Making good on a promise: the review of Ge vindt wel een Taal

Last Easter, the Dutch Stichting Draailier en Doedelzak celebrated their 40th anniversary with a special workshop weekend. During that weekend Lies Sommer (Datura, Kelten zonder Grenzen, Ball Noir (FB), Idun’s Apples (FB)) and Wouter Kuyper (Wouter en de Draak, Gheselscap Goet ende Fyn, Laroux, Androneda, BmB) presented: How to fly your drone. A book containing over 70 pages of sheet music for hurdy gurdy and bagpipes. It contains a lot of old classics and six new compositions that Lies Sommer and Wouter Kuyper wrote especially for this occasion and can be acquired through the Stichting Draailier en Doedelzak.

Inspired by this special project I started to listen to some of Wouter’s earlier work. The two beautiful CD’s of Wouter en de Draak I have and the wonderful Belgium-Dutch balfolk project called BmB. It was at that moment that I realised I never wrote a review about the beautiful BmB album although I promised I would. So it’s high time we make good on this promise I made four years ago:

A full review of Ge vindt wel een taal

An album that has lost none of its magic ever since its release!

Monthly Markers May 2025:

It is (well, it was…) the 1st of May which means two brand new Monthly Markers for this month!

Band no. 1: Stringflip (DK/SE)
Song: Gådevisen, The Riddle

Cover: Stringflip-Antics

On this new studio album Antics, the quartet explores new sides of itself, when Sofie Bollen’s singing voice, for example, is allowed to unfold with the two traditional Danish classics: “Gådevisen” and “Tit er jeg glad” by Carl Nielsen.

Band no. 2: Sielue, Janne Posti (FI)
Song: Ensilumi

Cover: Sielue-

Askel tyhjyyteen (‘A Step Into Emptiness’, release 23/05/2025), the debut album from Sielue, is a haunting meditation on solitude, mortality, and the sacred stillness of northeastern Finland. Led by Janne Posti (Häxkapell, Sons of Crom), Sielue’s music blends dark acoustic folk with field recordings, minimalistic melodies, and a reverence for nature’s mysteries.

We’ll play these songs 5 to 6 times a day for a full month on our radio station and of course, they will be in our special CeltCast – Monthly Markers Spotify list! Hopefully, you will love these beautiful songs as much as our team!

Like every Monthly Marker, these songs have the chance to win a CeltCast Fantasy Award during our show in February 2026 for ‘Best Monthly Marker’!
