CeltCast Fantasy Awards 2023/24: The Winners!

The Fantasy Awards Party, with a delightful look back at 2023, is now a fond memory. What a splendid gathering it was, filled with familiar faces in the heart of P60 Amstelveen! 🤩

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all our visitors. Without your presence and voting, there would be no party, and our cherished tradition of organizing this event would not endure.

Munin, Oliver Satyr’s first solo album

Last year, Oliver Satyr released his first solo album Munin, and this beautiful album ended up as a welcome present under our resident reviewer’s Christmas tree.

On Munin, Oliver Satyr brought together a lovely selection of songs he recorded solo, or with the different side projects he has had over the years together with Kati Rán, Paris Paloma, Gina Wetzel and Boris Koller.

Beautifully packed this album is a must have, not only for the fans of Faun or Oliver Satyr, but for everybody who has a warm heart for neo- and paganfolk.

Want to know more about it? Follow this this link and read what our reviewer Cliff made of this beautiful album. Can you judge a album by its cover? The answer to this question is just one click away.
