ELUVEITIE Announce New Violinist

"As hard as farewells can be, new beginnings can be very auspicious are as well," commented ELUVEITIE in a mutual statement. “We are thrilled to introduce to you Meri's successor. We consider ourselves lucky to have found a true master of Celtic Folk fiddling! A full-blooded musician and violin player through and through, she has played countless shows over many years and also played as a session musician for many well-known acts (such as THE HOOTERS, for instance). During the last ten years she further made a name for herself through her engagement with the Irish folk rock bands PADDY GOES TO HOLYHEAD and ACROSS THE BORDER, but also the renowned medieval/classical metal act HAGGARD. Not only a virtuoso of the fiddle, she also plays the 7-stringed violin as well as the cello! So, ladies and gentlemen - please welcome to the ELUVEITIE camp: Nicole Ansperger!"
Added Ansperger:
"Dear ELUVEITIE fans, I am absolutely delighted to be ELUVEITIE’s new violin player. I love ELUVEITIE’s music and have been a fan myself for a long time. Is there anything better than getting to play for the band you love? I am looking forward to many sweat-inducing, incredible shows with you and the band. See you on stage!"
Meri Tadic's final appearance with the group will be at the "ELUVEITIE & Friends III" Festival, which will take place on December 28, 2013 in Frauenfeld, Switzerland.
ELUVEITIE released The Early Years, a collection of re-rerecorded and re-mastered early material, in September of that same year.
