ANDRÉ RIEU Special in Chapeau!
CHAPEAU MAGAZINE Preview: For Toine Scheerens, president of the collaborative Sahot Hotels in Maastricht and director of the NH Hotel, the concerts of André Rieu on the Vrijthof can no longer be ignored. "They are a huge boost for the hotels during the month of July, which normally is viewed as a weak month and because of the concerts has now become a very good month.
"It is six times 10,000 visitors who travel to Maastricht, and that during a period when many people are on holiday. It's not just all about the rooms, many of the guests book an all inclusive package with dinner and transportation to and from the Vrijthof. We also have six additional buses running daily, in addition to extra taxi-cabs.
In addition to this special: The renowned Amsterdam photographer Govert de Roos, followed André Rieu for months in preparation for a special photo book. The results can now be found in a book titled, "André Rieu, The Man Behind The Phenomenon." The audiences of the Vrijthof concerts in Maastricht are afforded a primary opportunity to purchase this book during the concerts. In Chapeau! we offer you an exclusive preview. A small selection of the numerous photos de Roos has shot of Rieu from Maastricht to Mexico and Amsterdam to America.
Thanks to John for Translating this for us right after getting back home from Maastricht!

Looks like a great book! Did anyone have a chance to buy one?
Hi from Maastricht. Yes, indeed we bought the Chapeau Magazine!! There are a few rather big articles and interviews and we cannot scan and send them from our laptop in Maastricht. So please have a little patience. We'll send the articles to John after Monday for translation.
Ineke.
