We recorded Hans Theessink’s legendary Birthday Bash concerts at the Metropol in Vienna 2023 and 2024. Fans and musical lovers came from all over Europe and North America to celebrate Hans’ birthday (5 April). The atmosphere was splendid – Hans and his musical colleagues took us on a marvelous musical journey – handmade music at its best. This unique Birthday Bash document full of great moments and unusual sessions is available on 180g Vinyl and double CD

I’ve been on the road for over 50 years and feel blessed that I’ve been able to make this incredible musical journey, often accompanied by a wonderful extended family of music makers. I’ve been fortunate enough that many of my favorite muso friends have joined me for my annual Birthday Bash concerts over the years. The 75 Birthday Bash was no exception – we had some incredible nights full of musical celebration.
Making music together is a wonderful thing – good for the body and soul.
We would like to share that special spirit with you.
Enjoy the 75 Birthday Bash, Hans Theessink
