"Saints and Sinners", performed by Litha (www.lithamusic.com) at the Institute of Musical Traditions (www.imtfolk.org), Rockville, Maryland, USA on April 8, 2013.
Written by David Francey.
In June 2006, four renowned and award winning musicians from Europe - two from Scotland and two from Germany - met at a music festival in southern England. Singer and bouzouki player Aaron Jones from the Old Blind Dogs, four-time All-Ireland Fiddle Champion Claire Mann, plus Gudrun Walther (vocals, fiddle accordion) and Juergen Treyz (guitar, vocals) of the German Celtic band Cara played together between sets at the festival.
From the spontaneous music sessions at the festival they created the joint project '2Duos' and between April 2008 and November 2011 they toured extensively in Germany, USA, United Kingdom and Holland. Their passion, experience and musicality have proven to be a huge success with both audiences and promoters. Their debut album, Until the Cows Come Home has received great critical acclaim since its release in 2009 and is a favorite album of many dedicated music lovers.
In June 2011 - five years after their first meeting - this highly original musical combination decided that the time had come to, "...give the child a proper name!" And so, the end of 'the project' and the birth of 'Litha' came and an exciting new CD 'Dancing Of The Light'. 'Litha' - an Anglo-Saxon word - represents the season of light, festivals and music, the time when Litha first met.
