Andy Cutting and Gudrun Walther

The duo of Walther and Cutting brings together two exceptional musicians for their tour.
In their home countries, both artists are highly regarded within their genre, having received notable honors such as the BBC Folk Award and the Irish Music Award. Their debut album, Conversations, won the German Record Critics' Award (Best List I/2024).

Their interplay is characterized by empathy and spontaneity. With just a diatonic accordion, violin, and vocals, their minimalist setup captivates audiences with its intensity. They embrace the freedom of improvisation, allowing each piece to unfold in real-time without strict arrangements. Their music flows like a conversation, exchanging thoughts and feelings—an essence captured in the title of their critically acclaimed album.

To interact so freely, the musicians must have complete mastery of their instruments. Nevertheless, virtuosity never takes center stage; instead, the focus remains on the joy of musical exploration. Together, they create an immersive soundscape where the musicians navigate with confidence, inviting the audience to accompany them on this musical journey.

'An inspiring, magical and exquisite listen from two of the finest musicians on the European trad scene. The dynamic playing of the fiddle and melodeon is sublime.' ? Songlines (UK)

'Gudrun and Andy have the enviable and quite magical knack of absolutely spellbinding the transfixed audience, which has them wanting more of their amazing music.' ? Folk Wales (UK)

'Two towering musicians at their best.' ? Folk London (UK)

'If there are still people thinking folk music is an exercise in repetition, Conversations will make them change their minds. A highly recommended album for both neophytes of the genre and for long time fans, which proves that music knows no borders.' Bright Young Folk (UK)
