Editorial commentary:

Under the flag of the buccaneers, the seven French-Swiss pirates of The Old Salt Company took over the Morgarten Fest. Fittingly, this took place on a converted barge on Lake Neuchâtel. Armed with all kinds of funny instruments like violin, bass, acoustic guitar, cajon, a drum with mounted cymbals, a mandolin and a number of smaller instruments, which I unfortunately cannot name, they knew how to entertain. With all their stuff, they stormed the barge and performed their shanties in the middle of the foredeck. Who needs a stage when you can have a whole foredeck! In the evening, they took the small stage again, where they made the boat rock. Also their show interludes and their announcements provided again and again for laughs and their music for proper swing. Dancing, jumping and singing… that was almost sport. They also made the visitors sway, because they had a wooden barrel with them on both days, filled with the finest whiskey, which was poured directly into the people via the tap. Yummy. If you like fine acoustic pirate folk, Irish folk and shanties, you should definitely check out this super friendly band. And leave them a „like“ right away! Ahoy!

Here you can also find the reports of the Morgarten Fest, Friday and Saturday (German content)!
