According to Easybookings.nl and JB Productions (Dutch talent agencies), Bonnie St Claire & José Hoebee can be booked for live performances (public shows, festivals, corporate events, private gigs...). In the mid 1980s, the ladies formed a duo called "Bonnie & José". They covered ABBA's songs in Dutch and scored two Top 40 hits: "Cassandra" and the legendary "Zoals Vrienden Doen" (The Way Old Friends Do). In 1985, the singers were part of the cast of "ABBAcadabra", a TV musical which aired on TROS channel and they also released an album entitled "Herrinerring" (which featured cover versions of the "Swedish Fab Four" produced by Will Hoebee). They appeared on many TV shows (including "Nederland Muziekland", "Op Volle Touren", "Showbizzquiz" and a special taped in 1986 in Sweden (with a sequence filmed in ABBA's Polar studios in Stockholm). Bonnie & José also toured the Netherlands with their concerts. In 1987, the duo broke up. They reunited briefly in the mid-1990s for the release of a single ('n Engel als jij). Bonnie is one of José's best friend. In late 2004, Miss Hoebee was her witness at her wedding (which was broadcast live on SBS 6). Due to Luv's comeback in the 2000s and Miss St. Claire's own projects, the two artists haven't met often in recent years. But now they want to be back on stage together!!! Their current show is meant to be a flashback to the 80's. Their set list includes their iconic duets as well as their solo hits ("Pierrot", "Dr. Bernard" and "Bonnie Kom Je Buiten Spelen" by Bonnie; "I Will Follow Him" and "Secret Love" by José).
