THE NEW ORLEANS Z\u2019HULUS<\/strong>\u00a0have now been \u201con the warpath\u201d for over 30 years. The band, formed in 1984, was the brainchild of the legendary Belgian drummer Maurice Van Eyck, because he wanted a group of musicians with similar views to his, to continue to play in the \u201cold\u201d New Orleans tradition. Sadly the years of \u201chard living\u201d has taken its toll on Maurice and he has retired to the south of France. \u00a0However, three decades on, the band is still fulfilling his wishes and we are continuing to \u2018look after it\u2019 for him. The New Orleans Z\u2019hulus play festivals and clubs throughout Europe. All of the members have either lived, or spent, considerable time in New Orleans recording, or playing with the \u2018greats\u2019 of this music.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

DAN VERCRUYSSE <\/strong>(Belgium) Trumpet. Dan has been with the band since 2006. He brings a calm and an authoritative lead to the band, as well as bringing a rich variety of new numbers into the band\u2019s book. A resident of Kortrijk, he also leads his own group \u2018The Superior Dance Band\u2019. As the title suggests, he is a great admirer of Bunk Johnson.<\/p>\n

PHILIPPE DE SMET<\/strong> (Belgium) Trombone. One of the founder members of the Z\u2019hulus<\/strong>, in his early days he was heavily influenced by Louis Nelson. So much so, that he was invited to dep when the great man took sick during a Swiss tour with \u2018Danny Barker\u2019s Band\u2019. He is in great demand, both on trombone and his second instrument, the tenor sax.<\/p>\n

JOHN DEFFERARY<\/strong> (U.K. & Germany) Clarinet. An outstanding reedman, John has graced many of the top bands for half a century. His CV includes long stints with Papa Bue, Chris Barber and Trevor Richards. He first came to prominence with \u2018Keith Smith\u2019s Climax Band\u2019 in the early sixties, which also included Brian Turnock. His association with the Z\u2019hulus<\/strong> goes way back and he was on the first ever recording of the band.<\/p>\n

EMILE VAN PELT<\/strong> (Holland) Piano. An extremely talented pianist and vocalist, Emile has worked with several bands in Europe over the years. He has become more familiar with British audiences recently, as a member of \u2018Sammy Rimington\u2019s Band\u2019. A solid hard driving pianist in the true New Orleans tradition, he is both an accomplished rhythm man and a soloist<\/p>\n

BRIAN TURNOCK<\/strong> (U.K. Belgium) String Bass. A member of the Z\u2019hulus<\/strong> for over a quarter of a century, Brian has been a member of many of the top bands on the New Orleans circuit. Beginning in the 60\u2019s with Keith Smith and for many years with Barry Martyn, Brian then settled on mainland Europe and worked with Sammy Rimington and Lillian Boutte. He has recorded with all of the top New Orleans artists ranging from George Lewis and John Handy to Don Ewell and Lil Armstrong.<\/p>\n

EMILE MARTYN<\/strong> (U.K.\/U.S.A.) Drums. Having played with the Z\u2019hulus<\/strong> on their Swiss tours, Emile is a welcome addition to the drum chair. Following in his father\u2019s footsteps, he studied drums with the old masters whilst living in New Orleans and is one of the few exponents of the old style New Orleans beat.<\/p>\n
