	Band was from Bremen, & led by Ingo Höricht and Hans Kumfert. The 2nd album is a real instrumental gem, but the 1st album was apparently not so good. It was recorded at Lamplight Music Studios, Hamburg in 1981 and although I haven't heard it myself, it has been stated to be "purely ordinary folk", and contained some covers too - all this being sung in English by a female vocalist (Bettina Gutte). Songs covered included Jim Croce's 'Time In A Bottle', Supertramp's 'Two Of Us', and there was also a reworked version of Steve Hackett's 'Hands Of The Priestess' . Only 'Tsamadou' was actually released on the Eulenspiegel label (EULP 10320). 'Winterserenade' was privately released (ORP 5/85) & recorded at Redhouse-Tonstudio, Hemmelte - not far from Bremen. Ingo Höricht now has two bands Mellow Melange and Schné Ensemble, and also has his own website http://www.ingo-hoericht.de/ The only band pic I found isn't brilliant by any means: Bettter than nothing I guess.
