Thank you Charlie Gillett!

Charlie Gillet auf BBC 3

After playing our main WOMAD show, we were honoured to be guests of BBC radio-legend Charlie Gillett. For us, a very memorable meeting indeed!

Here’s his radio show (including the songs we played live in a somewhat reduced 8 piece line-up) … and what he later wrote about us..

P.S.: WOMAD

Back again

We’ve just come back from playing in England and Ireland, and are looking forward to play there again next year. A tiny bit more sun would be nice for everyone!

High Tea & Time Travellers

After playing in Kiel and Hamburg at the Schleswig-Holstein Musikfestival (hear hear!), and three concerts in one day at WOMAD, the Village Pump Festival in Trowbridge, plus a short one as guests of Charlie Gillett on the BBC 3 stage … we spend a few days hanging out in Wales; enjoying High Tea, walking the Brecon Beacons, and dining in style! Then we’re off to Waterford in Ireland! P.S.: it is raining …

Bürgerfest in Berlin

Even if it was all too short short: it was good to see you all at the Brandenburg Gate yesterday!
