   Douglas Firs: General Info
Member Since11/21/2006
Band Websitehttp://www.douglasfirs.be
Band Members Gertjan Van Hellemont
lead vocal, guitar, lap steel, harmonica


and his band:

Sem Van Hellemont
or Senne Guns
piano, backing vocals
Simon Casier
bass, guitar, backing vocals
Christophe Claeys
drums, trumpet, backing vocals


'Shimmer and Glow' is the first recording with new band members Simon Casier on bass, and Christophe Claeys on drums. Gertjan played the piano on a beautiful Steinway at the Bijloke, Ghent, and he sang lead and most of the backing vocals, except a few that Sem did. The strings at the end are played by Eline Duerinck (This is where my little saturn sleeps), who played cello, and Patricia Vanneste (Balthazar), who was patient enough to do all the violin parts. Gyuri Spies did the mastering.

Piano and synth on 'Baby Jack' by Anton Walgrave.

Trombones and bass tubas in 'I will let you down' by Glen De Jonghe.

In 'Sally', you can hear Billie Bentein (she's gonna be famous) and Jinte Deprez (Balthazar) singing the backing vocals.

'The Kitchen Table' was recorded at Ghosttown Studio by Geert Vanbever (Rudy Trouvé), except the piano, which we recorded at the Bijloke, in Ghent. Senne Guns (Tomán) was sitting behind the piano, Simon Segers (Members Of Marvelas) played drums, and you can hear Simon on bass.

drunk friends in 'Apple': Wim, Pieter, Hubert, Andy, Sem, Jeroen, Jef, Kenneth, Gerben, Jasper, Thomas, Stan and Katleen.
whistle solo by dad.
