Remember the “2Duos”? Well they are back again but now called “Litha”.
Four renowned and award winning musicians from Europe - two from Scotland and two from Germany - all with a shared passion and love for traditional music. This highly original musical combination has discovered the common ground and kinship between two great traditions and blended them into a new and exciting sound.
Compared to bands like the legendary Planxty, Litha are an equally strong song and tune band.
