Monthly Markers December 2025: Hartwin/WÖR

04 Dec

It’s the 1st of December, and that means two brand-new Monthly Markers for this month! Last month, we featured a Belgian artist, and for this final month of the year, we’re staying with our talented southern neighbours.

Band no. 1: Hartwin (BE)
Song: Lighthouse Pt. 2

Cover: Hartwin-This is the Place

This new album was released just a few days ago, on November 28th! You’ll also hear Pavel Souvandjiev (Aerokorda) and Flavia Escartin on this beautiful record.

The trio first came together in the summer of 2023, playing spontaneously around a bonfire in the heart of the Italian mountains during a small festival. In that intimate setting, they connected deeply through the universal language of music and decided to form a trio. Over the past two years, they have toured across Europe, meeting countless kindred spirits who helped inspire the music on this album.

Band no. 2: WÖR (BE)
Song: DG178

Cover: WÖR-Back to the 1780's

This track comes from an older album, Back to the 1780’s, by this stunning band! Earlier this year, WÖR & Kongero were nominated for the Flanders Folk Awards for Best Live Band. And there’s more exciting news: in January 2026, WÖR & Kongero will release a joint album, and we can’t wait!

These two songs will be featured 5–6 times a day throughout December on our radio station. They’re also joining our CeltCast – Monthly Markers Spotify playlist. We hope you’ll enjoy them as much as our team does!

As always, both songs are competing for the CeltCast Fantasy Award “Best Monthly Marker”, which will be announced during our February show! 🌟

The Future of Pagan Folk

07 Oct

The last years a couple of very talented new pagan folk bands have been emerging onto the scene, one of them being a Dutch band that we here at CeltCast have had on our radar for a while now, especially our lovely musical editor Ilona.
In 2024 Laguz released their debut album A View From Down Below. We didn’t do a review of it at the time, but with their debut concert at Historisch Zoetermeer just under their belt, and their second show due on Saturday the 11th of October at Fantasy Fest Rijswijk, it is high time we finally introduce you all to the band Laguz and their lovely music! As always the portal to all this beautiful music is but one click away!
