AndreasW---A question!

Around 1983 or 4 a Northern German band (hurdy-gurdys & bagpipe etc.) played on a Public Radio live concert radio show I used to host in Chicago (at the Old Town School of Folk Music.The show was called the Flea Market-- on NPR-National Public Radio. The name of the band was GUTZGAUCH (or something like that). I seem to recall that one of the band members was named Theo Smits. They spoke very little English but were extremely funny (using heavy accented broken English)--- and VERY TALENTED! Could you tell me anything about them? Are they still around? Are recordings of them available! I'm glad I had my wife tape that show for me.
