In this show we are taking you on a special midwinter tour of the Archeon Midwinter Fair in the Netherlands. And this show ends with a big bang you will definitely don’t want to miss! Continue reading “LAST Rapalje Show! – Episode #42”→
I am not able to get the Rapalje Show on YouTube at 15:00 because of the many concerts we had last weeks. It is always a lot of work and there is just not enough time to get in done. But later today I’ll upload the last Rapalje Show for you. And I’ll try to stay easy and free..
I now really start to feel the pressure of doing so many gigs in a month and trying to keep the video’s coming.
Really hope that you continue to support us on Patreon so I can change some things like editing on a better (faster) computer or letting somebody else do this and some other work that needs to be done for posting videos and livestreams.
Thank you so much for your help and understanding!

I’m going to open up some presents we got from you, by mail and in person as well!
During these wonderful December days, presents come from two guys: Santa Claus from the North Pole And Sinterklaas from Spain: A very well-known Bishop called Saint Nicholas. He brings Zwarte Piet and we’re going to check out where his bedroom is…

A fest for young and old, where, as soon as you enter the gates, you find yourself in the Other World. Castlefest is a total experience with lots of fantasy writers, themed catering, lots of music, medieval crafts and a large market which offers everything a fantasy fan is looking for.
I will tell you how you can take good videos with your smartphone and have great audio quality as well! Will you be in our official music video for “Flatlands”?
Most smart phones take amazing videos with good sound quality, so why not just join in and record a video of yourself dancing and singing along to our song “Flatlands”? You will see it back in our official music video.
And are you our Patreon? Then you get your very own music video with just you and Rapalje cut by Maceál, or Maceál even records the whole video with you!
Now you can film yourself for our brand new official music video for the song “Flatlands”. You can make this video yourself and I’ll explain to you how to do that on your smartphone.
Use high resolution (1080P HD – 4K UHD)
Clean your lens with soft cotton or microfibre cloth
Shoot horizontally (wide)
Use enough light, go outside on a bright day or set up lights indoor
When you use the flashlight on your smartphone, take the phone out of the case to avoid reflections
When you see flickering or lines, set frame rate to 25 or 30 fps
“Drunken Sailor” is a sea shanty, also known as “What Shall We Do with a/the Drunken Sailor”.
The shanty was sung to accompany certain work tasks aboard sailing ships, especially those that required a bright walking pace. It is believed to originate in the early 19th century or before, during a period when ships’ crews, especially those of military vessels, were sufficiently large to permit hauling a rope whilst simply marching along the deck. With the advent of merchant packet and clipper ships and their smaller crews, which required different working methods, use of the shanty appears to have declined or shifted to other, minor tasks.
