Rob Kemps
Rob Kemps and the chanson have barely become synonyms. After the success of 'Hemel op aarde' - "infectiously fun", according to Theaterkrant - the subject for his next programme was already ready: Jacques Brel, according to Rob the greatest chansonnier of all time.

In 'Don't leave me alone' - didn't Brel sing 'Ne me quitte pas'? - Rob now takes us around the world. In the footsteps of Brel. With as much humour as emotion, he talks about the music and especially the life of his hero. And thus also about his own life. Rob cannot do otherwise. Because a life without Brel is no life at all.
