With all the talented musicians coming out of Ireland these days, and all the young and energetic bands trying to get to where bands as Lúnasa, Altan, Dervish, Beoga or Gráda already are, you might well ask, why a German band should even try to go professional and tour the world with their own interpretation of Celtic music. Surely this is not going to work out!

And yet, it clearly has. Cara boasts two successful CDs, three American tours, innumerable festivals and concerts, and several awards and nominations. "Folkworld" Magazine voted them as one of the 10 most influential bands of the last decade.

Cara combine their mastery of vocals, piano, fiddle, flute, guitar, bodhrán, uilleann pipes, accordion and concertina with a dry-witted and very entertaining stage presence. Their repertoire blends traditional with their own new compositions. Their name, taken from the Irish, means "friend".

NEWS FLASH! Cara was recently named "Best New Irish Artist" by the Irish Music Association!

Note: the band will be touring as a quartet (Gudrun Walther, Juergen Treyz, Claus Steinort, Rolf Wagels).
