Germany is the biggest country in Europe (if we don’t take into account Russia). Moreover, there is a strong following of bands such as The Pogues, The Men They Couldn’t Hang, Oysterband, etc. As a result, there are a hell of a lot of Celtic Punk and Celtic Rock bands around that country. I have tried to include in this sampler different bands from the usual ones (Fiddler’s Green, Across the Border, The Porters, Mr. Irish Bastard ...). It was a little bit hard, but finally I have found some interesting bands.


Boggin Leprechaun is a band from Nuremberg (Bavaria). This six-piece outfit released an EP in 2007 “The Boggin EP”,and has just released their brand new album, “Within Blood, Stout & Roll”. All the tracks in this sampler are taken from the EP.

De Drangdüwels come from Westerau, in the North of the country. This band is special, since they make a Pogues-influenced music, but they sing in a German dialect called Plattdüütsch (Low German). My favourite song is St. Pauli. I think that it is a song about a football team from Sankt Pauli district in Hamburg.


Discography:


“Hart an Wind” (2003)

“FC. St. Pauli & de Störbeker-Trilogie” (2004)

“Hold Fast” (2004)

Nycromatic are also from the North of Germany, from Lübeck, another Hanseatic city. These 5 guys released one album in 2006, “Green Hills, Red Rivers” and they will release the follow-up in 2009, “Celtic Nights”
