Magical String Ensemble/font

About Me

A groovy accoustic string quartet from Zurich, Switzerland, blending Folk, Rock'n'Roll, Blues and Reggae with a Celtic Flavour. Founded in Summer 05', gigs at various venues, galleries and weddings in and around Zurich. As a bakerman once said: "The shortbread cookies are rolled and flattened. The recipe calls for the dough to be cut into stars. With a sprinkle of coloured sugar they look very festive indeed."
