The folk band has already played at various festivals including; Magdeburger Irish Folk Festival, Folk for Friends Steinheim, Emsdetten Highland Games and Space Mountain Festival Spain. With powerful songs, enchanting ballads and stirring traditional Celtic tunes, they touch the soul of their audience and give them an energy boost. The duo consists of the experienced frontman of the band The Assassenachs, the Scottish Steve Dewar (vocals, guitar & bodhrán) and the Dutch Lena Dewar (vocals & violin).
