Musicians
Singer and comedienne Jeannette Scheffer sings the so-called 'strong women repertoire'. She was inspired by Adele Bloemendaal, Jenny Arean, Hetty Blok, Conny Vandenbos and Conny Stuart and it can be heard. But she also sings her own song lyrics with a comic touch. In addition to the programs with Yvonne Keuls and Rik Fennis, she also performs as the high blonde Coba / Coba Lichtekooi der Zangkunst from The Hague (also on Showbird) with, among other things, unabashedly cheerful Dutch songs from all musical genres about lost red light districts and ladies in all possible situations.
Rik Fennis is a conservatory-trained guitarist, plays all styles with a preference for jazz and is also a composer and arranger for various artists.
For the themed programs together with Yvonne Keuls and Jeannette Scheffer, Fennis' guitar parts are a true delight to the ear. In addition, his engaging personality works perfectly with the two ladies present next to him on stage!
You can choose from various theme programs:
THEME: 'THE HAGUE'

Writer Yvonne Keuls tells about special encounters in her beloved city by the sea. Singer Jeannette Scheffer and guitarist Rik Fennis sing the most beautiful classics about The Hague and Scheveningen. A feast of recognition! In between the two ladies chat with each other and with the audience. This threesome knows their business and always provides a wonderful relaxed performance with lots of fun and recognition.
THEME: ANIMALS
Pets have always played a major role in the life of Yvonne Keuls. It will therefore not surprise anyone that over the years many beautiful and funny stories arose from them.
