Andy Cutting and Gudrun Walther

Gudrun Walther and Andy Cutting, two exceptional musicians are touring together. In their home countries, both are among the best-known musicians in their genre and have received multiple awards, including the BBC Folk Award and the Irish Music Award.

Their interplay is characterized by empathy and spontaneity. With diatonic accordion, violin, and vocals, they are minimalist in their line-up, yet achieve maximum intensity.

They dispense with the security of fixed arrangements and rehearsed parts. Everything is direct, live, spontaneous, and in the moment. Their music is like a conversation, an exchange of thoughts and feelings. To interact so freely with one another, the musicians must have absolute mastery of their instruments. Yet virtuosity itself is never the focus; it is more like a magical immersion into the wonderland of sounds, with the musicians leading the way with sleepwalking certainty, inviting the audience to join them.
