HANS WELL & WELLBAPPN

In the organizer's words:

HANS WELL & WELLBAPPN

There's nothing better for a little escape after the birth of a second child than loading up the car with instruments and standing on a stage with an older gentleman. After Jonas

and Tabea left their jobs (they were determined to take up a "serious" profession), Sarah Well, eldest daughter of music cabaret artist Hans Well (Biermösl Blosn, Wellbappn), persuaded her father to start a new program. Together with the brilliant dulcimer player and versatile musician Komalé Akakpo, the duo soon became a trio. They will perform together from April 2024. Motto: youth mania and stubbornness of age.

Sarah, violist, saxophonist, accordionist and soprano of the Wellbappn for 10 years, will in future set the designs of lyricist, guitarist and alphorn dilettantist Hans Well to music with the dulcimer virtuoso, bassist and top musician Komalé at "Supervised Singing". The Wellbappn also guarantee politically acute, witty musical cabaret and the best Bavarian satire in their new formation. Well suited for consumption with beer, snacks and wine. Warning! Please consult your doctor or pharmacist before drinking Öttinger, Paulaner and Warsteiner.

SARAH (born 1991) completed her studies after school and

school and a six-month stay in Calcutta, she first completed the

the professionally highly promising course of study "Indology". After completing this subject and a looming Hartz 4 career, she decided to continue her studies in "Intercultural Communication", after which she worked for the Indienhilfe in Herrsching and supervised NGO projects in West Bengal (h@ps://www.indienhilfe-herrsching.de).
On stage, she plays the viola, accordion, saxophone, bass ukulele and shines on the rainmaker. In addition to her young children, she looks after her elderly father on stage, whose lyrics she sets to music. She also sings even more beautifully!

HANS (born 1953) grew up blamelessly as the 9th of 15 children. At the age of 24, he suddenly became infamous for his rewriting of the Bavarian anthem as: Gott mit Dir Du Land der BayWa. After 35 years as the author of Biermösl Blosn, including a job writing lyrics for the Toten Hosen, fate finally condemned him to another family relationship with the Wellbappn, for whose existence he is partly to blame. He plays the guitar, Styrian accordion, alphorn and tuba. He founded Biermösl Blosn 45 years ago with Michael and Christoph Well, and they delighted audiences for 35 years, sometimes with Dieter Hildebrandt, Jörg Hube and Gerhard Polt. Until the end of 2012, Hans Well not only wrote all the Biermösl Blosn's texts, but also wrote joint programs with Gerhard Polt for the Kammerspiele and the Residenztheater. The Biermösl Blosn was loved (in part) or hated (by the Bavarian state government) by audiences and the press, while the Wellbappn were loved all round - except by those who didn't love them.

KOMALÉ (born 1983), a Swabian exile, enjoyed the last years of the Richard Strauss Conservatory to the full and in empty corridors. Since then, he has mainly been on the road as a dulcimer player for all occasions, a vocational school teacher, radio producer, father, publisher and club bully. When no one else is doing it, he also plays guitar, bass and percussion. Does almost everything, but nothing clever. With the Lanzinger Trio, he has already won over the Swabian audience with an affinity for string music and now wants to try it out away from home until his final deportation from Upper Bavaria.
