Eefje De Visser

Time to throw some Dutch music in the mix. Eefje de Visser is a, still fairly unknown,  Dutch singer songwriter. I like her sound, with the sparse instrumentation:

‘Afdwaalt’, live at Radio 2 (March 23, 2011)

John and Paul putting together the medley

Linda: "They were putting together the medley, Paul had asked John for undeveloped songs, and so John threw in ‘mean Mr Mustard’ and Paul put in ‘She Came In Through The Bathroom Window’. I remember Paul at home working out on that notepad the ways in which he could join these fragments together. This picture is from the moment he showed the notes to John to get his comments.”
