about

PerKelt studio album recorded in Czechia in 2011, in the line-up consisting of:

Paya Lehane (nee Pavlina Bastlova) – recorders, lead vocal, roar
Steppy Honc – cittern, guitar, vocals, roar
Karel Novotny – fidula, viola, roar
Filip Tomanek – djembe, davul, percussion, roar
Matej Stepanek – cello ‘da gamba’, roar
