Today violins will be recorded for this gorgeous colleague:
Lisa Rieger, singer of “Hydra”
Website of Rock Violinist Ally Storch
Ally Storch plays Amy Cann’s “Catharsis” (like in a version by Natalie MacMaster).
Drums: Stefan “Huky” Hukriede, Guitar: Phil Kenny (Mario Krapf), Tambourine: Sashia Haiberg and Bass: Steffen “Benny” Haiberg.
A sad supplement after the concerts of “Homebound” and “The Bruce 700”: After Cheyenne Brown, harp player of “Homebound”, returned home, she found her harps stolen from her house in Scotland. So please keep your eyes open for these instruments and spread this information to your music colleagues and traders of instruments! Thank you!
Feels like ages, because the last concert with Irish Folk took place in summer 2012. This music had been the start for Ally as non-classical musician and she was playing for many years in different formations, like “The Sally Gardens”, “Irish Coffée”, “The Dream of Ireland”, “Phil Kenny Band”, “New Folk Compilation”…
On April 23rd all will be again about Irish Folk and with beloved colleagues “from the old times”: Phile Kenny (“Phil Kenny Band”, “Wide Range”), Sashia Haiberg (“Irish Coffée”), Steffen “Benny” Haiberg (“Irish Coffée”, “The Sally Gardens”) and Stefan “Huky” Hukriede (“Tears for Beers”).
Do you remember the last scene of the movie “Braveheart”? “Robert the Bruce” was able to declare Scotland in 1314 as to be independent.
So Allan MacDonald wrote a masterpiece about this historical event for orchestra and traditional Scottish Instruments. On April 9 2016 this piece will be performed for the first time in Germany (Hofheim/Ts.) due to Thomas Zöller, who invited grand names from the Scottish Folk Scene. Added by a few german colleagues, like Ally Storch.
