de Buddy's

de Buddy's

de Buddy's (also known as Jongenszanggroep de Buddy's) was a boys' choir (show choir) based in Delft, The Netherlands that existed under this name from 1976 - 2005. The choir was founded as a traditional church choir in 1966 as De Nicolaessanghers with 30 voices from 9–16 years. Inspired from the French choir Les Poppys and their hit "Non, non, rien n'a changé" (No, no, nothing has changed, 1970) the choir was renamed and changed to the pop genre. Since 2005 there is the successor choir re-speKt[1].

de Buddy's are very famous in The Netherlands and had many performances in and outside the country and also for Beatrix of the Netherlands. They had supported social projects as well.
