The British-Dutch formation “the Relatives” started in the beginning of the 90’s after Jack Monck and WillemJan Droog met and discovered that their compositions and musical ideas had a remarkable connection.
In that period the Relatives toured a couple of times a year through the Netherlands, Belgium and the U.K. They started recording a CD in London, which has never been finished. After a couple of years of interruption the Relatives did recently some gigs and enjoyed so much playing together again, that they decided to record a new album and finish it this time.
The “World Radio Premiere” of the new CD took place on Tuesday 26th of June2007 in the VPRO Radio 6 program “Cantina VPRO” . (direct link, 2nd hour 13.20h).
WillemJan Droog was the special guest in the Radio 6 lunchprogram Cantina VPRO on 17 th of June 2008, talking about his favourit music, and making the CD "Trans Europ Connection", and of course a song from the album.
