Ralph de Jongh.<\/strong>
\nWe have seen Ralph with his band several times in Wijk. In the Mole Mill, he is solo. He is very likely one of the hardest working songwriters in the Netherlands. A hard-working songwriter who doesn’t sacrifice anything in terms of quality, let that be clear. From 2019 he released no less than then ten CDs with lots of new, own songs. The rave reviews with five stars flew ‘m around the ears. Original and authentic music straight from the heart. You feel that, you experience that and you never forget that. “One of the best songwriters in the Netherlands” – Music Maker Magazine “It is truly a sensation to see this charismatic blond god at work” – Het Parool.<\/p>\n
