What is the easiest and most fun way to learn a language? By singing it! Dirk de Vriendt knows fun and entertaining songs to make the language course less boring. Take your chance now and book Dirk de Vriendt via ShowBird!

If you give Dutch, French, English, German, Italian or Spanish language courses and would like something different from the classic lesson schedule, then Dirk offers an ideal alternative to your lessons. "Playing is the most popular way of our brains to learn" How about organizing half a day or an evening, singing songs in the language of the course ? The lyrics are gradually introduced by Dirk and little by little everyone sings along. This has been tested many times and always bingo. Feel free to contact us and this can be checked at your institute.
The performance is only acoustic, without playback or the like, purely with acoustic guitar and voice so. The performance can be in Dutch, English, German or French.

Price variation:
Price is €350 including sound material up to 100 listeners and can be extended to 500 listeners at €100. Transport costs up to 100 km from Ghent are included (200 km there and back); extra €0,25km. Everything is negotiable in function of the assignment. The 120 minutes before a performance can be divided into one or more breaks, depending on the assignment.

Born in Ghent on 22 April 1951 and still lives there. His first performance was in December 1966 and that's obvious from his current repertoire with songs from the 50's to the present day. And the funny thing is that nowadays especially the youngsters are crazy about the music of the old days. In 1971 he became laureate and press prize winner of the 'Discover The Star' competition on BRT television, the then 'Soundmix Show', so to speak. After a varied life as a singer, guitarist, accompanist, composer and having worked with both domestic and foreign artists, Dirk has been singing for you for several hours since 2001 and accompanies himself on acoustic guitar. When playing 'covers', requests often come from the audience, and nothing is more tempting than to give in to this. Since the best ideas often come from unexpected angles, the following question didn't remain unanswered for long: why not make a list of songs known by everyone and bring them on request? Today Dirk's audience is offered a 'menu' with more than 1000 titles from various genres of rock, folk, blues, Country to cabaret and chanson. A varied program with timeless music in which the audience has its own input and where everyone will (hopefully) be a little happier.
