The Torfmoorholm utility rockers continue to tour the country in 2024 and celebrate their now 33rd Bagaluten-Wiehnacht in winter in a very traditional & "restless" way! A strong piece of northern Germany. Let's put it this way: if someone had said recently, over fifty-five years ago, that there would be a 47th band anniversary to celebrate at some point and the 33rd Bagaluten-Wiehnacht was coming up, this person would probably have been accused of having had a few too many drinking horns of mead - but wrongly, as it turns out. Crazy story. Rata-ta-zong & zack: The 33rd Bagaluten-Wiehnacht is coming up in winter. The Bagaluten-Wiehnachts idea, which developed due to a lack of Christmas party alternatives, has become a legendary tour event in the 47-year history of the utility rockers from Torfmoorholm. With their consistency, authenticity and joy of playing, they remain true to themselves and their fans even after more than four decades. So that in 2024 they will not only be making musical waves again at BagalutenWiehnacht, but also at individual concerts and festivals with their unique utility rock. The 47 years of live expertise, fresh and rocking arrangements of their unmistakable classics as well as the Torfmoorholm humor make every concert a special experience. The line-up of Torfrock has changed a little over the years. Today, Torfrock is Klaus Büchner, one of the two founding fathers, who once met with Raymond Voß in Hamburg's Ernst-Deutsch-Theater to set texts by Edgar Allan Poe to music. Torfrock started with a crazy idea and Jimi Hendrix became an unlikely tribute: his "Hey Joe" became a hit even with Low German lyrics ("He Jo"), the first for Torfrock in a long line of successors and a hit with which the guitar god Hendrix is still duly honored today. Today, Klaus Büchner (vocals, poems, harmonica and bass flute) is joined by Volker Schmidt (lots of guitars, vocals and harmonica), Stefan Lehmann (drums and vocals) and Sven Berger (bass and vocals), who together give the tried-and-tested Torfrock sound a modern, groovy twist. Torfrock's (fictional) microcosm, which is created by the ludicrous stories from the lives of the inhabitants of Torfmoorholm, the lovable, drink-loving, chaotic Viking troupe from Haithabu and their descendants (Mr. Wernersen is probably one of them), still has an immense appeal to audiences of all ages today. The timeless lyrics, the peaty rock-folk-blues-punk-boogie (in short: utility rock) and the typical Büchner humor allow concertgoers to celebrate a peaceful and cheerful peat rock party together with the band.
