WIM DANIELS
Wim Daniëls writes books, presents various TV programs and plays in the theatre. Together with Meriam Wehrens of Boekhandel Van Piere, he ran the successful book program Boekie Night for six years, which returns several times this year because of the jubilee of Bookstore Van Piere (175th anniversary).

SIMITS
Simits starts with Max Silverenberg. At little Max's house the music of the renowned Jewish singer Leo Fuld was played on a suitcase pick-up. Later, Max gathers a number of musicians around him who celebrate their love for music with friendship, spontaneity and fun. Simits' music is typically Yiddish. That means cheerful, but also sad and melancholic at the same time.

NEXT EDITIONS
The next two editions of Boekie Night will take place on September 12 and December 12, 2023. More information will follow soon.
