Biography: (From the Beatleweek 2003 Programme)
This group of classically trained musicians play the most unique instruments that are just about as far from the usual Beatleweek back-line of Rickenbacker, Hofner, Gretsch and Ludwig as you could possibly get! As well as the more traditional acoustic guitar and bass, drums, violin and flute, Chantal specialise in playing ancient musical instruments ranging from the Celtic Mandocello, Mediaeval Cornamuse and Krumhorn to the 'Streichpsalter', which looks like a cross between a harp and piano.
Chantal visited the Cavern Club in February where their show was recorded for German television. They also spent a day in the hallowed Abbey Road Studios, where they recorded an album, 'Beatles Strictly Instrumental Vol II', which Chantal will officially launch at their Royal Court concert on Monday.
Chantal's remarkable interpretations of Beatles tunes will certainly be one of the most inspiring and fascinating highlights of the festival. Typically Beatles. Typically Chantal. Chantal are: Michael Hofmann, Dr. Gabriele von der Weiden, Norma Lukoschek, Petra Erdtmann-Weigand, Jeanine Krause, Jan Mischlich, Lilly Palm, Ralf Gauck and Peter Götzmann.
