About us
Due to Castlefest and vacation a bit on the late side, but: 1st of August has passed, which means it’s (long) time to reveal two brand-new Monthly Markers! 🎉
Band no. 1: Legiana Collective (NL)
Song: New Things
Taken from their album Te Cantaré, released on 10 July 2026, and available on vinyl, CD, and Bandcamp. This beautiful 8-track collection moves effortlessly from intimate moments to rich full-band arrangements, featuring songs in Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, Dutch, Catalan, and English. Inspired by traditional folk while also addressing themes that resonate today. Every track was recorded live with the full band, capturing the warmth, spontaneity, and energy of their performances.
Band no. 2: Karine Polwart & Pippa Murphy feat. Dave Milligan (GB-SCT)
Song: Silver Tassie
Featured on the album Windblown, released on 5 June 2026. Multi-award-winning musician, writer, and storyteller Karine Polwart joins forces with sound designer and composer Pippa Murphy, with Dave Milligan on piano, to create a deeply moving collection.
The album is a farewell to a cherished Sabal palm at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh, written on the eve of its felling after nearly two centuries of care. It’s a heartfelt reflection on endings, remembrance, and how we might better care for each other and our beautiful, broken world. The album is accompanied by a richly illustrated book featuring Karine’s theatre script and stunning artwork from the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh archives.
🎧 We’ll be playing both songs 4-5 times a day throughout August on CeltCast, and you’ll also find them in our CeltCast Monthly Markers Spotify playlist.
We hope you’ll fall in love with these wonderful songs just as much as we have! ❤️
🏆 As with every Monthly Marker, both songs are eligible for the CeltCast Fantasy Award for Best Monthly Marker, which will be presented during our February show.
Musical Greetings,
