What do Bennie Jolink, Dirty Boulevard, Willem Homan and Henk de Wit in common do? They all come especially for a hundred years TT with their own TT number.
The TT has been inspiring musicians for decades. From Pieter van Boxtel and the orchestra to Mooi Wark and The Cresters, they recorded the event in a song. Below you can read an overview of all kinds of new TT songs.
In any case, this year is a famous name, Bennie Jolink. Jolink once made the motorsport number of the Netherlands, with normal, Loud. “Bertus Op Zijk Norton and Tinus on the BSA,” who can’t sing along. But with the road race, let alone the TT Assen, it has nothing to do at all. Bennie Jolink sings about the friends Bertus and Tinus, who visit a cross competition in the Achterhoek. After the competition, they, both under the influence, become involved in a traffic accident.
The song was rewritten especially for a hundred years of TT. Tinus has had to make way for Rossi. The Hengelse Zand has become the TT circuit and Jack Middelburg, Wil Hartog and Boet van Dulmen have a role.
