3FM Serious Talent, single ‘Another Day’ as 3FM Megahit, ‘Mr Light’ at no. 2 in the Dutch Top 50 and a Silver Harp. Yet there was a chance that there would never appear a new Bertolf album; in 2012 the singer-songwriter from Zwolle stopped as a solo artist and started a new band. Then suddenly, in the summer of 2015, there was this new song, ‘Jericho’…
Never had Bertolf more favorable reactions to a song then with the release of this song. The song proved to be a foretaste of the wonderful fourth solo album ‘First & Then’. The album got a four-star rating by Dutch newspaper ‘Volkskrant’. Every song of the album First & Then ‘is richly colored, often with strings and winds, so the golden melodies flourish at it’s best.
