...there will be some promotional appearances for the new single, "Two in a Million".
Bertolf will be on Buma Harpen Gala at 20:30 on Ned. 3. tonight, 3 March 2010.
I was wrong about the reason for Bertolf's appearance at the Buma Harpen Gala. Instead he was awarded Zilveren Harp (Silver Harp). Congratulations, Bertolf!!
The Zilveren Harp (Silver Harp) is a Dutch award given annually to promising musical talent. The award is very prestigious and winners are chosen by a different jury each year. The Zilveren Harp is given by the foundation "Buma Cultuur", which aims to promote Dutch music. The first award was given in 1969, and it has been presented every year since (except for the year 1972).
The jury recognized Bertolf because of the quality of his songs: (translated) "The jury sees Bertolf a composer and lyricist with a great future."
