Thread Name: Kloppertje - folk music cafe in Amsterdam
Subject: RE: KLOPPERTJE' AMSTERDAM
Kloppertje was near the corner of the Lijnbaansgracht and the Rozengracht. Closed in about 1972. The space was taken over by a man from Oklahoma called Bode and it became Bode's music inn. Clarence White played there as did Byron Berline and numerous other famous players as Bode was also a pretty big cocert promoter and put on concerts at the Concertgebouw with The Eagles, Flying Burrito Brothers, Stephen Stills/Mannassas etc.

Kloppertje was a great little club where all the regular suspects from that time were playing and hanging out. Bruce and Hugo, Clive Collins, Imor Byrne and Niall Fitzpatrick.
