SEAN BERGIN’S MOB
Sean Bergin-clarinet, alto saxophone, tenor saxophone, Tobias Delius-clarinet, tenor saxophone, Jan Willem van der Ham-alto saxophone, bassoon, Eric Boeren-cornet, Wolter Wierbos-trombone, Franky Douglas-guitar, Mary Oliver-violin, Alex Maguire-piano, Tristan Honsinger-cello, Ernst Glerum-double bass, Han Bennink-drums
From the raw, catchy kwelas from the ‘shebeens’, the bars of his homeland South Africa, to free, cutting edged expeditions, reed player Sean Bergin performs it all with unstoppable swing and puts his heart and soul in every note. After having infused many Dutch bands with his spirit, he founded MOB (My Own Band) in 1986, a group with nothing but star players that turn every concert into a steaming party.
