* On March 20th, Marga Scheide and Hans van Hemert attended the presentation of a Lifetime Achievement Award to Dutch music producers and brothers, Bolland & Bolland. The ceremony (organised by Martin Reitma and his team) took place at Kasteel Oud-Wassenaar, the Netherlands. Rob and Ferdi Bolland received the prestigious prize from the sports journalist Jack van Gelder.
Leading music magazines such as OOR, Soundz, Lust for Life and Zingmagazine, renowned pop journalists such as Jean Paul Heck, Koen Poolman, Robert Haagsma and Tom Blomberg and various important Dutch pop institutes decided, after consultation with the initiator – music journalist and organizer Martin Reitsma – to co-operate in the granting of this award. The jury praised Bolland & Bolland for their great significance within pop music, both nationally and internationally. The Bolland brothers produced and wrote many international hits, including the chart-toppers "Rock Me Amadeus" and "Jeanny" (1985) by Falco and "In The Army Now" by Status Quo (1986), which they released under their own name in 1982 as well as "Love House" by Samantha Fox (1988).
In addition to Hans van Hemert and Marga Scheide with her partner Michiel Gunning, other Dutch celebrities (including media personality Tineke de Nooij, photographer Claude Vanheye (who photographed Luv' for the covers of their records) and magician Hans Klok) were present.
