European Alpine roots music played with vigor passion virtuosity and a whole lot of fun

Bagpipes from all over Europe, Irish-Italian mandola, Swedish nyckelharp, jew's-harp, e-bass, saxophone, ... Nearly twenty instruments and four musicians. -

Blending real talent with original compositions drawn from their European roots this band is quite simply excellent .. In the UK in 2008 they played Womad on the BBC R3 stage going out live on Late Junction to an audience who greeted each track with ever greater abandon, then onto Trowbridge competing with Don McClean on the main stage and still got a dedicated following for their set. This following on from already winning over audiences at Towersey Festival Chippenham and Broadstairs.

Without a doubt are poised as a band to make a big international impression for the future ... For dance or concert , fun and musical excellence they're perfect.

Already with an international recognition based on appearances at ...
Germany: TFF Rudolstadt, Tanzhausfest Leipzig / France: Fete de la Vielle Anost / Italy: L'Unita in Friuli tour...

In Austria: Wiener Konzerthaus, Brucknerhaus Linz, Folkfestival Hallein, Bordunfestival Kremsmuenster etc.
