Steampacket - Homecoming

"Homecoming" is the name of the CD that we recorded with Tina Fastje - fiddle, Stephan Schneider-fiddle, Claus Steinort-flute, Andreas Lassak-guitar und Rolf Wagels-bodhrán.

The long anticipated recording features 2 fiddles, flute, guitar and loads of bodhran :-). Steampacket delivers traditional Irish and European tunes mixed with self-penned tunes in the idiom of the Irish tradition.

“Hugely enjoyable, often challenging, other times just plain good fun, Homecoming is an album definitely worth acquiring.”

Geoff Wallis, Irish Music Reviews

“This is top Irish music, as good as you would find it among the best Irish bands. Irish music fans – watch out for this album!”
