Henny Barnhoorn
(27-10-1954)

The Nestor of the band. As a child Henny had piano lessons. His piano teacher was already at the age of seventy, so it was only possible to play classical music. And that wasn't so interesting in the time of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, so the lessons ended. His attention went to learning to play the guitar. As a 13-year old boy he regularly performed together with his niece at parties. Later on he choose to take on pop music and he played in various bands and duos.

In the eighties came in touch with folk music and became a member of the Callan Band of which he was a part for about six years.


A band of some distinction, who for instance played with the McCalmans. When the Callan Band ceased to exist, Henny in pursuit of a new musical challenge and so he came across the bagpipes, which is the instrument that brought Tapsalteerie together.

Henny's favorite tune is: Ass in the Graveyard

Saying: We begin at start

Weirdest thing done in the last few months: stop drinking.

Is known to immitate Urbanus (a belgium comic) during rehearsals.
