Tobemore

Sometimes sweet and soothing, many times haunting and stomping, Tobermore’s folktunes and songs have often been said to push listeners straight into rapture 😛

While Gerard’s tasteful chording on the guitar gives every note a certain bittersweet edge, Herco, Rolf and Vincent solidly carry the melodies on Flutes, Whistles, Fiddle, Mandoline, Diatonic accordion and of course the traditional Irish Bodhrán. Excellent singers all, they lift any song to soaring heights with intense multi-vocal harmonies.

Energizing, lyrical and abundant Irish folk tunes and heartfelt old time country songs for you to enjoy even when the gig’s last echo has long since faded.

So that was the official blurb and it’s all true, every flowery word of it….

That said, really, all there is to say is: It’s just plain old good Craic! Come and listen sometime!
