Die Iren haben bekanntlich ein großes Herz. Ein Herz voll von Geselligkeit, Witz und Leidenschaft. All das sind ausgezeichnete Voraussetzungen, um ein Land zu sein, das immer wieder beeindruckende Geschichtenerzähler, Tänzer, Sänger und Musiker hervorbringt. Der Herzschlag der irischen Nation erhöht sich immer deutlich rund um die tollen Tage, wenn der St. Patrick’s Day gefeiert wird. Am irischen Nationalfeiertag hat irische Kultur Hochkonjunktur. Insbesondere Irish Folk lässt die Herzen der Iren höher schlagen. Aber nicht nur die der Iren …
„Irish Heartbeat“ ist eine Tour, die die Hand am Puls der irischen Musikszene hat. Es bringt seit 37 Jahren sowohl ihre traditionellen als auch innovativen Elemente auf Tour. Insbesondere rund um den St. Patrick’s Day steigt das Zusammengehörigkeitsgefühlder Iren und ihrer Freunde – egal wo sie sein mögen - ganz besonders stark an. Man spürt die unsichtbaren Bande, wie sie nur Kultur über den Erdball spannenkann. Zu einem authentischen St. Patrick’s Day Feeling gehört aber nicht nur tolle Musik, sondern auch eine typisch dekorierte Halle, irische Speisen und Getränke.
Das Konzert dauert reichlich über drei Stunden und man wird drei abwechslungsreiche und hochkarätige Gruppen aus Irland zu hören bekommen: Yann Honoré, Eva Coyle Band und Billow Wood. Eine lebensfrohe Session mit allen drei Gruppen ist der Höhepunkt zum Abschluss des Festivals.
YANN HONORÉ – One man Celtic orchestra
Der bretonische Multiinstrumentalist Yann Honoré spielt Whistles, Cello, E-Bass, E-Gitarre und Percussion. Er ist ein Meister der Loops. Yann spielt ein Riff, nimmt dieses auf und lässt es in einer Wiederholungsschleife laufen. Dann setzt er weitere Riffs dazu, bis er eine pulsierende und vielschichtige Klanglandschaft aus Loops geschaffen hat. Last but not least wählt er ein Instrument aus, mit dem er sich als Solist an die Spitze dieses orchestralen Klanges begibt und seine Virtuosität ausspielt.
Seine Kompositionen sind sowohl in der bretonischen, irischen aber auch nordafrikanischen traditionellen Musik verwurzelt. Yann hat sich in seiner gut vierzigjährigen Laufbahn in der Bretagne viel Respekt erspielt. So war er unter anderem Gitarrist und Bassist der Celtic Rock Band Glaz, dann Produzent der charismatischen Sängerin Gwennyn und ist auch aktuell Mitglied der traditionellen Band Buzz Buddies. Er wird Eigenkompositionen seines wunderbaren Albums „Autoportrait“ spielen und die Zuschauer als ein „One man Celtic orchestra“ verzaubern.
EVA COYLE & BAND – a musical secret from the Emerald Isle
Die Singer-Songwriterin Eva Coyle aus Athlone besitzt eine Stimme von außergewöhnlichem Timbre – sanft, doch kraftvoll, berührend und zugleich erfrischend. Wie der Morgentau, der sich auf herbstliche Blätter legt und das Licht der aufgehenden Sonne einfängt, kühlt und belebt ihr Gesang die Sinne. Wenn sie ihre Texte ins Mikrofon haucht – eine kunstvolle Balance zwischen Realität und Fiktion – entfaltet sich eine Magie, die das Publikum in ihren Bann zieht.
Besonders eindrucksvoll ist ihr Spiel am Keyboard, mit dem sie ihre Stimme meisterhaft begleitet. Doch sie ist auch eine Akkordeonistin, die bei den Instrumentals so richtig in die Tasten greift. Doch Eva blickt musikalisch über Irlands Grenzen hinaus: Ihre Vorliebe für die skandinavische Folktradition
verleiht manchen Arrangements eine nordische Erdigkeit, die ihre Musik noch facettenreicher macht. Ein Sound, den man nicht mehr loslassen will. Ein Sound der einen nicht loslässt.
Ihr Quartett kreiert einen Klang, der sich anfühlt wie eine wohlige Wärmflasche an kalten Wintertagen – ein Sound, den man an sich drückt und nicht mehr hergeben mag. Stilistisch eher „folky“ als streng traditionell, doch unverkennbar irisch durch den Einsatz von Fiddle und Akkordeon.
Gleichzeitig bringt die Band mit einem Drummer ordentlich Druck auf die Bühne, sodass sich der folkige Sound tanzbar und poppig entfaltet.
Ein Geheimtipp, den man nicht verpassen sollte! Eva Coyle und ihre Band gehören zu den bestgehüteten Geheimnissen der Grünen Insel – noch. Wer sie einmal gehört hat, wird sie nicht vergessen.
BILLOW WOOD – Old Ireland meets new Ireland
Man muss die Vergangenheit gut kennen um die Gegenwart zu verstehen und die Zukunft deuten zu können. Die fünf aus der nordwestlichen Grafschaft Mayo sind musikalische Wünschelrutengänger, die all diese Strömungen unter der kulturellen Oberfläche der grünen Insel ertasten und ans Tageslicht bringen. Ihre Musik ist sowohl modern, hip als auch respektvoll in der irischen Tradition
verwurzelt. Seit über einem Jahrzehnt sind sie auf Tour bzw. Mission: Old Ireland meets new Ireland.
Sie schreiben den überwiegenden Teil ihrer Songs selbst, aber sie interpretieren diese auf traditionellen Instrumenten wie Harfe, Fiddle, Tin Whistle, Bodhrán, Akkordeon. Aber auch Schlagzeug und Gitarre. So haben neue musikalische Ideen trotzdem eine Anbindung an den Sound, den man vom Irish Folk her kennt. Aber auch die Inhalte der Lieder sind am Irland von heute orientiert und an dem, was junge Iren aktuell umtreibt. Das absolute Markenzeichen der „WOODIES“ – wie sie liebevoll ihre Fans nennen –, ist der überragende mehrstimmige Gesang. Eine rein traditionelle Irish Folk Band wird leider dank unseren verkrusteten Medienlandschaft nie einen Hit haben, aber Singer/Songwriter vom Kaliber wie BILLOW WOOD können es mit ihrem teils poppigen, teils Indie-Unterton schaffen.
In Irland sind die „WOODIES“ Jahr für Jahr gern gesehene Gäste beim größten irischen Festival – dem Electric Picknick mit gut 160.000 Besuchern. Das können wir Ihnen in Deutschland zwar nicht bieten, aber die Fans des Irish Heartbeat werden die „Woodies“ feiern, die eine ganz besondere St. Patrick’s Day Stimmung in die Säle zaubern.

Einlass: 19:00 Uhr
The Irish are known for having a big heart. A heart full of sociability, wit, and passion. All of this creates excellent conditions for a country that continually produces impressive storytellers, dancers, singers, and musicians. The heartbeat of the Irish nation clearly increases around the wonderful days when St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated. On the Irish national holiday, Irish culture is at its peak. In particular, Irish Folk makes the hearts of the Irish beat faster. But not just those of the Irish ...
“Irish Heartbeat” is a tour that has its finger on the pulse of the Irish music scene. It has been touring both traditional and innovative elements for 37 years. Especially around St. Patrick’s Day, the sense of togetherness among the Irish and their friends – no matter where they may be – rises particularly strong. One can feel the invisible bonds that only culture can stretch across the globe. An authentic St. Patrick’s Day feeling includes not only great music but also a typically decorated hall, Irish food, and drinks.
The concert lasts just over three hours and you will hear three diverse and top-notch groups from Ireland: Yann Honoré, Eva Coyle Band, and Billow Wood. A lively session with all three groups is the highlight of the festival’s conclusion.
YANN HONORÉ – One man Celtic orchestra
The Breton multi-instrumentalist Yann Honoré plays whistles, cello, electric bass, electric guitar, and percussion. He is a master of loops. Yann plays a riff, records it, and lets it run in a repeating loop. He then adds more riffs until he has created a pulsating and multilayered soundscape of loops. Last but not least, he selects an instrument with which he takes the lead in this orchestral sound and showcases his virtuosity.
His compositions are rooted in Breton, Irish, and even North African traditional music. Yann has gained much respect in his over forty-year career in Brittany. He was, among other things, the guitarist and bassist of the Celtic rock band Glaz, then the producer of the charismatic singer Gwennyn, and is also currently a member of the traditional band Buzz Buddies. He will play original compositions from his wonderful album “Autoportrait” and enchant the audience as a “One man Celtic orchestra”.
EVA COYLE & BAND – a musical secret from the Emerald Isle
Singer-songwriter Eva Coyle from Athlone possesses a voice of exceptional timbre – gentle yet powerful, touching yet refreshing. Like the morning dew that settles on autumn leaves and captures the light of the rising sun, her singing cools and invigorates the senses. When she breathes her lyrics into the microphone – a skillful balance between reality and fiction – a magic unfolds that captivates the audience.
Her keyboard playing, which masterfully accompanies her voice, is particularly impressive. But she is also an accordionist who really gets into the keys during the instrumentals. However, Eva musically looks beyond Ireland’s borders: Her affinity for Scandinavian folk tradition lends certain arrangements a Nordic earthiness, further enhancing the diverse facets of her music. A sound one doesn’t want to let go of. A sound that doesn’t let go.
Her quartet creates a sound that feels like a cozy hot water bottle on cold winter days – a sound that you hold onto and never want to give up. Stylistically more “folky” than strictly traditional, yet unmistakably Irish with the use of fiddle and accordion. At the same time, the band brings considerable energy to the stage with a drummer, so that the folk sound unfolds in a danceable and poppy way.
A hidden gem that shouldn’t be missed! Eva Coyle and her band are among the best-kept secrets of the Emerald Isle – for now. Those who have heard them will not forget them.
BILLOW WOOD – Old Ireland meets new Ireland
One must know the past well to understand the present and interpret the future. The five from the northwestern county of Mayo are musical dowsers who touch all of these currents beneath the cultural surface of the green isle and bring them to light. Their music is both modern and hip, yet respectfully rooted in Irish tradition. For over a decade, they have been on a mission: Old Ireland meets new Ireland.
They write the vast majority of their songs themselves, but they interpret them on traditional instruments such as harp, fiddle, tin whistle, bodhrán, accordion. But also drums and guitar. Thus, new musical ideas still have a connection to the sound known from Irish Folk. The content of the songs is also oriented toward contemporary Ireland and what currently concerns young Irish people. The absolute hallmark of the “WOODIES” – as they lovingly call their fans – is the outstanding harmonized vocals. Unfortunately, a purely traditional Irish folk band will never have a hit thanks to our rigid media landscape, but singer/songwriters of the caliber of BILLOW WOOD can succeed with their partly poppy, partly indie undertone.
In Ireland, the “WOODIES” are welcomed guests year after year at the largest Irish festival – the Electric Picnic with around 160,000 visitors. While we cannot offer you that in Germany, the fans of Irish Heartbeat will celebrate the “Woodies,” who will conjure a very special St. Patrick’s Day atmosphere in the halls.
