Surpluz was founded in 2007 and soon conquered the hearts of many dancers, listeners and criticists in the Flemish folk scene. The past years they played at almost every folkfestival (Gooikoorts, Dranouter Festival, Folkfestival Ham…) or folkmusic club (‘t Ey, Muziekcentrum Dranouter…) in Flanders. Besides that, they performed in the Netherlands (Folkwoods), France (Het Lindeboomfestival) and did a tour in Estonia.

As one of the only bands of the ‘young generation’ folkies in Flanders, Surpluz brings traditional Flemish folksongs with traditional instruments (bagpipes, hurdy-gurdy, dulcimer…). They arrange these songs in their own way, with a modern touch. As a quartet they released 2 albums: “De Koperen Plaat” (The copper plate) and “Laat ons drinken!” (Let’s have a drink!).

For their new program they invited vocalists Jonas Cole (Brussels Vocal Project) and Hanneke Oosterlijnck (GFVP, Folgazan) and found new material and inspiration in the personal libraries of folkmusic authorities Herman Dewit (‘t Kliekske), Marc Vandemoortele (VRT - Radio 1 & Klara) and Dree Peremans (ex-Radio 1). The premiere of this new program took place in 2015 on the biggest folkfestival in Flanders, Dranouter Festival and got excellent comments on the website Folkroddels.be and in FOLK magazine.
