Just On Maastricht TV in Their News Section
Pierre announced: André Rieu wants to give a benefit concert for the victims of the Flood in England/Wales. When he saw the images he immediately thought back to the flooding of Limburg in 1995 when he joined a fundraising drive on Dutch TV. Andre reserved 22 and 23 February in his agenda and checked that the Wembley Arena in London is available. He is thinking of a big fundraising drive, supported by BBC, ITV, with more artists added. André launched the suggestion and hopes that other organizations help to realize this action.
Wow, British fans, call the BBC, write to newspapers, to realize such a performance to help the victims!! Ineke

I just want to thank Andre for thinking of the people of England and Wales . It is quite awful here on flood watch no sleep and everyone so tired. We just pray for an end but our man as always has made us all feel better. I hope he succeeds and wish him well for these concerts

I second your comments Carol. It's been an awful time especially for people living in the South and South West of the UK. I live on the East Coast and it was a scary night with the high gales and winds (my fence is down!). Andre is such a thoughtful, kind and compassionate man, I had enormous respect for him before but now he has taken this initiative my admiration and love for him is sky high! On behalf of us all in the UK, Andre, thank you so much.
