December 27th: Carnival 2018: Click here to read it
In recent years, the former Luv' singer has released songs for the Carnival festivities in the Netherlands ("Ik Wil Knallen" (with Ome Henk in 2006), "Het Leven Is Een Feest" (2010), "Carnavals Party Hitmix" (with Alexin 2012) and "Wat Zijn Ze Lekker" (with Roy Donder in 2017). The diva enjoys being part of the Dutch Carnival circuit.
In her text, she also mentions her ex-Luv' colleagues: "We often toured this circuit and I've never been ashamed of it. Indeed it felt like home. I remember that José didn't want to perform for Carnival and Marga and I tried to convince her to do it. She also refused to party in her hometown Best in Brabant!...Now I record my Carnival hits with Roy Donders in a studio in Best".
Her new Carnival duet with Roy entitled "We zullen de laatsten zijn" is about to come out very soon. Before Christmas, Pat & Roy took part in the filming of a music video for this track.
Tomorrow the duo is supposed to participate in the taping of a music TV show "Hart voor muziek" ("Polonaise") with other artists at Het Witte Huis in Zeeland, NL. But earlier today the media announced the death of Roy's grandfather (soon after the passing of his grandmother). This performance might be cancelled due to this sad news. La Brard offered her condolences to Roy via Twitter and Instagram.

On January 19th, Roy Donders and Patty Brard performed their duet single "Wat zijn ze lekker" for the first time during the taping for the TV show "Polonaise 2017" of "Hart voor Muziek" at the Witte Huis in Zeeland, NL.
The text of this Carnival song is a shining example of double entendre: "Wat zijn ze lekker, wat zijn ze groot. Twintig centimeter, Brabants worstenbrood" ("They taste so good, they are so big. 20 centimeters of Brabants sausage roll").
Roy and Patty came up with this idea for a while. "We've been in touch for a couple of years," La Brard told Dutch local TV channel "Omroep Brabant" before her performance. "Anytime we met, I giggled just because I saw him".
"Since day one we've had lots of fun. It's important to enjoy what you do," Roy explained.
The audience seemed to appreciate their duet. "They even sang along," Patty said.
