About Me |
|
| The Band was formed in the Autumn of 2005, and played its first concert in the Spring of 2006, comprising Gwen plus Andreas Hecht (guitar), Aurel Bantzer (percussion) and David Cohen (bass). Excerpts from that concert can be heard here. Later the band was joined by drummer Cesar Ferreira, and bassist Martin Drees, after David left to pursue his solo projects. Concerts have been well-received so far and shall become more frequent as the process of recording a first studio EP draws to a close. The EP is due to get finished very, very soon...! Meine Songs stellen die Erfahrung des Menschseins in den Vordergrund. Sie sprechen Herz und Seele an, wollen wiedererkannt werden, zur Zuversicht anregen, und - so wie ein winziger Stein der in den großen See geworfen wird - kleine Wellen schlagen. Gwen "...auf eine so angenehme Art eindringlich, dass sich das Herz unversehens und so ganz wie nebenher öffnet. ...Gwen Leo-Allens musik gibt der Vergänglichkeit alles Irdischen einen neuen Klang, und sie geht weit über die englischen Folktraditionen hinaus..." Katrin Dorn (Hamburger Autorin) |
