Archive material and source history
Wapenspraak & Drinkgelag formed in the late 1960s, drawing from traditional Dutch folk songs, medieval music, and Celtic melodies. Their name translates to "Coats of Arms & Banquet," which hints at their interest in historical themes. They put out their self-titled debut album in 1971, which included the song "Al Onder Den Beevenden Haeselaere."
That track, based on an old folk tale, became one of their most recognizable pieces. Other songs like "De Orde Van Het Zwijn" and "In 't Heetst Van Den Streyd" appear in their catalog. Early on, some critics found their medieval-inspired sound dated, but they kept working in that vein.
The group's lineup featured Jaap Kroonenburg on vocals, guitar, and mandolin; Rinus Verhage on vocals, flute, and whistles; Cor Deinum on vocals and bass; and Reinier Bruggink on vocals and drums. They released several albums through the 1970s and 1980s, such as "Luister Naar De Stemme" in 1973 and "Roosevelde" in 1981.
