TEE SET (ARTIST BIOGRAPHY)
This group from Delft was formed in 1965 by singer
Peter Tettero (ex-Shats). After having, for the most part, played
r&b, their repertoire became more and more commercial. The records
came out on their own Teeset Records label.
At the time of the foundation, they were: Peter (vocals), Carry
Janssen (drums, later to Nico Haak), Gerard Romeyn (bass, 1966-67 on
guitar, to the Motions). In 1966 Robert Plazier (keyboards,
ex-C-Sounds, later with Nico Haak) and Franklin Madjid (bass,
ex-James Mean) came on board.
Hans van Eyck had already been playing regularly with them then, and
composed many songs for the Tee Set. In 1967, a whole new lineup was
formed: Peter, Franklin, Pierre van der Linden (drums, replaced by
Joop Blom, ex-James Mean, soon thereafter), Dill Bennink (keyboards,
guitar), Ferdy Karmelk (guitar, ex-James Mean and later in Les
Baroques, already soon replaced by Englishman Ray Fenwick, who had
played with Gene Vincent and Christian St.Peters and later found in
After Tea) and Jan Pieter Boekhoorn (organ, ex-Jumping Pop-ins,
later in Sympathy). Boekhoorn already left in 1967 and was followed
by resp. Peter Seilberger (later in Fairy Tale, stayed until 1969)
and Hans van Eyck (ex-After Tea), who then stayed permanently.
1970: Peter (vocals), Hans (keyboards), Herman van Boeyen (drums,
ex-Fullhouse, already in the same year followed by Max Spangenberg),
Ferry Lever (guitar, ex-After Tea, stayed till 1975), Franklin
Madjid (bass). The Tee Set are still around, their fan-club site is
located at http://www.betuwe.net/~tee-set. Polle Eduard was also a
member in the beginning, playing on guitar (1965-66) and bass
(1966). |
