Gudrun Walther<\/p><\/h1><\/div>

vocals, fiddle, viola, diatonic accordion<\/p><\/h3><\/div>

Gudrun was brought up in a dynasty of fiddlers with Irish, German and French folk music and started to play traditional music on the fiddle at the age of six. Singing is something that Gudrun has been doing all her life. Apparently she sang along to Irish Rebel songs before she could speak the language. Gudrun is one of Germany\u2019s most sought-after and well-respected trad musicians. She won numerous awards with her music and recordings (German Folk Award, German Critics Award), guested on many genre crossing albums (El Houssaine Kili, S\u00f6hne Mannheims, Le Concert Spirituel), performed as a soloist with a big orchestra (Staatsphilharmonie Rheinland-Pfalz) and worked as producer and co-producer in the studio. Her original songs and tunes are an integral part of Cara and some have been covered and recorded by folk bands in the USA and UK. In 2016 she was asked to guest with world-renowned Irish band, T\u00e9ada, filling in for Sligo fiddle master Ois\u00edn MacDiarmada.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

flute, shepherd’s pipes, harmony vocals<\/p><\/h3><\/div>

Steffen was also encouraged to play by his musical parents; as a teenager, he encountered the sound of bagpipes and fell under their spell. Through playing Irish music, he finally discovered the wooden flute, which he not only masterly plays but also builds professionally in his own workshop.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Alongside Gudrun he is also a full-time member of internationally successful quartet “Litha” with Scottish musicians Claire Mann and Aaron Jones, touring all over Europe and the United States of America since 2008.
