Mooie Ierse muziek en andere stijlen als beschreven in de act omschrijving van de Ierse Swing folkband Unicorn , maar dan aangepast naar keuze zonder zangeres of zonder violiste
John Kuiper en Martien Tijburg zijn de oprichters , de stuwende krachten, inspirators en solide basis van de landelijk bekende swing folkgroep UNICORN welke groep vele stijlen muziek ten gehore brengt (Iers, Blue Grass, Jiddisch, shanties enz).
John neemt in UNICORN ook een deel van de solo zangnummers voor zijn rekening.
Martien en John schromen niet, naast hun grote muziekliefde de band UNICORN, ook af en toe eens een project met zijn tweeen ter hand te nemen of indien gewenst met daarbij of een violiste of een zangeres. .
Daarnaast vormen zij de vaste muzikale begeleiders van het zeemanskoor de Compagniezangers.
Dit kenmerkt de veelzijdigheid van deze 2 rasmuzikanten.
Als zij met zijn drieen optreden doen zij dat onder de naam
“
Just the Three of Us”
Zij zullen hierbij een mix ten gehore brengen van de (Ierse) muziek die zij bij UNICORN spelen aangevuld met (zeemans) muziek uit de diverse genoemde projecten en ook Nederlandstalige liederen speciaal gericht op ouderen/ verzorgingscentra. Ook geschikt voor mobiele optredens, maar wel altijd (licht) versterkt.
De humoristische aankondigingen van John en enthousiasmerende instelling van deze muzikanten verhogen daarbij het plezier bij het publiek nog eens extra

The beautiful ballad 'Ride on' with a starring role for singer Jolanda Traarbach. Beautiful flawless performance brought with feeling and also 'High Germany' had a strong turn singing

With a catchy performance by folk band Unicorn, the 20th anniversary of the Sunday afternoon stage Haarlemmermeer was celebrated. With song and dance in Irish style, the large number of attendees enjoyed themselves immensely.
, Jisp
Together they have a fascinating and extensive repertoire. They are good at Celtic music, klezmer, jigs, Dutch/Flemish folk music, dance tunes and sing-alongs

The well-known North Holland folk band Unicom opened the concert with a heartwarming guest performance. Unicom created atmosphere with Irish folk music through the full sound of John Kuiper's guitar. Martine Nijenhuis' violin playing was virtuoso, as was the clear, flawless voice of singer Jolanda Ttaarbach. Accordionist Martien Tijlburg provided the finishing touch

Before I was already hooked on the fresh folk sound of the four of them, now I'm completely addicted to this group of six. The addition of Martine and Betty brings even more variety to their repertoire. It's wonderful how Betty and Jolanda sing the song 'Cruel sister' together and I got goose bumps when Betty sang 'Motherland'.

Earlier I compared Unicorn with the cream on a glass of Irish coffee, I can now say that it certainly doesn't stop at one glass. With or without coffee, this tastes like whisky from the best distillers. It's amazing to hear how this Dutch set can match not only the atmosphere, but also the quality of a seasoned band from Ireland

The repertoire is very extensive: a mix of Celtic (Irish, Scottish) Dutch/Flemish, Yiddish fiddle, Canadian, Blue Grass, but also Dutch and English shanties and gypsy songs.

Unicorn's second set was the icing on my Irish Coffee. Beautifully sung ballads - with tears rolling down them - alternated with exciting dance music. Martine Nijenhuis' Irish fiddle seemed almost to ignite at times. Rarely have I heard a solo rendition of the song 'Dueling Violins' in which every violin duelling would be superfluous. It was great! But I must not underestimate the quality of the other members of the band. A band that effortlessly remains fascinating throughout the entire evening

Unicorn, which plays mainly Irish and Celtic folk music, klezmer and blue grass, almost had the audience on their feet and received standing ovations

In the Green Church of Lambertschaag, music group Unicorn gave a full evening concert last Saturday. The church wasn't exactly full and that was a pity, because Unicorn deserves better. In 'Star of the Country Down' Unicorn played a fresh four beat. Nice vocals and ditto transmission
, Faralda
All music becomes folk at Unicorn The huge diversity of musical styles is evident.
, Cees
Unicorn, now performing in a four-person line-up, has a richly variegated repertoire.

Last Friday evening there was a smashing performance in the Miente by the band Unicorn from North Holland. The repertoire they brought consisted mainly of Irish and Scottish music. Thanks to the experience, the musical capacities and the contagious enthusiasm of the musicians, this concert was a special event. The varied programme had many highlights.
, Clemens
The variation in cheerful, melodious and sometimes sad ballads was so captivating that the audience often sang along. Unicorn held the audience spellbound. After the last song, the artists received a standing ovation as a token of appreciation token of appreciation. The Cultural Committee of the Miente can look back on a successful evening, Unicorn was a hit.

Last Saturday the concert of Swing-folkband Unicorn with dancegroup Kyra took place in the sold-out Bonisfacius church: an atmospheric event with Irish pub music, jigs and real Riverdance acts
, Hans
It's Unicorn, they can and do anything. The audience stomps, claps, sings and spontaneously dances along. And they always seem to play to a sold-out crowd. A performance by them together grabs you from start to finish, an experience
