Kolibri have (finally) been added.  Thanks for the recommendation!  BTW I couldn't find a better picture so I used yours.

Band was from Bremen, & led by Ingo Höricht and Hans Kumfert. The 2nd album is a real instrumental gem, but the 1st album was apparently not so good.  It was recorded at Lamplight Music Studios, Hamburg in 1981 and although I haven't heard it myself, it has been stated to be "purely ordinary folk", and contained some covers too - all this being sung in English by a female vocalist (Bettina Gutte). Songs covered included Jim Croce's 'Time In A Bottle', Supertramp's 'Two Of Us', and there was also a reworked version of Steve Hackett's 'Hands Of The Priestess' .
 
Only 'Tsamadou' was actually released on the Eulenspiegel label  (EULP 10320).
'Winterserenade' was privately released  (ORP 5/85) & recorded at Redhouse-Tonstudio, Hemmelte - not far from Bremen.
 
Ingo Höricht now has two bands Mellow Melange and Schné Ensemble, and also has his own website http://www.ingo-hoericht.de/
 
The only band pic I found isn't brilliant by any means:
 
 
Bettter than nothing I guess. Embarrassed
