The story of Heights Meditation is the story of a group of serious musicians with ambition. A group of friends with a passion. The sum of diversity, spontanuity and professionalism, which was awarded, by winning the Benelux Reggae Contest in 2015!
To say these musicians bring out the best in eachother is an understatement. This productive collaboration resulted in the release of the record The System, with a solid mix of mellow and up-tempo tracks. Their shows in pubs, venues and festival like Zwarte Cross, Reggae Geel (Belgium), Rastaplas, Kwaku Festival (Amsterdam), Reuring aan Zee (Katwijk, South-Holland), TivoliVredenburg (Utrecht), Woodstock (Bloemendaal), Patronaat (Haarlem) and many others, were a huge success without exception. It should come as no surprise then, that the name of Heights Meditation is growing ever bigger. The band has become somewhat of a householde name in the local reggae scene.
HERS is personal, dynamic and straight from the heart. On first sight is it recognisable pop, but their work is divers and the music is disctinct by the unique soulfull and sometimes electronical sound.

Hircus Circus is a band from Volendam with only one goal: a smashing performance. The band plays tasty rock albums from the years ' 60, ' 70 and ' 80 (The Beatles, Steely Dan, Queen, The Beach Boys), but also makes trips to other eras. With energetic ensemble, polyphonic vocals and a varied repertoire, Hircus Circus delivers swinging and catching music.
Holy Moly & The Crackers are a seven-piece ‘gypsy folk-n-roll’ band from the UK. They released their debut album ‘First Avenue’ in October 2012 and an EP ‘Lilly’ a year later – described as “a re-imagining of three traditional folk/blues songs that evokes eras of whiskey and guns on modern punk folk steroids”. Their newest single ‘A Punk Called Peter’ (2015) is “a sort of New Orleans funeral march mixed with some fine and highly danceable reggae”. Tracks from the album and EP have been played by Amazing Radio, BBC Introducing and leading music critic Mike Harding.
They are making an impact on both the national and international tour circuit; they have played well over 200 shows throughout the UK, including sell out concerts in London, the Midlands, Yorkshire, Newcastle and Edinburgh. They have also toured in Europe. The band have performed at major festivals across the country, including shows at Hop Farm Festival, Secret Garden Party, Boomtown and Cornbury Festival, where they opened for Jools Holland.
Holy Moly and the Crackers are influenced by an eclectic range of styles and artists - the honest grit and gravel of Woody Guthrie, the gypsy bone-cage burlesque of Gogol Bordello: punk, ska, reggae, folk, blues, honky-tonk, Balkan etc. As such they play a unique mash-up of folk/blues, waltz tempos and hoe-downs and french zazou in outlandish carnival style. It is loud, funky and fun.
From the attic to national success with The Clash Of The Coverbands. When these five students are not cramming for exams, they travel far and wide with their mix of pop and rock.
Homemade Water is a fresh pop and rock cover band, that is making steps in becoming well known in Delft and the rest of The Netherlands. The band brings a tight and varied set of well known rock and pop songs, as well as some original material. Many venues and bars have since had the pleasure of having them burn the house down!
Hoodoo Operators are a four piece country blues band from West Yorkshire.
Born of booze, blues and a love of doom, Hoodoo Operators enjoy nothing more than making as much noise as possible without a drummer. Formed from a drinking club that decided they could be a band, they seek to indulge the darker side of the human mind whilst sound tracking your perfect Saturday night singalong.

After having played for years in the semi-legendary Das Band, the former members perform now with Hopper. A Delft alternative band that goes for the better, alternative rock songs. Hopper mainly plays covers from the 80s and 90s (new wave, rock, grunge to funk metal) with sidetrips to other decades.
Hopper consists of experienced musicians, who have played all the relevant stages in Delft and surroundings the past few years. Live the band can display their strengths, with a lot of contact with the audience and musical surprises in their arrangements, such as mash-ups or version with an authentic Hoppers-sound and feel. Hopper is fat, in every way!
