BFA Goodie-bags
Tomorrow evening our friends of Bastaard will host the second edition of the Fantasy Awards, and CeltCast will of course be there! In fact our very own Arjan is one of the judges 🙂 Will we be seeing you there too? We certainly hope so!

If you don’t have tickets yet, check out their give-away with five(!) goodie-bags filled to the brim:

Just be sure to get your tickets before midnight CET!

And if you really can’t make it, say because it’s a bit too far to travel from the USA or something, then keep an eye out on both our Facebook page and Bastaard’s page! We will keep you updated on who won “Best Photo” and “Best Album”, as well as all of the other categories, as fast as we can!

And who knows, maybe we’ll be able to stream some of the entertainment too 😉


Monthly Markers March 2017: Trolska Polska/Floating Sofa Quartet

It’s the first of the month again, so that means it’s time for a new Monthly Marker! All through February we got to enjoy the beautiful sounds of Jacqueline Helisir, time to move on now! But since she is in Denmark right now, we thought we wouldn’t move very far 😉

We had a very hard time picking a song though, because there is just so much good music there. So we didn’t choose. 😀

All through March you will hear five to six times a day, right after the beautiful jingle by Imbue, first the amazingly festive Krølle Bølle-Polka by Trolska Polska, followed by the very danceable Vill Du Flyga by the Floating Sofa Quartet!

Enjoy!!!

P.S.: Did you know that aside from the fact that they’re both Danish bands there’s another connection between Trolska Polska and the Floating Sofa Quartet?
Not one but two of the members of the latter also play in the former 😉

You can find Trolska Polska here:

Some thoughts while heading home last night

LEAF & Sowulo Concert

As I drive through the old streets of Wervik and the flatlands of Flanders I think back on tonight’s theater show. Contrary to usual, I’m driving in silence, as I don’t want anything to “contaminate” the sounds that are still resonating in my mind and in my heart.

How can I describe it to someone who wasn’t there? How can I convey the warmth and love that Sowulo brought to the room? How can mere words do justice to the depth and power that LEAF official radiated from the stage?

Although I am often moved by beauty in any form I don’t consider myself an overly emotional man. But tonight I just couldn’t hold back the tears, even if I would have wanted to. Both performances were so full of beauty and love that I feel confident in saying that even Bragi himself would have shed a tear or two.

I want to thank everyone involved in making tonight what it was. I’m certain that I will keep the memory of this night locked in my heart for the rest of my days.
Tusen takk!
Arjan
