Willy Sommers - More than 50 years of hits

Whether you are young or old, and a fan or not of Dutch-language music: everyone can sing along to ‘Zeven anjers, zeven rozen’. Fifty-four years ago, in 1971, Vlaanderen Willy De Gieter and his monster hit became known. The song would change his career and his life. From an anonymous student, he evolved into a well-known poster boy and a beloved teen idol. Anno 2026, Willy Sommers is an indispensable part of Flemish show business: as a singer, presenter, and entertainer, he is an absolute icon. Willy Sommers: ‘More than fifty years after I took my first steps on stage, I still feel like that energetic 18-year-old boy. Although I have, of course, clocked up some miles in the meantime. Enough, in any case, to bring an evening-filling program with hits for young and old!’
