Re: To an Isle in the Water

Bio:

Brisk is a brand new quartet of established musicians in the Belgian folkmusic scene, that focuses on Anglo-Saxon and Breton music. It’s no coincidence that Gunnar Van Hove (Irish flute and whistles) and Jeroen Knapen (guitar) are part of the group. A few years ago they performed as DAOU at Zilleghem Folk, M‘eire Morough, ’t Ey …

Gunnar met the ever sympathetic Wim Moons in the group Moragh. For over 20 years Wim is very much at home in the inland Celtic music scene. He performed as a singer and bodhránplayer with various bands at home and abroad.

Naomi Vercauteren is a specialist in Irish fiddle music and makes the sound complete. She graduated from the Conservatory of Ghent where her thesis elaborated bowing styles in Irish folk music. Along with her charm she also brings sparkling fiddle playing!

This band brings energetic music!
