Kenny's Swiss Side

miércoles, 6 de junio de 2018


Kenny's Swiss Side is a project born from the idea and the desire to form a band mixing rock with elements of traditional Irish and Scottish music. To cope with the musicians' desire to share the energy of such musics as soon as possible, the original repertoire was mainly made up of repetitions of legendary Irish punk rock bands, not hesitating to arrange them with Kenny's sauce (awaiting future compositions), taking advantage of traditional instruments such as the violin (Anders), whistles and bagpipes (Matt) mixing with the rock base of the guitar (Alex), bass (Phil) and battery (PF). The accent of the voice of the Anglo Irish singer Tom helps to feel a little more in the mood! So join us on the occasion of an upcoming concert to drink, or dance on rhythms and energetic melodies with us!

The Midnight


Midnight were formed in 2003, inspired by the magical sound of Blackmore's Night. The choice to be called "Midnight" is not accidental: "midnight" is a metaphor not only of a past time, but also a "mysterious elsewhere" the magic hour of the night for excellence, where fairies and elves dance in the woods, the wizards prepare their spells and the witches gather under a large walnut tree. "Minstrels" thus, offering melodies inspired by celtic, medieval and renaissance sweet ballads but also lively rhythms drawn from popular culture and folk music. All made more attractive from setting and costumes inspired by fantasy. The show intends to make reliving, through musical notes, scenery and costumes, the charm and enchantment of the "fantasy literature" a kind of narration between epic and fantastic, magical and mysterious, where narrated events are set in a time and a world imaginary in the "middle land" the linking ring between a permanent medieval, an improbable future and an alternative universe populated by magical creatures.

"The iron tongue of midnight hath told twelve. 'tis almost fairy time."
(from "A Midsummer Night's Dream” by William Shakespeare).

Irregang


Irregang, in places also the Spielleut Irregang, is a native of Thuringia band from the field of medieval music.

The beginnings of the current four-member band date back to 1999, when band members Felix and Lehnchen met for a theatrical performance. Together with the later band member Dr. Met. Falcinellus they positioned themselves in the genre of medieval rock. In their self-perception, the ensemble members see themselves in the development phase of an independent musical style, which, although resorting to medieval melody and text fragments, but with the arrangement and elements of folk and rock closer to today's listening habits.

The debut album "In the intoxication of the pipes" appeared in the year 2005. In July 2010 followed her second album called "Golias", which was chosen in September of the same year to the CD of the month of the medieval music Internet portal minnesang.com. In October 2010, the music magazine Sonic Seducer reported on the band and also published a review of the new CD. Furthermore, Irregang are represented both on the medieval-facetted sampler of Zillo 2008 [3] and 2010 and also on the "Cold Hands Seduction" Vol.111 is with "Clauso Chronos" one of their songs.

Irregang also perform live on medieval markets and relevant music festivals both in Germany - such as the Falkensteiner Minneturnier at Burg Falkenstein - and in Denmark or France. In the movie "The Beloved Sisters" (2014), the musicians portrayed contemporary musicians in a dance scene under a lime tree and composed the piece "Studentdreider" for them. With the release of the third album "Faulenzia" in August 2017, Maledict left the band, which has since appeared as a trio. The play "Spielmann" was released in 2018 on the sampler Verbünder V, which was also reported in the magazine Karfunkel in the May 2018 issue.

Tan Elleil

lunes, 1 de enero de 2018


Out of the deep forest, majestic beings come forward to meet men. Playful, seductive, sometimes disturbing, these legendary creatures are the result of the work of the company Tan Elleil, which transmits in our way our ancestral memory "(Keltia Magazine)

It is in the Celtic, Scandinavian and Breton imagination that, since 2008, the Coy Tan Elleil draws its inspiration. Mixing with poetry street arts (music, stilts, dances, fire, puppet ...) and crafts, the Company invites you to discover its unique and intriguing universe.
Always accompanied by a music seeming out of forgotten and forgotten ages, the Compagnie Tan Elleil takes you to the tenuous border between dream, reality and immortal legends.

When dance and music mingle,
Sharing fragments of forgotten dreams,
Wild creatures and dreamlike characters
Show themselves to men.
So wake up the old legends.

The Ceili Family


The Ceili Family is on tour-a-loo since 1996. Played small Pubs and Dive bars as well as well-known Open
Air-Festivals...especially all over Germany! The band crossovers a lot. Irish Folk Festivals, Village Fairs or
other occasions. Meets purist legends like the Dubliners, infamous Shane MacGowan or harlequins like
German artist „Honigdieb“ and loads of great blokes of the Irish Folk (Punk) scene: Mr Irish Bastard,
Celtica, Lady Godiva, Jamie Clarke’s Perfect, Paul McKenna Band, The Porters, Kings and Boozers, The
O’Reillys and the Paddyhats, The Shanes, Across the Border, In search of the rose and many more.
Size does not matter when it come to audiences. The Ceili Family does not care if they’re playing in front of
a festival crowd of 2000 people or merely 50 drunks in a smokey Pub. The band is always playing their
hearts out. Presenting their own songs. And classics like „Whiskey in the jar“ or „Dirty Old Town“ from
time to time as well as trash-talking breaking out in laughter...

The Ceili Family celebrates every concert as if it was the last. Or their first...

And they have royal friends! On Tory Island! There’s not a single tree there... There’s not even a rat... But
there is...a King!! Patsy Dan on duty. Welcoming everyone who comes to Tory Island. And wishing a fond
farewell when Tory Ferry leaves again. And there’s always a session going on. And many a song to be sung
in Tory’s Hotel bar...

Check out The Ceili Family’s latest CD! Nine songs written by themselves. After playing the music of Christy
Moore, the Dubliners and the Pogues on „Don’t eat yellow snow!“. And after having one original Ceili
Family tune on „tooraloo“. „Fall Face First“, a story taken from Shane MacGowan’s autobiography, got a
great reception. The guy drinking 27 Gins and 7 pints of Stout leaving the Pub with applause...and falling
face first on the floor outside the Pub. Reviewers like „Shite’n’Onions“ told the Ceili Family to have more
Ceili songs and less cover versions. No problem. „Pure Ceili“ on „TORY KINGS“.

Tory Kings“ is irish-inspired, contemporary music. No messing around. Handmade Irish Entertainment
Folk’n’Roll with no frills! „You cannot tell a good story, without a pack of lies“, Ronnie Drew once said in
a TV show. The Ceili Family tells many a story. About the mutineers ending up in a bay with no Ladies at
all. About devious Courtesans. Elation and devastation. Songs that make you happy, thoughtful and often
thirsty.

Pogues-Gitarrist Philip Chevron wrote about „Tory Kings“:
„Enjoyed listening to the CD, by the way. Always good to see people doing something of their own with the
basic idea we invented!“

Pyrolysis

miércoles, 20 de diciembre de 2017


Pyrolysis [pye-[b]rol[/b]-lis-sis] is a folk band from the heart of the Burgundian countryside, Zaltbommel. With traditional acoustic instruments like violin, accordion, bouzouki and bodhrán, the musicians play original folk songs with a traditional tune here and there. The music is inspired by traditional folk music from different corners of the planet: Irish and Scottish influences are evident, but gypsy, heathen and even Viking influences also present themselves. With a lot of energy and a clear, positive approach, the members dance and jump around the stage singing cheerful songs about the good things in life. 

Since an unannounced musical presence at Keltfest in 2014, Pyrolysis has been in an updraft, playing on large folk festivals throughout the Netherlands, such as Keltfest, Castlefest and the Midwinter Fair. It even led them to be nominated for the "best live band NL/BE" award in the Bastaard Fantasy Awards 2016.

Pyrolysis’ music gives you a feeling of cheer and friendship, letting you forget about your sorrows!
