"A great band! I have had the pleasure of seeing Viola con Padrinos live several times.
Great musician and a great singer who is also very likeable.
This band makes it easy for any sound engineer because they are absolute professionals and more than understand their craft.
I can recommend Viola con Padrinos without hesitation."

Berlin Polo Club from 1906:
"Ms. Viola Woigk performed with her trio Con Padrinos at our gala evening "White Night at the Castle" as part of the annual Start Up Cup at Schlossgut Schönwalde as a live performance.
Both the slow swing music during dinner and the danceable, upbeat swing music electrified our discerning guests so much that they hardly wanted to let the band go. We hope to have Ms. Woigk, who has been hired for the second time this year, with us again next year."
“We Berliners are of course proud that our “White Night at the Castle” was named Polo Party of the Year by the international PACE Polo Magazine.”
