Freeway

Freeway is a Dutch rock group from Amersfoort, founded by Wim Bos (bass player) and Dick Visser (drums) on 1 March 1968. Their rock & roll-like style of music is broadly comparable to the Rolling Stones. The founding musicians were: Dick Visser - drums and lead singer Wim Bos - bass guitar Elly van Zoelen - singer Roy Driessen - rhythm guitar Gijs Westerning - lead guitar By adding a new lead singer George Legierse and replacement of both guitarists Gijs and Roy by Hans van Hamersveld the band was becoming better known outside the region of Utrecht. History During their early years the band played abroad, typically for the British Forces in Germany. They played many English songs, like the Rolling Stones, the Beatles and Them. Once the singer asked a fellow if the English pronunciation of the songs was right. The chap had no problem with that. Over the years, many changes in the band's lineup has occurred, but Legierse and Van Hamersveld have been at the core of the band.
