about

RK Veulpoepers BV (also known as R.K. Veulpoepers B.V.) was a dutch anarcho-folk band. In 1976 RK Veulpoepers BV was initiated in the Dutch province of Brabant, in the village Hilvarenbeek. This group was specialized in happy-folkmusic with Dutch lyrics. Lyrics with a lot of engagement about the morals of Christian-Democrats and commercial media and a band with a lot of activities against establishment. In their own environment they fight against local authorities. Results: They organized their own youth-culture-centre and art-festival “Bikse Fiste” (1977-1981), with 70.000 visitors in 1981 (red.: the population of Hilvarenbeek was just 10.000 people). This ‘Collective’ played on big parties and political manifestations, everywhere in Holland. In 1978 Veulpoepers make the LP-recording Diarree. They are concerned about SHELL, aggressive Police and N-bomb, but ordinary lyrics were not avoided. The band was influenced by groups like BOTS, Muszikas ( Hungary), Alain Stivell (France) and Gwendal (France/Spain) as well as Dubliners and Fairport Convention maybe... In 1979 Veulpoepers move to Tilburg. Den Egelantier just didn’t achieve a high place on the hit-charts. They refused to compromise to the rules of show-business (like ‘play-back’ in TV-shows) and that meant the end of the hit-single. In 1981 they released their second album the title "Een frisse wind" (Fresh air), which was recorded live on their own festival ‘Bikse Fiste’. They started other projects for their found
