Reggy was the lead singer in a number of traditional Indonesian songs like Ole Sio and Kekasih Ku. Jane sang lead in Bring It On Home To Me. Jos Van Vliet, earlier president for THE CRAZY ROCKERS fan club and now Press Manager with Negram/Delta records invited them to the studio and the result was the beautiful album ‘East & West’, on which Andy excelled in 5 wonderful ballads like Unchained Melody, Maria and Danny Boy. They appeared with big success during July and August and their opening acts were the well known ZZ EN DE MASKERS and ANDY STARR & THE STRIPES.
Although they hadn’t played in Holland for years their fans came from all over the country and had to cue for the entrance well in advance, watching the sharp dressed band members arriving in their big limousines. In 1965 they were invited to perform in the best known dancing of the Netherlands the posh Palais de Danse in Scheveningen( the seaside village of The Hague). This LP contained mainly covers because the repertoire had to be adapted more and more to due the pending trend of that period. In this formation they recorded end of 1964 a live LP as well as a number of singes of which Hello Caterina was one of the better own compositions. He would have preferred to continue as THE TIELMAN BAND. Together with Hans Bax and Robby Latupeirisa coming from the broken up legendary Indo-Rock group THE JAVALINS started touring again in Germany again under the name THE TIELMAN BROTHERS, despite the fact that Andy himself had problems with this name. Robby Latupeirisa( bass guitar, 6 string bass) Reggy Tielman( 2nd lead guitar, 6 string bass, vocals) Because of disagreements Ponthon left THE TIELMAN BROTHERS played for some time with hs own band TIELMAN ROYAL and after that he went back to Indonesia where he stayed until his decease in April 2000. During 1964 Franky Luyten and Alfons Faverey were drafted for the Dutch military service. Unfortunately no records were made during they stay of Alfons in the band. Together with Alfons they did a tour in Israel. Framus and Vox made prototypes of a 9 string guitar, probable influenced by Andy and almost all Indo- Rock bands in Germany followed Andy’s conversion of their lead guitars, Fender Jazzmasters of course. The rumour goes that an employee of Fender came to the Sputnik to watch Andy’s unique guitar. He put 4 extra banjo strings on his Jazzmaster and with this 10 string guitar he could achieve very special effects and a big sound. Nevertheless Andy created a real innovation in the guitar world. The guitar playing was less good and Andy concentrated even more on his vocals. His band THE STRANGERS had split and he would remain with the band after the return of Andy. As replacement Alfons Faverey joined THE TIELMAN BROTHERS.
His arm was put in plaster and his recovery lasted many months. Reggy recovered after 2 weeks, but Andy was for 4 days in coma and his arm was broken at 8 spots. In 1963 Andy and Reggy Tielman were involved with a severe car accident and came under a freight truck.
