Once upon a time…. so start many fairytales. The following is one of the stories that have often happened around the globe. Young people see the Beatles on TV and pick up guitars themselves, other go see the Velvet Underground in concert and go form their own band. A dream that many young people have of making a career in show business, in an artistic surrounding – very few really making it onto the spotlight, very few make the fairytale happen. The story in this episode takes place in Amsterdam and the people involved are singer/guitarist Henk Hofstede, drummer Rob Kloet and singer/guitarist Michiel Peters. They start making music together in the Sixties, then form an own band that over time becomes the Nits who will much later conquer Europe. Production and Design Darren Hayne.
