abstract	Trudy van den Berg, better known by her stage name Saskia, is a Dutch singer who, together with singer Serge, represented the Netherlands in the Eurovision Song Contest 1971 in Dublin, Ireland with the song Tijd, which finished in sixth place. Van den Berg and Schaap first attracted attention when, as Trudy & Ruud, they won a talent contest organised by singer Max van Praag in 1967. The couple married in 1969 and changed their professional name to Saskia & Serge, as their gentle, folksy style began to attract favourable attention. After releasing several folk-themed albums to a largely indifferent response, Saskia & Serge changed direction in 1976 by releasing a successful country music-style album, "We'll Give You Everything", the title track from which was a top 10 hit. The album got them noticed outside the Netherlands, and they became the first Dutch artists to appear at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville. Further hit singles followed, including "Mama, He's a Soldier Now" which became their biggest hit, peaking at #6 in 1980. Saskia & Serge have continued to release popular albums of both original material and cover versions. Their fifteenth studio album, "Mooie liedjes", came out in December 2008, consisting of new adaptations of well-known Dutch songs.
