Tonight the time has finally come: our own Emma Koning from De Goorn will represent North Holland and NH at the Regional Song Contest. To help her with her nerves, we asked well-known North Hollanders Cor Bakker and Wolter Kroes to wish our star good luck.
22-year-old Emma wrote her song at an exciting time, namely when she decided to have nodules operated on from her vocal cords. During the operation, her situation turned out to be even more difficult than expected – it was not at all certain whether she would ever be allowed to sing again.
It is clear that she has managed to get through it, given her place in the national final of the Regional Song Contest tonight. Well-known North Hollander (or BNH member) Wolter Kroes already recorded this wish for success.

The Regional Song Contest can be seen live tonight from 8:30 PM to approximately 10:30 PM on NH, online and on television. Around 9:40 PM, after the last song, the lines open and people who care about Emma can vote for her song to ultimately become the national winner. Information about voting will be announced during the broadcast.
