About Arno van der Heyden
Arno van der Heyden built his career around the province of Groningen. After coming back to the city in 1989 he joined the theatre company Theater te Water as an actor and violinist. In the early 1990s he made two cabaret programmes as part of a duo, De voorkant van het ongelijk and Het duet, and from 1995 to 2001 he performed in Trio Kloosterboer with Jan Veldman and Rob Elzenga.
Regional broadcasting gave him a steady outlet.

From 2001 he appeared at the annual Noorderzon festival as host of Arno's Apéritief. His best known song, De Vief, is about blowing up the chimneys of the Hunzecentrale power station.
