The year is nearly over, so it's time to choose the best recordings of the year.
This year I have made some changes.
1) Three CDs can be won. A draw will decide the 3 winners.
2) I have decided to include some albums that were released at the end of 2010. Even if they were released in 2010, I think that we can consider them as 2011 releases. Besides, they were not voted in any top ten list last year.
3) There are two categories: albums and EPs. The second category covers mini-albums, EPs and/or demos.
4) For the full albums, the list will be a Top Ten
5) For the EPs, the list will be a Top Five
6) You have to send a full Top Ten list and a full Top Five list. E-mails voting only one album will not be valid.
7) The deadline is 31 December 2011. The list will be posted at the beginning of January 2012.
You can pick your list from the following albums and EPs. Remember that you can include any other Celtic punk or Celtic rock recording that has been released in 2011 even if it is not listed below.
Please send your list of the best recordings of 2011 to the following e-mail:
