Name          : Franck van de Wijer

Instrument: Clarinet and vocals

It was in the year 1990 when René and Hugo heard Franck at the local Mardi Gras in Maastricht, playing everything and everywhere he could. So he was asked to join the “King Zulu Brass Band”. Until that time Franck never played some jazz, but in a few months the music was his. From that time he loves it and understands it to play the tears out off your eyes. Later Franck also joined the “New Orleans Dusty Duds”, who after some changes is nowadays called the “Gumbo Jazzband”.

Franck is also the first vocalist of the band.
