The hitsong 'Hocus pocus' it's time way ahead :)
Focus
In Focus there was also Thijs van Leer, who also is still active in music on flute. Focus was a bit as the Golden Earring, one of the few bands who made hits all over the world...
Jan Akkerman is a multi-disciplined musician, he played a lot of session work for different (Dutch) artists and has worked with some big international artists.
Catalyst Guitar "The Jakkerman"
Jan is know for his experimenting with guitars and amps. One day I was at Huub Boel (our local guitar shop) and Huub had a new guitarbrand in his shop. It was conceptual, Catalyst was the brand, the build the guitar totally out of a plastic compound. Something guitarists all over didn't accept easy cause a guitar should be made out of wood.... The advantages of the compound guitars were that they never were influenced by cold, warmth or moister. Zo on every stage the same sound... Afterwards it turned out that the brand wasn't viable cause of issues with the instrument and a lack of interest from the crowd...
The Catalyst Jakkerman
Jan is always into 'different' music, some years ago he got involved in the Rosenberg Trio, Dutch Gypsy Jazz legends, Jan played along with them. And I must admit, he does a pretty good job :)..

Holland has produced some fine musicians, and Jan Akkerman is one of them for sure.....
