Last year, after Dutch media personality Chimène van Oosterhout joined José Hoebee and Marga Scheide, Luv's presence in the media (in particular the tabloid press and national television) was boosted for several months.
The fans were a little apprehensive about Chimène's recruitment. Would the multitalented TV presenter be able to perform on stage next to her Luv' colleagues who had been doing it for more than forty years? The answer was yes. Chimène rapidly clicked with Marga and José and was accepted by the fan community.
The Luv' ladies were successful when they toured the nostalgia circuit in the Netherlands and Flanders (Belgium) in 2019. The three singers were thankful for the generous people with whom they collaborated: their tour manager, the one and only David Hay Gibson, Brigitte Vis (of Jan Vis Artiesten & Evenementen) and Koen De Smet in charge of their shows in the Netherlands and in Flanders (Belgium) as well as sound technician Charles Olthof.
The group's set list during their shows consisted of eight songs: the classic hits (U.O.Me, You're the Greatest Lover, Trojan Horse, Casanova, Ooh, Yes I Do and My Number One) as well as a medley (Megamix '93). Their last single (With Him Tonight) was added for performances in July and August 2019.

Luv' gave all kinds of performances: private parties, corporate events, gigs in small venues and big festivals. Bookings for shows kept rolling in due to the revival of interest in the trio. Unfortunately, José's illness put an end to them. We wish José a speedy recovery and are grateful for her wonderful input to Luv'.
