More Maids are probably the most exciting new development in the German-Irish folk scene at the moment.
What started off as a one-off gig at the 25th Harlekinade in Ludwigshafen in 1994, playing support to the Poozies, has evolved into a well established band. The More Maids have been playing in their current trio format: Barbara Steinort, Marion Fluck and Gudrun Walther since 1998. All three are founding members of what has become one of the best bands the scene has to offer.


Riveting harmony singing, rich and sophisticated instrumentals, a unique mixture of charm and dry humour has helped the More Maids gather a following throughout Germany as well as Austria and Italy in a short time.
More Maids embody the very best of folk music: handmade, sensitive, direct; a moving and seductive live experience.

"More Maids have arrived at a stage where their vocal prowess equally matches their impressive instrumental work. The trio sound is compact and concise throughout, equally spacious and tight, hitting targets with maximum efficiency whether belting out a clarion cry in ‘Angry’ or laying down tight tune sets like ‘Brenda’. Gudrun, Barbara and Marion emerge as a choice European neo-Celtic outfit, tight, disciplined, and extremely potent. More Maids are three German Roses that are as sweet as their music sounds."

"Celtic music has long been popular in Germany, which helps explain German groups like the trio More Maids. On "Live", these three women harmonize wonderfully on traditional songs like 'Red Is The Rose' and 'The Cruel Sister', as well as a couple of modern surprises, loke the Indigo Girls' 'Closer To Fine', which sounds just fine accompanied by tin whistle, fiddle and bouzouki. Gudrun Walther, who handles the fiddle or accordian lead on most of the album's five hand-clapping tune sets, could certainly hold her own in any Irish musical setting."
