Sowulo
released their newest single ‘Brego In Breoste’, taken from their upcoming album. The sound is more epic, more Nordic, more Viking Folk than the Celtic Pagan Folk album ‘Sol’, or the ritual Neo-Pagan Folk CD ‘Alvenrad’. It even has vocals!!
So we contacted
Faber Auroch
for an interview so he could tell us all about the single, the new sound, the recording process and the upcoming album. Just follow the link and dive into the spiritual world of Faber and his brainchild Sowulo.
It wouldn’t really be
Zomerfolk
without
Flannery
playing there, right?!
The whole Zomerfolk weekend you will get the chance to party with the men of Flannery! They play twice on Saturday in the Pub and on Sunday they get to throw a different kind of folk rock party on the MainStage at 16.00h!
So if you are up for fun, folk rock and a wild party, be there and party on until you drop!
On Saturday the 15th of June awards-winning Irish Folk band
Altan
takes the
Zomerfolk
stage.
In the mid 80’s singer and fiddler
Mairead Ni Mhaonaigh
teamed up with flute-player Franky Kennedy, they released an album called Altan.
Gradually the duo grew into a band and since they started to preform under the name Altan in 1987, they sold over a million records and played on stages from America to Japan and from Ireland to New Zealand.
In 1994 the band suffered a great loss when foundingmember Franky Kennedy died after being diagnosed with cancer.
Franky Kennedy kept on touring throughout his illness and after a period of mourning the band resumed as requested by Franky before he died.
Altan is primary influenced by tunes and traditional songs in the Irish language from Donegal, moving people aroud the world with sensitive, touching songs and hard-hitting reels and jigs.
In 1996 Altan was the first traditional Irish music group to sign with a major label. Their latest album titled ‘Gap of Dreams’ was released in 2018.
Inspired enough? Want to see it? Be there at Zomerfolk, June 15th, 17.15h MainStage!!!
Zomerfolk
03Jun
Rapalje’s
Zomerfolk
Festival obviously wouldn’t be what it is without the ‘Celtic folk with a difference’ of
Rapalje Celtic Folk Music
. Not only do they organise this entire festival in their own home town, they also will be playing not one, not two, but THREE shows during the weekend!
The band itself needs no introduction, but we do want to invite you all to their performances, which will be at 14:30 and 22:30 CET on Saturday and closing the festival at 19:00 CET on Sunday!
This year we will be traveling quite a bit! In April we were already at the
Mittelalterlich Phantasie Spectaculum
in Dortmund, in July we will travel to the UK for
Fantasy Forest
, and then, after we had many amazing summer festivals in Holland, we will go to Germany again!
