SHAMROCK CLASH
In dieser Kombination hat es in Deutschland bislang noch nie ein Festival gegeben: Das Gipfeltreffen der europäischen Folk-Rock-Punk Ikonen! Fiddler’s Green treffen auf die Shootingstars aus Münster Mr. Irish Bastard und die Irischen Protagonisten Blood Or Whiskey. Ab der ersten Minute wird kein T-Shirt trocken bleiben können – Ein Muss für alle die der Meinung sind, die Misfits hätten mit den Dubliners fusionieren müssen! - Während andere Anfang April noch mit der Frühjahrsmüdigkeit kämpfen geben diese drei Bands maximal Gas um fulminant in die neue Festivalsaison starten zu können!

FIDDLER'S GREEN

Would you think it is possible to gig around incessantly in the country for years, pouring a tasty cocktail of Irish folk music, reggae, ska and punky Polka and spilling pints of Guinness in the process?
Yes, it is! Fiddler's Green have been around for 17 years now and they prove to be experts in this field more than ever before. And there is more to come: DRIVE ME MAD! is due for release and going to rock your cosy homes. A perfect evidence to justify their reputation as Germany's most exiting folk rock act. Turn up your stereo and forget about spring fatigue!

BLOOD OR WHISKEY

Mixing traditional Irish music with Punk Rock, Blood Or Whiskey formed in 1994 and are widely regarded as the first post - Pogues band to do so, pre-dating the current worldwide trend of Plastic Paddy Irish-infused Punk Rock. Having spent the first eight years of their existence playing every venue in Ireland, the UK and Scotland while perfecting their own unique sound, Blood or Whiskey set their sights outside the Emerald Isle and during 2004 - 2006 performed six tours in the U.S. and much of Europe.

MR. IRISH BASTARD
www.mririshbastard.de
Irishman Mr. Irish Bastard, or that f@@@ing bastard, as he is fondly known to friend and foe alike, writes drink-drenched songs that capture the spirit of the country and the raw energy of his punk roots. It's rough, it's dirty and it's straight from the heart. The boys and girl have released "St. Mary´s school of drinking" and now be prepared for "Bastard Brotherhodd" which will be out in February 2008. The band is now going to hit the road, drink, party, be obscene and are going to get into some probably.
