France, a land with a huge folk scene. A land that gave us folk legends like Alan Stivell, Dan ar Braz, and Tri Yann. A land that hosts one of the biggest folk festivals: Le Festival Interceltique de Lorient. A land with a folk scene so interlocked in their culture that it even appears in mainstream music.
Sadly up till now, not that many French bands have reached the CeltCast headquarters, but luckily one has now, and what a special album it is! Grumpy O Sheep is a folk duo that mixes Irish folk, Spanish fury, and the French ‘joie de vivre’ together in a unique style. Their debut album East of Talisker will give you enough energy to last you a whole week. Want to know more? Just follow the link and you will!
