Klaus Pfister

scéalta @ osterfest, interlaken - 25.04.2014

Klaus Pfister, born in Münich, studied the saxophone. While on a lengthy visit to Ireland, he learned to play the Irish flute, tin whistle and the bodhrán. He says he has settled in Sissach, Canton Baselland, but, in reality, his work as a professional musician brings him around Switzerland where he plays with other bands such as Toe for Toe and Bogroad. His love of Irish music provides an easy excuse (leithscéal) to attend the numerous sessions, usually not in Sissach!
