IT’S OCTOBER!
And that means two things…

First, it’s time for a new Monthly Marker, and this month we chose Songleikr’s Hei Skål. This newly formed formation of well known Folk heroes has recently released their first album “Godtfolk” and we at CeltCast fell in love with it from the moment we heard the first tunes!

Even people that don’t speak any Norwegian will often know one word, skål, and so it’s not a surprise that this song is a song of celebration! Which brings us to the second part…

October is also the month that CeltCast started broadcasting, on the 24th to be exact, so this month we will celebrate our second birthday! We are working on some ideas on how to celebrate with you, stand by for updates on that. If you have any ideas, they are of course also very welcome!

PS: See that beautiful lady on the right side of this picture? That’s Ingrid Galadriel, and today is also her birthday! So from all of us here at CeltCast: Gratulerer med dagen Ingrid! Skål!!!

NEW MONTH, SO A NEW MARKER!

(Yes, I know the month started yesterday. We’ve been playing the song since then, just hadn’t gotten around to making this message, sorry) 😉

All through September we will play the lovely song “Freya” from OMNIA’s freshly produced album “Prayer” five to six times a day. We hope you’ll enjoy it as much as we do, and let your feet be guided by these amazing melodies and rhythms because with music like this we’re certain that a dance a day will keep the darkness away!

With a new month comes a new Monthly Marker. Please enjoy Twilight by SeeD Pagan Folk five to six times a day throughout August!

As a large part of the European Folk scene is currently vibrating with anticipation for Castlefest, so are we very much looking forward to this homecoming. And we have chosen a Marker to go along with that! Not only is the band SeeD almost synonymous with the feel of the summer festivals, avid followers of CeltCast may remember that they released their album Portal to Elfland at Castlefest last year, and that CeltCast was fortunate enough to be able to give one copy of this gorgeous album to a lucky winner. So join us in our festival vibes with this amazing song from this amazing band!

A NEW MONTHLY MARKER…

And actually one that hasn’t even been officially released yet! Our new Monthly Marker is Chêne Blanc, by the lovely Emian. This song features on their upcoming album Khymeia, to be released in a few weeks.

To the ear, this song is a celebration of everything that is good and amazing about Paganfolk of today, and the “Pagan” is accented by a very famous chant, originally written by Zsuzsanna Budapest, incorporated seamlessly into the track.

MONTHLY MARKER

Time flies when you’re having festivals…er…fun I mean 😉 and so we have arrived at a new month. Our choice for this month’s Marker is “A Trip to the Islands” by Nadia Birkenstock.

This dream of a harp song is the opening track of her album “The Enchanted Lake”, which she recorded in 2011 together with Mick Fitzgerald as narrator for the stories on this fairytale-like album. Unfortunately Mick passed away recently, so this recording is extra special to all those involved. We will always have his great voice with lovely Irish accent to listen to…

We hope you will enjoy these soothing sounds as much as we do, and maybe join us in raising a glass to Mick!
