Fiddler’s Green is a German ‘Irish Independent Speedfolk’ band. Mixing traditional Irish/Scottish tunes with punk, rock, reggae and ska elements they earned an excellent reputation as a live act.

The band was formed in 1990. Their first concert under the name of Fiddlers Green was at the Newcomer-Festival in Erlangen in November 1990, where the band came second. The first album, entitled "Fiddler's Green", was released in 1992, and was a mixture of live and studio tracks and of traditional and self-written songs. It was released on their own label, Deaf Shepherd Recordings. The band has been signed to a major label, but chose to go back to being independent.

Fiddler's Green has kept up the mix of traditional Irish or Scottish songs and self-written tracks, though the self-written tracks have progressively become less and less folky. The band's influences are wide and varied, but obviously heavily influenced by Celtic rock bands like The Pogues, The Waterboys and Great Big Sea. Recent albums also see a clear influence from Gothic rock bands like Nine Inch Nails. Having enjoyed growing success in and around Germany, the band reached 1000 played concerts in 2004 (the only band member to play them all is bass player, Rainer Schulz), which was celebrated with a concert at Castle Hoheneck. This concert was filmed and released on two DVDs: "Celebrate!" and "Jubilate!" The concert saw participation from former band members and other guest musicians. Main lyric and music writer Peter Pathos left the band in summer 2006 and was replaced by Patrick 'Pat' Prziwara.

The band consists of:

Ralf ‘Albi’ Albers - Guitar, vocals, mandola
Tobi Heindl (Tobias Anton Heindl) - Fiddle
Rainer Schulz - Bass
Stefan Klug - Accordion, bodhrán
Frank Jooss - Drums, percussion
Patrick ‘Pat’ Prziwara - Guitar, vocals

Former members:

Eric Obst (1990 - 1995) - Drums
Wolfram Kellner (1995 - 2000) -Drums
