Dit herinnerde ik me net:-
There was also a third, non-official hitparade, called the "TROS
Top 50", named after the broadcasting company that compiled it.

As would I. I have a small piece of this clip in a Swiss special,
and it looks like the clip Marion mentions, but I would like to
hear if there are more clips known... :)

Now, to complicate things further, my sister (who's 6 years older
and has a clearer memory of 1978 than me - I was just 7 back
then...) reports me that Kate also did a performance for the
televised TROS Top 50 show. This would also have been around the
time she appeared in "Toppop", "Voor de vuist weg" and did the
filming for the Efteling special, in the first week of April 78.
It is obvious we have recovered the Efteling special and the Toppop
appearance, but the "Vuist" and "TROS Top 50" appearances have not
surfaced yet.
The same goes for at least 2 Top of the pops (UK) appearances.
It's an interesting thing, all these "Wuthering heights"
appearances Kate did. Does anyone know (even) more?
