Last week's issue of Privé magazine featured a short interview with Marga Scheide conducted by Jan Uriot. The blonde Luv' singer discussed her recent meeting with Dutch record producer Hans van Hemert (see news posted on August 23rd, 2019) and her conflict with him over Luv's name that she trademarked in 1989.

Here's a translation of the interview in English:
Jan Uriot: Have you made up with Hans van Hemert?
Marga Scheide: We are not friends. We saw Hans all of a sudden during our show during Blaricum's funfair. At first, I didn't understand why he was there. If he was so angry at me, why was he in the front row? I later understood the situation. It was a kind of charm offensive. The author of his biography interviewed my Luv' colleague José Hoebee and me for his publication. Hans probably thought: "I'll be nice to the ladies. So they may tell nice things about me". I don't guarantee anything but the concerned persons will read it later. I didn't talk to Hans.
Jan Uriot: Hans consequently accuses you of theft, right?
Marga Scheide: I'm surely not a thieve. Hans knows it too. He forgot that in 1978 there was already a lawsuit about Luv's name. During the hearing it appeared that our manager at the time, Han Meijer, had the idea for the name of the group: Luv'. Han created the girl group, together with Piet Souer and Hans van Hemert. We were not satisfied with Han's work as a manager. After we fired him, he wanted to keep Luv's name and took us to court. Finally, we were allowed to be named Luv' because we had so much success with this name. I kept press clippings about this lawsuit. One headline said: "Luv' remains Luv" (see article posted on June 2nd, 2018).
