Willem Vermandere

Being a cabaret performer, article writer, poet, philosopher, sculptor, and painter, traditional Belgian folksinger Willem Vermandere prefers to think about himself as an designer greater than a musician. Blessed in Lauwe in 1940, he initial started teaching spiritual research before his mixture of funny and socially mindful songs about everyday routine made him perhaps one of the most well-known figures over the ’60s Western world Flemish picture. Accompanied by regular support music artists Freddy Desmedt (flute/clarinet) and Pol Depoorter (electric guitar/mandolin), Vermandere provides continuing to tour since, and in 2011 celebrated his 70th birthday using the discharge of Alles Gaat Over.
