The band began its journey in 2003 and has focused on creating its own authorial music right from the start. Following some changes in number of band performers, the group now remains stable, numbering 7 members: Ierlath (bass, voice), Anam (voice, guitar, tin whistle), Joc (keyboards), Evelyn (voice), Morrigan (violin), Aillan (drums, percussions) and Galvin (guitar, voice, accordion). In February 2005 the group begins the recording in the studio. In their first album they wish to present 11 songs, tales of heroism and courage, of joy and sorrow, of question-raising contrasts... The album Panta Rhei is born to the world in september 2006. The band also participates on international music contest Newcomer 2006 in Graz (Austria) where they are really well received by the critics (6th place) and even better by the audience on final concert(4th place). Avven freely seeks its image in folk music of different cultures, thereby creating a mosaic of feelings among listeners...With its youthful friskiness it stares into the future, ever rejoycing in new discoveries...
