The Irish have a big heart for conviviality, wit and passion. This energy produces impressive artists time and time again. Around St. Patrick's Day, the heart of the nation beats particularly high when Irish folk enchants the people. And not just the Irish themselves. For 37 years, "Irish Heartbeat" has been bringing traditional and modern sounds to the stage and connecting people around the world in an invisible way. The following artists provide a St. Patrick's Day feeling:

Yann Honoré (One Man Celtic Orchestra)
Breton multi-instrumentalist Yann Honoré plays whistles, cello, electric bass, electric guitar and percussion. A master of loops, he records riffs, layers others on top of them and creates dense, pulsating soundscapes over which he shines as a soloist. His pieces are rooted in Breton, Irish and North African music.

Eva Coyle Band (A Musical Secret from the Emerald Isle)
Singer-songwriter Eva Coyle touches listeners with her extraordinary, gentle yet powerful voice and lends a special magic to her lyrics, which hover between reality and fiction. On the keyboard and accordion, she combines Irish roots with Nordic earthiness. Her quartet sounds unmistakably folky and Irish, but brings danceable, poppy pressure to the stage with drums.

Billow Wood (Old Ireland Meets New Ireland)
The five musicians are diviners who feel out modern and traditional Irish trends and make them audible. With self-written songs on harp, fiddle, tin whistle, bodhrán, accordion, drums and guitar. Their trademark is their outstanding polyphonic singing, which combines Irish folk with modern pop and indie influences.
