2019-03-21 CELTIC FOLK PUNK AND MORE 2009-2019 - FAREWELL

The Day has come. At the end of 2017 I took a decision. Ten years and goodbye. March 21, 2019, ten years of Celtic Folk Punk and More. Happy moments, sad moments. Ups and downs. I've met a lot of friends and some stupid people too. Times have changed. Things are different and it's time to go.

Everything was explained on a previous post.

I admit that it's difficult to say goodbye. Yeah, it's sad and I'm sad too. But I feel that I've taken the right decision for me. Sorry guys, but I must be egoistic.

I've been posting 23 full concerts the last 23 days. A playlist have been created on the Celtic Folk Punk YouTube channel where you will find those 23 shows and many more:

Full concerts playlist on Youtube

I'll be adding regularly videos to the current playlist on YouTube, Celtic Folk Punk 2019. And if the bands want to send their music, I'll add some songs to the 24/7 streaming radio Celtic Folk Punk on Radionomy too. But the blog is over.

I would like to thank my colleagues, the fans and all the bands that have sent their music to Celtic Folk and More. Particularly, I'd like to thank the following people for their kind words and support: Phil Duckworth (Paddy Rock Radio), John Murphy (Shite'n'Onions), Guillaume Gaguet (Forces Parallèles), Andrew Watts (Spider Mahone), Sören Wittman, Scott Phillips (Paddys Home and Pub Podcast), Gareth Olver (The Celtic Punkcast), Phil Deeds (Colorado Punk Rock Army), Carlos Martínez Trueba, János Peter (Firkin), Bob Youhas (Kilt the Messenger), Jeff Shaw (The Muckers), Gábor Puchreiner (Highland Bastards), Nico Nawo (Celkilt), Pat Westmacott (The Grinning Barretts), Michael X.Rose (The Templars of Doom), John Barron (Clover's Revenge), Bodh'aktan, Leeson O'Keefe (Neck), Robin Hiermer (The Ceili Family), Sean McNally (In for a Penny), M.J.

2019-03-15 FREE DOWNLOADS - CELTIC CURSE

Celtic Curse is a Celtic rock band from Yucca valley, California.

Not formed-but evolved. Celtic Curse has risen from several projects to make it what it is today, and what it will become tomorrow. Hailing from the hills o’ Yucca Valley, Celtic Curse puts together many years of experience to bring you it’s own unique style of Celtic Rock. From the time honored Come out ye Black and Tans to the original Working Man Song, The Curse will deliver the energy needed to carry on the fight.

Set as a Four piece band, Celtic Curse keeps the arrangements to the basics. Much like our granddads before us, only so much is needed in a song to carry the message. With influences like Dropkick Murphys, The Pogues, Young Dubliners, Off-Kilter, etc… it is easy to understand the philosophy of the Celtic Curse.

So fire up the band, we’re gonna’ get drunk again. We’re drinking until every thing’s all right

Line-up:

Kevin Shannon - Guitar, Bass, Banjo, Tin Whistle, Vocals

Lyle Bush - Bass, Guitar, Vocals

Melanie Shannon - Vocals, Autoharp, Bodhrán, Tambourine, Fiddle

Garry Griswold - Drums, Back up Vocals

2019-03-04 THE NEWCRANES - BACK TO THE FRONTLINE 2019

The Newcranes are back. You can check out our previous post about The Newcranes from 2009 here.

(Source: Wikipedia)

"In the heady days of the early Nineties, it was hard to find a band with a better live reputation than The Newcranes. Energetic and inspiring, their intoxicating mix of Slavonic-tinged thrash-folk-punk thrilled audiences across Europe and fans still speak of incendiary shows and no-compromise recordings. Tasting chart success as label mates with The Levellers, supporting Bob Dylan, tours with Saw Doctors, Stiff Little Fingers and The Mission. Headlining Camden Palace with Skunk Anansie supporting them and then... silence. For years, the legend has grown, the stories have spread, and the clamour for a comeback has grown. Finally, after 25 years, a new chapter has begun."

2019-03-03 - NYAH FEARTIES "A Tasty heidfu' " REISSUED BY GOOD ENERGY

"Raw as hell record from the 1980s Scottish underground by Nyah Fearties, who toured Arran in kilts, who built a percussion setup from scaffolding and oil drums, who appeared on The Tube on the back of a moving lorry, and recorded this, their first album, in a cow shed in Ayrshire with just a car’s cassette deck as a monitor.

Don’t expect this to sound soft or slick because it isn’t, and therein lies its glory. Released on vinyl 1986, and later circulated under the counter as an unofficial CD-R, it’s bounced around the Glaswegian underground for decades. The master tapes went missing but with the approval of Davy Wiseman it’s been dragged kicking and screaming back into the world as a limited LP run and digital release, and contains perhaps the most chaotic detournement of a Robbie Burns folk ballad ever laid to tape.

Nyah Fearties are from the village of Lugton, and created a near-unique brand of anarchic modern folk in the 1980s and 1990s. “Simple Minds, Orange Juice and The Jesus And Mary Chain were from Scotland but Nyah Fearties are about Scotland” said one review. Their feral Celtic punk is influenced by industrial groups like Einsturzende Neubaten, who inspired a scaffolding and scrap metal percussion setup that became known as ‘the blatter cage’, making them unwelcome wherever they went. Fearties are a duo of brothers Davy and Stephen Wiseman, and this record also includes, “the Entire Company on anything they can lay their hands on” according to original sleevenotes. The brothers toured, appeared on TV, and later supported The Pogues on tour, and these successes allowed them to release better recordings under improved conditions.

Originally released in 1986 and reissued now by Good Energy, a co-production between Jennifer Lucy Allan (Arc Light Editions) and Kevin McCarvel (Nyali Recordings). Good energy thanks all involved, especially Cal Wiseman and the one with the best energy: Davy Wiseman.

To be Feart is to be scared, but you better be
because A Tasty Heidfu’ is back and it’s coming for you.
