Purple Patron
Purple Patron are a two-man busking band by Ronald Woudenberg and Patrick van Zandwijk. After creating music together for over 6 years it was time to turn the collaboration into an official band. In early 2019 the two started writing music under the band name of Woodwick.

At the end of June Purple Patron did a short busking tour around Germany, Luxembourg, Belgium and the Netherlands. Purple Patron are currently working on their next covers EP.
