Ring the bells, beat the drum, a Christmas tradition is born: Clean Pete’s Christmas Show! Clean Pete’s acclaimed Christmas album ‘Gloria‘ grew over the past few years into a spectacle show full of guest artists from all musical genres. Philosophical musings and classical music are seamlessly interspersed with glamorous musical excesses.

All emotions pass by in a show that interweaves the sacred and the chaotic. A choir sings, the band rocks, the pain is named. This year, sisters Loes and Renée Wijnhoven aka Clean Pete will again celebrate their deep love for Christmas and Christmas music in a surprising show. From five stars in de Volkskrant to a nomination in the list of the best new Christmas records in the American music magazine Rolling Stone. On 18 December, the Christmas show is live here at De Oosterpoort!

“Christmas has humour, glamour and edgy legs. There is Christmas loneliness, Christmas anxiety and Christmas lust. Christmas wears a green glitter dress, a beekeeper suit or a crooked tie. Christmas is sung, framed by a rock band, expressed in dynamic dance steps, driven around in a sleigh. All this happens in the nearly two-hour revue by Renée (vocals/cello) and Loes (vocals/guitar) Wijnhoven, aka Clean Pete.”
