The Huntsman's Apology
Band, IE
Rock and Pop
The Huntsman's Apology - so named after a poem by Irish poet John Montague - was founded in the early nineties in Rotterdam by brothers Eric and Pim Boekesteyn. Originally a four piece, featuring Fred Stekelenburg on guitar and Hans Klop on bass, their setlist was fed on an eclectic choice of covers by Nick Drake, Tim Buckley, and more obscure folksongs. Soon however, these were traded for original material, especially after the arrival of Dorine Hehemann, whose brilliant violin playing and tender voice directed the band towards a more defined style: A unique blend of rock, classical sounds, folk and underground, with a melancholy twist. Following a number of acoustic radio sessions, the band started to experiment and include electric guitars in their sound. The departure of Hans Klop sounded the bell for a whole new era, with Luc Bunt on electric bass and Holger Breek on drums. They provided the songs with an edge, where tender folk could explode in mayhem of total abandon, and often within seconds. This line-up recorded the debut album 'Snare' in 1997. Its release met with excellent Dutch press and secured them a spot on the prestigious Crossing Border Festival.
