In 1980 Walter and Geri came to know and love traditional Celtic folk music,
during the Vienna folk festival at Heumarkt.
In the following year, October 1981, whilst listening to a concert by the
Scottish band “Battlefield Band”, the two decided to form a
Celtic folk band.
Originally they named themselves “Tullamore Dew“ but it was
H.C. Artmann, who convinced the band to change the name to that of his favourite
whisky. The slight difference in the writing of the word happened by coincidence....
The highlights of over 25 years on stage were:
countries Germany, Hungary and Slovakia
Ö1, Radio Wien, etc.
