Concert: Bad Penny


Irish Scottish Christmas


Folk rock full of energy, heart, and sailor’s tales


The band Bad Penny brings the great anthems of Ireland and Scotland to the stage with a North German soul and genuine passion

Irish Scottish Wiehnacht: Where the rugged coast meets the Celtic Highlands Two hours of rousing folk rock full of energy, passion, and sailor’s tales: The band Bad Penny brings the great anthems of Ireland and Scotland to the stage with a North German soul and genuine passion. Timeless traditional songs like “Whiskey in the Jar” and “Loch Lomond” are interwoven with the band’s own gripping original songs: Songs like “Have a Little Faith,” “Connemara,” or the official show anthem “Christmas Soul Won’t Let Him Go” build a sonically powerful bridge between stormy seas, mystical Highlands, and a festive winter atmosphere. The musicians of Bad Penny are true Northmen, raised in traditional captains’ families where Low German was spoken and life revolved around the sea. This rugged, authentic character shapes every note. Their sound combines powerful drums, bass, guitars, accordion, virtuoso violin, and the unmistakable sound of the bagpipes with the distinctive voice of Ola Van Sanders—while impressive video projections take the audience on a visual journey across vast seas and rugged coastal landscapes.

“Irish Scottish Wiehnacht” is more than a concert—it’s a way of life that blends the warmth of a pub, sea spray, and winter magic!
