The walk tells the story of the career of Will Tura, the ’emperor of the Flemish song’. Among the participants yesterday also Nicole and Rita Hauspie, faithful fans since 1966. “We saw him perform for the first time in Beauvoorde,” says Nicole. “I worked there in the room. Someone shouted:” Come quickly, Will Tura is in the kitchen! ” He was a very pleasant man.
Along the way the participants also pass Tura’s birthplace in the Hobélaan and the statue that was unveiled in 2021. The singer was pleasantly surprised ten years ago when he heard about the guides. “He was really honored,” Mayeur recalls.
