Biography

Unicorn (www.unicornmuziek.nl ) is a very versatile (swing) folk band
Unicorns’ wide interest in styles of music makes the band hard to define.
Unicorn brings you an exciting and varied program with both traditionals and dance songs as well as more contemporary music. Even though the accent lies heavily (80 %) on Celtic music the band also plays music from many different countries. Variation is something she strongly believes in.
Unicorns’ music is alive, atmospheric, invites you to join in and gives the public the distinct feeling they are part of something special.
Unicorns’ repertory is very extensive: a mix of Celtic (Irish, Scottish), Dutch and Flemish music, Yiddish songs and fiddle music (Klezmer), Canadian and Bluegrass melodies, but even Shanties and Gipsy songs in both Dutch and English and beautiful Pop ballads are a frequently recurring element of her shows.
The well-groomed teamwork and flashing mix of this differentiation in styles guarantee several musical peaks.
An often heard comment is: “with Unicorn you are being surprised time and again, which keeps the listener excited up to the very last minute”!
Thanks to experience, skill discretion, musical capacity and the extremely catching enthusiasm of the musicians, Unicorn will transform each performance into a special occasion.
Because of her flexible disposition and the wide repertory, Unicorn is well able to stand her ground at any event.
The result is that Unicorn can provide a multilayered performance at a wide range of occasions such as receptions weddings (theme), parties, coffee- and luncheon concerts, folk clubs, theatres, festivals, etc.
Unicorn performs het music acoustically (sometimes seconded by midi), but always amplified to the sound level of your choice and possesses her own, professional public adress-installation.
This ensures the natural sound of the band, but also ensures that unicorns’ sound is heard throughout the venue. Unicorn is a true live band; its strength lies in the bringing to life of the music being performed.
Unicorn guarantees a swinging night or an evening of breathtaking performance through her alternating and surprising repertory.
