About Paul Walker & Karen Pfeiffer
With “two grand voices – individually and in harmony” (Folker-German Folk Magazine), the Anglo-
German duo Paul Walker & Karen Pfeiffer offer a versatile miscellany of self-penned and imaginatively
arranged songs, delivered with guitar, woodwind instrumentation and occasional percussion.
“I’ve never seen our audience so spellbound!” (Malc Gurnham, Folk Club promoter)
So, what is it that makes this internationally touring pair so irresistible?
Whilst Paul Walker & Karen Pfeiffer are acclaimed for their image provoking songwriting, expressive
vocals and authentic musicianship, they are frequently recalled for their warmth, humour and their
remarkable ability to engage with their audience. Karen’s natural theatricality and life affirming playful
energy compliment charmingly with Paul’s calm geniality and combined they magically turn a great
performance into a real event. In brief: enchanting, entertaining, uplifting.
“Great show!” (Graham Norton)
Based in Staffordshire in the UK, the duo has toured its shows extensively taking in New Zealand,
Australia, Germany, Ireland and most corners of the UK, wooing audiences with Karen’s southern
German accent tinged with an ‘oatcake induced’ North Staffordshire dialect from Paul’s heritage. Their
latest show ‘Auf Wiedersehen, Me Duck’ was a huge success at this year’s Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
The pandemic has seen them focusing their attention on writing, recording and developing their
online presence. Their live stream ‘Afternoon Tea with Paul & Karen’ is now in excess of 95 shows and
still attracts a dedicated international following. The new album ‘Auf Wiedersehen, Me Duck’ was
released in May 2022 and received a great amount of radio play, video attention and glowing reviews:
"Eclectic, performed with passion and with excellent musicianship." Folk & Honey
"Charming, varied and fun" Irish Music Magazine
Overall, “A first-class experience.” (Bietigheimer Zeitung)
