Poitin is a Czech band based in Pilsen who play folk music from Ireland, Scotland, Brittany and England-a genre often known as "Celtic" music.
From its initial beginnings in 1997, the original 4-member band has swollen to today's 10:
fiddle(Jaroslav Machacek), accordion(Ladislav Pohorely), whistles and flutes(Eva Susterova and Kristyna Frankova), bodhran(Antonin Muzik), guitar(Jakub Siegl), bouzouki,banjo and whistle(Jan Brabec), harp(Jiri Vysata) and vocals(Neige Pruvost and Jeremy King).
Actually, the above was written about 12 months ago... Neige is now back home in Bordeaux,Kristyna is studying in Prague, Evicka is happily expecting(a result of our trip to Bordeaux), Ladik is overwhelmed by his workload and Tonda is in the middle of unknown life changes.... So, in short, the band looks almost the same as it did back at the beginning, 4 years ago- at least regarding the number of members.
