New CD! And here it is, our new Co Production with our friends from German group Liederjan. The album will be available in our web shop from now on! |
IONTACH would like to wish all of you a very happy and peaceful new year! 2011 will see us performing concerts and workshops throughout Germany. Our Iontach and Liederjan fusion "Lierdertach" will also be active with gigs such as The Folk Baltica Festival in denmark on the agenda. Our diary will also include an Autumn tour in Southern Germany. We look forward to meeting many friends along the way! |
Iontach on Irish Radio! The wellknown Irish singer, guitarist, songwriter and radio presenter Colum Sands did an interview with us at the Folkfrühling-Festival in Venne which was broadcasted last week in his radio show "Folk Club" on BBC Radio Ulster. |
Welcome to the website of Iontach!
Iontach is a word from the Irish language meaning not only wonderful, but also strange… Luckily press reviews at home and abroad have used the former when describing the music of this German and Irish trio! Iontach was formed in 2003. The colourful mixture of emotional harmony singing together with fine arrangements of lively dance music and lyrical melodies has become their trademark. The wide range of instruments they play includes flute, fiddle, uilleann pipes, whistles, concertina, guitar, bouzouki, cello, keyboard and bodhrán. This coupled with their warm, open and humorous stage presentation has resulted in Iontach being one of the most sought after Irish traditional bands in the German scene.
