Folksänger Gunnar Wiegand

In the artist's words:

Inspiring songs, crackling tension, musical anecdotes and stories of life. Folk songs and folk songs as well as his own pieces in German, adaptations from the American, Irish, Scottish and English folk world, maritime themes, workers' songs - the folk singer sings and plays all of these. With his guitar and his unmistakable voice, he has been heard both at home and internationally on a wide variety of stages. A special feature of his work are his own folk songs as well as authorized translations of folk and sea songs.

In addition to a concert program with German songs, the folk singer also addresses friends of maritime folk music in particular with a collection of songs about life and work at, on and with the sea. But fans of English-language folk songs can also look forward to an extensive repertoire that includes Irish songs as well as songs from the British Isles and North America.
