One of the first Irish trad bands in Switzerland. This record is from 1981 and I just got one of the rare vinyl’s to record it on CD.
The line up is

Felix Meier flute, guit, bombarde, concertina, voc
Christian Jordi

The line up is

Felix Meier whistles, guitar, bombarde, concertina, voc
Christian Jordi fiddle, mand, voc
Roland Gosteli guit, voc
Kaspar Kolb cello, bodhran, flute, voc

Track 4 and 9 are their own compositions, the names are in Swiss German and translate as “The ride with the devil” and "Thursday’s Jig

A lot of very nice arrangements on this record. With the cello and the bombarde it sounds a bit cross over and more modern than expected in 1981.

Christian Jordi plays now eith the group “Drumlin”
