Terts Brinkhoff , founder of De Parade, has a set of sheds on the ragged edge of Weesp in which all the travelling festival's tents are stored, when not rented out. In April, the management (now Ray van Santen and Nicole van Vessum) gathers all the artists from the upcoming summer tour there for an introduction. Press time, of course. And with the weather like on 18 April 2011, not a punishment at all.
We went looking and asked about the known, and the unknown way. The answers in the video. The rest between bottles of rosé in summer.
