After the terrorist attacks in Belgium in 2016, they did not want to crawl away in fear. They put a drum kit on a pallet, put on a hat and went to different public places to cheer people up with recognizable tunes. Often a large circle of casual passers-by formed around the trio. Niveau Chapeau was born.
After the hard school as a street musician, they have grown into a much sought-after band for weddings, receptions, anniversaries, birthdays, neighborhood parties, garden parties, openings, company parties, etc.
On October 19, 2018, they received the Culture Prize for music from the municipality of Rumst. See also in these newspaper articles: GVA 25/10/2018 and GVA 26/04/2018.
