Bio
....We are not irish – and don't pretend to be......... We play Folkpunk – and we play it "Pokes"-style... With our 2nd album "Poking the fire…" we have proved that Berlin is also a great address for Folkpunk. On many festivals, in pubs + clubs and even offshore we demonstrated how our way of Folkpunk can kick arse. And that will be continued – so look out!.. ..Check www.thepokes.de for more We've got banjo, accordion, acoustic guitar, bass and drums - played by 6 guys with musical backgrounds that couldn't differ more... You can hear and see the fun we had writing those songs and lyrics... .. ....Wir sind keine Iren und wollen auch nicht so tun......... Wir spielen Folkpunk – und zwar "Pokes"-Style!.. Mit unserem zweiten Album "Poking the fire..." haben wir "Pokes" bewiesen, dass Berlin auch für Folk-Punk eine Top-Adresse ist. Auf zahlreichen Festivals, Clubs + Pubs und selbst auf hoher See sind wir bisher unterwegs gewesen um auch live zu zeigen dass man mit Folkpunk richtig abräumen kann. Und es geht natürlich weiter... .. Sechs Herren und eine Dame mit musikalischen Backgrounds, wie sie unterschiedlicher nicht sein könnten, heizen auf akustischen Instrumenten (Banjo, Akkordeon, Gitarre, Bass, Geige, Drums) mächtig ein... Den Spass, den wir beim Schreiben der Songs und der Texte hatten, könnt ihr Euch nun selbst erhören oder gar sehen... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ...... -

Dear friends of celtic-rock,
we're happy to announce our new promotion and networking offer 2011.
Our first goal is to make celtic music visible in Germany and so we search contact to bands, promoters and organisers from all over the world. Our new brochure describes our promotion possibilities and direct contacts to our team members who are responsible for magazine, radiostation, video-channel and our diary of events.
Please find the brochure in an English and German version on our website at:
http://www.celtic-rock.de/kontakt/promotion
It would be terribly nice, if you forward this information to other interested people in your business environment.
Hope you enjoy it and don't hesitate to contact us.
Best wishes
Daniel
