Fiddlers Green formed in Erlangen, Germany in 1967, with Peter Worsch, Peter Hesslein, and Dieter Paukert initially drawn to Irish and Scottish folk songs. Their self-titled debut album came out in 1975, featuring the track "Fiddler's Green" that would become their most recognizable song.
They recorded several albums through the late 1970s and 1980s, including "Noon" in 1977, "Bandwagon" in 1981, and "A Place in Time" in 1987. Other songs like "Rose In The Heather" and "Bonnie Ship The Diamond" show their continued engagement with folk material.
The band temporarily disbanded in the 1980s before reuniting in 1990. Their work sometimes touched on political themes, though they remained primarily known for their folk-rock approach rather than as overtly political musicians.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
