Bands
Matching Ties is an Irish, English and Scottish folk group with members from the Ireland, U.S.A., England and Germany based in southeastern Germany. Their unique blend of traditional Irish/Celtic folk with a modern twist and a touch of American bluegrass and mountain music is their trademark. The core of the band is their duo, which expands to line-ups from permanent members in their trio and quartet to special international guest musicians in their quintet and sextet. Among the best multi-instrumentalists in the European folk scene on stringed instruments, flutes, pipes and percussions, they are also excellent singers and seasoned entertainers. Since 1986 they have performed over 3000 times at every imaginable acoustic and folk music event and venue throughout Europe and in the U.S.A. In addition to their concerts they present Irish Folk Nights in which they accompany world class Irish dancers.
Paul Stowe (USA) & Trevor Morriss (GB) acoustic guitars, mandolin, Irish bouzouki and vocals
The common ties between the respective musical cultures of American Paul Stowe and Englishman Trevor Morriss form the cornerstone of the Matching Ties repertoire. As accomplished stylists in many folk directions, they blend Irish, English, Scottish folk with a touch of bluegrass and country into their own unique mixture. Paul and Trevor founded Matching Ties in 1986, and have since played the incredible sum of some 3000+ concerts together. Well arranged instrumental parts and exact, expressive harmony vocals produce a full, round sound. Spontaneous sketches and clowning loosen up their show, and create a personal atmosphere. Whether they’re playing in a pub or at a festival, for 20 or 2000 listeners, they always manage to steal the show, often over-shadowing larger bands in this style. Years of professional experience has molded these likeable musicians into a perfect team. As virtuosi on their respective instruments, Paul and Trevor have long been a part of the elite circle of musicians in the European acoustic and folk music scenes.

Peter Corbett and Konrad Stock are the regular members of the Matching Ties-Quartet, which performs an increasing amount of the band’s concerts in middle-sized to larger venues and festivals.
Peter Corbett originallyfrom Limerick, Ireland, is one of Europe’s top Irish folk fiddlers. His wide knowledge and repertoire of Irish and Celtic folk expands the musical possibilities of the band. Having grown up in the heart of the Irish folk boom, he is a virtual walking encyclopedia of Irish and Celtic tunes (melodies) and songs. His playing is virtuous and authentic, adding rhythmic support with long-bowing and “shuffling” techniques on violin.
Konrad Stock a veteran of the folk music scene from Munich, Germany joins Paul, Trevor and Peter on bodhrán (Irish drum), tin and low whistles, and Scottish Highland bagpipes, washboard kit and various percussions. His main duties are to keep the rhythm on the bodhrán (Irish drum), but he is also an accomplished tin and low whistle player and (bag-)piper, and ushers the crowd in with a set of Scottish bagpipe tunes, or picks up the whistles to play duets and trio with Peter on tune sets or ballads.
