------------------------------------------ "BACK IN THE DAYS..." There is no precise date when the Rosenberg Trio actually started to be a trio. Being kids of a very musical family they grew up with the music of Django Reinhardt. In 1974 Hans Meelen met for the first time members of the Sinti-community. Stochelo was 6 years old at that time.Hans started to play in the churches with Sani Rosenberg (the father of Nous'che and Nonnie), Wasso Grünholz (grandfather of Stochelo) and Storo Berger on violin.

When Stochelo was about 10 years old he started to play the guitar together with cousin and buddy Nous'che. Hans Meelen formed the band "Manouche" with Stochelo, Nous'che and Rino van Hooydonk on guitar, Hans on clarinet and Gijs van Helden or Leon de Wijs on bass. They played in Holland and Belgium. In 1980 Hans arranged that they could play for a local radio-station and he used the recordings of that program to introduce the band to a childrens TV-contest. It was only for children so Nous'che, Stochelo and Rino were the only members of the band that were allowed to play there. People loved what they were doing and they won the first price.

After that Nous'che and Stochelo sometimes played in churches. A recordcompany was interested in those little boys and offered a contract. But, being members of their church, the kids were not allowed to play for the "common" world. The only thing that Hans could achieve with the family was that the boys would play one track on a record that was made for the jubilee of the local radiostation. That was in fact the first recording of Stochelo and Nous'che ( a collector's item!!!!). From that day on till 1989 they only played in churches and gipsy camps all over Europe. In that time Nonnie started playing with his little brother and cousin. Hans Meelen often joined them on those trips. The boys became very famous but only in the gipsy-community.
