The five-legged band, Plunder, originated in the queue for the festival Welcome to the Village, when a couple of musicians from the Academy for Pop Culture decided to work together. This was a wish of frontman Lennart in fulfillment; Start a band that combines folk instruments, music from different cultures. Plunders music with influences of folk, ska, Irish and Balkans, combined with Dutch texts, is best summarized as Pirate Partyfolk. In addition to the drums, bass and guitars for the strong danceable base, the flute and accordion make for the fiery folksound.
Three quarters of a year after their birth, they first went out for a large audience at the Friesian Street Festival. A whole series of beautiful parties follows. In November 2015, in a documentary about the band, Irolt will see how Plunder repeats a number of them to play their last performance the following year. The documentary can be seen on NPO2 and Omrop Fryslân. In 2016, the band next to writing new material is busy performing. For example, the group plays at the opening of Rhino in Leeuwarden and stands at the Pairc Pub in Joure, between names like the Dublin Legends and Fiddlers Green.
Even so, 2017 has been a beautiful year full of new adventures, highlighting a performance at Keltfest and three performances at Castlefest. In the meantime, the band has finalized a first EP.
With the performance of this crowded party of souls, so much energy is released that your festivalweed is guaranteed to be looted!
