With past and present instruments (bagpipes, accordion, violin, saxophone and guitar) they take the audience on a nostalgic trip through history, punctuated with modern-day influences. “A young band reinterpreting old manuscript in a refreshing and new way.” (BBC Radio 2) “They’re all astonishing musicians.” (Huffington Post) “They play classical, they call it folk and the result is rock’n’roll stomping music.” (Radio 1 Belgium)
