Claudia Schwab

CLAUDIA SCHWAB QUARTET

"hypnotically blended voices, accordion, fiddle, bass guitar and restrained percussion creating beautiful, multi-layered atmospherics. [...]

They were restless, contemplative, beautiful. The closest comparison,
in the folk world at least, would be Lau, and that is high praise indeed"

(Gavin McNamara, Downend Folk Club)

CLAUDIA SCHWAB &

HANNAH JAMES

"Schwab’s fiddle and James’ accordion kept reaching for the unexpected and the new. They were restless, contemplative, beautiful." (Gavin McNamara, Downend Folk Club)

Claudia and Hannah had their first yodelling encounter at the Celtic Connections Festival in 2012

Claudia Schwab SOLO

"pretty much unforgettable" (David Kidman, FATEA magazine)

"she makes Yodel music modern and happening" (Eelco Schilder, folkworld)
