LUL was a Dutch alternative rock band, originally from Leeuwarden, The Netherlands, although they moved to Amsterdam early in their existence. LUL formed in 1987 when Sytse van Essen and Fritz de Jong, also active in local post-punk powerhouse It Dockumer Lokaeltsje, teamed up with Empee Holwerda and Klaas Schippers. The band decided to move to Amsterdam after just one year. Van Essen decided to stay in Leeuwarden, so the band went on as a three-piece. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Lul">R

Saint Lullus (also known as Lull or Lul, born AD 710 – died 16 October 786) was the first permanent archbishop of Mainz, succeeding Saint Boniface, and first abbot of the Benedictine Hersfeld Abbey. He is historiographically considered the first official sovereign of the Electorate of Mainz.

==Monk to archbishop== Lullus was born in Wessex around AD 710. He was a monk in the Benedictine monastery of Malmesbury Abbey in Wiltshire. His earlier name may have been "Rehdgerus" (possible in a multitude of spellings including Ratkar, Hredgar, Raedgar, etc.). During a pilgrimage to Rome in 737, he met Saint Boniface and decided to join him in his missionary work in northern Germany. In 738, Lullus joined the Benedictine monastery of Fritzlar, founded by Boniface in 732. There, his teacher was abbot Saint Wigbert, who had also come from England.
