At CeltCast we do not only follow the Pagan / fantasy folk scene and their festivals. We also like to go to Viking markets, Balfolk nights, medieval gatherings and even ‘normal’ festivals if they happen to be interesting. 😉 It was in the medieval scene were we found the band Datura medieval music . Since their origins in 2006 they have been making quite a name for themselves. Giving wonderful performances at many medieval gatherings or demonstrations. In 2012 Lies , Ces , Tom and Nynke released the album ‘Alpha et Omega’, followed in 2016 by ‘Gratus et Optatus’.

With Castlefest announcing that Datura will perform on the Medieval Field (Datura | Castlefest 2018) , we felt it was high time to introduce this band of lovely talented people to the whole folk world. Welcome in the medieval world of Datura’s ‘Gratus et Optatus’!
