Recordist's notes

This was the second year in a row in which fireworks are forbidden in the Nederlands, allegedly, due to covid-19. With this measure, authorities intend to prevent that people suffer accidents and coming to emergency services to be treated. The previous year, it was possible to hear a few detonations here and there, however, this year people just decided to ignore this measure. Recorded with zoom H8
