Chucky Deely

• Chuck Deely, nicknamed Neil Young of The Hague, was born in 1954 in Detroit, Michigan. He left home at a young age and lived in Germany and Spain before coming to the Netherlands.
  
• For two decades the popular American street musician sat singing and playing his guitar at the Grote Marktstraat in the city center of The Hague or at the train station. He played covers from the Rolling Stones, Neil Young and Bob Dylan as well as his own work. His anthem was ‘Rockin’ in the free world’.
• In 2008 the mayor of The Hague grated Chuck with a ‘permit for life’ after a police officer gave him a ticket for playing in the street without a license. Because Chuck had been playing there for many years, people began to raise money to pay this fine. 
• He passed away at the age of 62.
