Welcome to April! As we embark on a new month, we’re excited to unveil not one, but two Monthly Markers—no April Fool’s joke here! 💚💚

Band No. 1: Spilar 🇧🇪

Album cover: Spilar-Vandaag en alle dagen

Album: Vandaag en alle dagen (released 22 March 2024)
Song: Wa Ga Je Gie Doen

The first time I heard this song was in our car, en route to our cabin nestled in the woods. However, our journey was marred by a distressing event—serious water problems plagued us. Unbeknownst to us, water had been seeping through our cabin for four days, culminating in a flood disaster on a personal level. This song resonates deeply with me as it speaks to the larger-scale implications of such threats posed by water for humanity—where do we turn when faced with such dangers?”

Band No. 2: Laguz 🇳🇱

Single cover: Laguz-Lunaria

Song: Lunaria (Single released on the 23 February 2024)

Laguz, a Pagan Folk band hailing from The Netherlands, is currently in the process of crafting their debut album. Excitingly, this release marks their fourth single from the upcoming album! The song ‘Lunaria’ invites you to travel the expanse of a desert through the perspective of a wanderer’s quest for an elusive lover not unlike the Moon: always too many steps ahead.

We’ll play these songs 5 to 6 times a day for a full month on our radio station and of course, they will be in our special CeltCast – Monthly Markers Spotify list! Hopefully, you will love them as much as our team does!

Monthly Marker March 2024: Vilma Talvitie

It’s the 1st of March which means a brand new Monthly Marker for this month!

Band: Vilma Talvitie Music
Song: Helppoo ja ihanaa (Easy and wonderful)
Music & lyrics: Vilma Talvitie
Arrangement: Vilma Talvitie & Sami Zimmermann

Vilma (Finland) released her debut album MISTÄ MIHIN (Whereto) last October through many concerts. We love the story of how one of the Fior members visited one and gave Vilma the advice to contact us. And look how that turned out: we definitely want to spread the word about this amazing and powerful album!

The album was released in Finland, but it was born in Germany and on the road when Talvitie lived a nomadic life in Europe, Asia, and South America before the pandemic. The album includes influences from around the world, but also roots and longing for one’s birthplace in Finland. The theme of the album is movement – when you sleep at night on buses, hang out in railway stations and ports, walk the streets of foreign cities, and end up with people in the middle of mountains, forests, or islands, you inevitably begin to look at things differently than in a steady, stationary lifestyle.

We’ll play this song 5 to 6 times a day for a full month on our radio station and of course, it will be in our special CeltCast – Monthly Markers Spotify list! Hopefully, you will love it as much as our team does!

Musical Greetings,

The CeltCast Radio Team 🎻

Album cover Trobar de Morte - Carpe Noctem

It’s the 1st of February which means a brand new Monthly Marker for this month!

Band: Trobar de Morte🎵
Song: Marie Laveau

On October 31st, Trobar de Morte from Spain released their new album called ‘Carpe Noctem’. 🤩 It is inspired by darkness, paganism, witchcraft, and ancient legends. And, in my opinion, the best album they ever made! Because of that, we chose one song from the album for our February Monthly Marker!

We’ll play this song 5 to 6 times a day for a full month on our radio station and of course, it will be in our special CeltCast – Monthly Markers Spotify list! Hopefully, you will love it as much as our team does! 😍

It’s December which means a brand new Monthly Marker for this month!

Band: The Dubliners & The Pogues
Song: The Irish Rover

Many of the songs we play lament the stories of times long gone, and of the heroes of yore. Sadly, this week, another legend passed on to this realm, and will henceforth be part of the folklore. This is why for the full month of December, we will salute Shane MacGowan with ‘The Irish Rover’ as our monthly marker.

The version we will play 5 to 6 times a day, is a testament to the levels The Pogues had achieved in the Folk scene, underpinned by their collaboration with The Dubliners. We give tribute to all that these heroes have given us, and the energy they will spread for undoubtedly centuries to come.

Party on, Shane!

Of course, it will be in our special CeltCast – Monthly Markers Spotify list too!

Musical Greetings,

The CeltCast Radio Team 🎻
