German band shines at Spraoi in Waterford
BRONKOBEAT with Mayor of Waterford Seamus Ryan
To take part in Spraoi Festival this year, German band Bronkobeat travelled from the Märkischer Kreis region.
The performance formed part of the twinning agreement between County Waterford and Markischer Kreis, which was formed in May 2023.
The band were a fantastic addition to the vibrant programme of events on offer over the Bank Holiday weekend.
Founded in 2011, The five-person band is comprised of Jens on guitar, Carsten on bass and vocals, Micro on drums, Jan on the saxophone and Jörg on vocals and guitar.
Over the course of the weekend the band delivered energetic performances on stages in The Cultural Quarter, The Apple Market & The Churchyard.
Bronkobeats created a fantastic, fun-filled atmosphere at each gig performing songs from Tom Robinson, John Mellencamp, and Fisher Z, as well as favourites from Tom Petty, Thin Lizzy, HIM, Whitesnake, Foo Fighters, and many more, bringing their own interpretation and freshness to the familiar tracks.
The group enhanced what was a super weekend of performances by Spraoi.
