Die Companions-Press

A Celtic evening in the Artdomenion ARTigiani
Dancing on Friday the "Companions"
The hallmark of the crossover-Fiddle Band is its traditional, unaffected high-level instrumental music and unknown, yet beautiful songs that only life can write. The band creates a tense atmosphere by using expressive and energetic drums and guitars and keyboards on the one hand combined with a traditional, sometimes classical violin on the other hand.
Poetry and Party - this seems to be the key to success: Through numerous converts and festivals, the Companions are now well established throughout Germany. The musicians can always count on the audience actively taking part in the performance......
The unique sense of companionship is the center of attraction to both old and young people alike.....
Whoever went to one of the concerts is eager to see more of the band, so you can look forward to another striking event with music full of multi-national joie de vivre....

	What the press wrote : forward to page 2
		'Passionate, brimmed over with enthusiasm for music' *"Strings, Fire and Drums"* It is the kind of performance that creates images and shares emotions by means of a musical medium... The "Companions", a name and the beginning of a successful story.
	The Companions promised: "They will definitely dance". Fog is rising. Violins are playing, drums are starting to play - this is how movies about the "Green Island" usually start and so did the performance of the "Companions" on Saturday in the yard of the domain "Schaumburg". ...........Celtic folklore provides for a whole variety of different forms of culture, to run from the "Green Island" Ireland to the rough costs of Brittany. ...........Stirring music that carries you along is followed by pieces embracing a very poetical sound. It all culminates in a dazzling firework display accompanied by an extraordinary show, blisting performance and amazing sound effects. ...........Florentina is playing the violin, Jürgen is playing the guitar and their daughter Marie-Jeanne is playing the keyboard.
		Combining folklore and classic, they once again abided by their unique sound. A first class music event.....

OTZ Greiz 25.07.2001		Irish and Scottish sound with the "Companions" in Zickra .....After a successful opening of the international group in 2001, just returned from the International summer festival in Munster/NRW and the Erfurter Danetzare Folklore Festival, there is no doubt that the musicians will be rocking the house again.
