The Wäckerschwend is well-known even in Valais. Bernhard "Bänz" Fiechter welcomed guests from all over to his parents' house, which had been converted into a concert venue. Here, on the border between Emmental and Oberaargau, the Bernese dialect scene flourished in the 1990s – and the Wäck with it. Polo, Sina, and the rest are no longer filling venues, and even the busy Fiechter is getting on in years.
