The band was formed in 1976 in Göttingen from the Irish folk bands Rakish Paddy and Kith and Kin ' . It was discovered in Göttingen by the folk producer Carsten Linde , who soon helped to make the first long-playing record. The band played German folk songs in unusual instrumentation.

In addition to German texts, they sang in Middle Low German ( Heio ) and played instrumental pieces, especially modern renaissance dances .
