This sampler features three bands from countries whose samplers were already posted and one band from a new country, Rumania.

BlackPint are from Tre Valli, Ticino (Switzerland). The band was founded in 2005, by 3 ex members of PunkSeck, ivaN, Vito and Jack. After having looked for additional musicians, Laura and Sara joined the band.

The kind of music that the band plays is "Combat Folk Punk", a blend between folk music (usually Irish folk) and punk rock music. The word "combat" is added because of the political lyrics that they sing.

After a while the band began to write their own songs, thanks to the musical experience of the band players.

All the songs from their debut EP are included here, but if you prefer to have it separate with its own original artwork, this is the link. Once you are in the page, you have to click on CLICCA QUI:

Paddy Murphy are from Steyr, Oberösterreich (Austria) .They play traditional Irish Music, blended with rocking, speedy, powerful, tuneful and mystical arrangements.

Folk and rock musicians meet to play an explosive blend of Irish Speed-Powerfolk, Celtic-Folkrock and Dublin Funk Grunge.

Their repertoire is full of songs about the Emerald Island, Irish rebels, the fight for freedom, love and powerful and fast tunes.

The five members, playing fiddle, banjo, mandolin, acoustic guitar, bodhran, drums, bass and electric guitar, make a sound in which traditional Irish songs and tunes, "cooked" with chili & pepper, are turned into party songs.

Demo

BlackBeers are from Oradea (Rumania). Originally, The Blackbeers was set up in August 1999, by Peter Moynahan (vocals, guitar, banjo, mandolin and kazoo) and Zoltan Biro (accordion, bagpipes and whistles). In october 1999, a fiddle player, Tunde Levay, joined them.

2003 was the year of their international debut, when they first got to play in Hungary, Belgium, U.K. and Ireland. At the end of the year a major change took place in their line-up when one of the founders of the band Zoltan Biro left the band and he was replaced by Johnny Doe who plays the whistles, the Irish flute and the bodhran.

In the spring of 2004, they recorded Cuig, their first studio album that was presented at several summer festivals and a pub-tour in October-December. At the end of the tour Johnny left the band and his place was taken by drummer/percussionist Misu Stana.

In 2005 they launched the new Celtic-Rock line-up and presented new lead-guitarist Norbert Scheck. But for the fans of traditional music they will keep an unplugged version as well.

  2. Hi Steven, Thanks again for your heads-ups. As you have noticed, the Killigans and Paddy Murphy videos have been shared after having read your comments. I've written to Franz (Paddy Murphy) and they'll be sending "Coffin Ships" for a review.
    Remember that you can also e-mail your comments, feedback, etc. to celticfolkpunk@gmail.com
