Paddy's Allstars is a Croatian band that was featured on the Celtic Punk Sampler vol. VII (April 2009) They have just released their album and they are sharing it for free.
"Paddy's Allstars was formed in March of 2006. when a couple of irish enthusiasts gathered with a desire to make some music. After tons of rehearsals, and unfortunately, almost the same amount of line-up changes, final line-up that exists nowadays was formed in December of 2006.
We had our first gig on St. Patrick's day - 17.03.2007. which was attended only by a bunch of our friends. :) Thanks to some of them, and to some other good people, we managed to get a few more gigs here and there during the spring and summer of 2007.
And thanks to those, and almost constant wave of creativity that resulted in quite a few of our own songs, we got the opportunity to do bigger gigs in well known clubs like KSET, Boogaloo, Kocka, and bunch of others, all over Croatia. That resulted in over a dozen concerts, and got us many new friends and supporters. Final prize was the invitation to play on a grand festival on St. Patrick's day in 2008, which was held at Zrinjevac square, in the centre of Zagreb, capital of Croatia, which gave us the opportunity to play side by side with artists like James Cannon and The Sinners, or The Slip. After that we devoted all our time and energy to our first album."

Boney was a warrior away - ay -- ah, A warrior and a terrior John Fran Swor!
Spavao je tiho u milom domu svom, čekao je sunce da obasja njegov dom. Granulo je ono al' sve čudno je bilo nije to ni slično onom što mu je se snilo.
Sve je bilo pusto, nestala je šuma, ostala praznina, nema niti ptice. Gdjegod da je krenuo, kud god da je prošao, nije našao mjesta zbog kojeg je pošao.
REF:
SAMOĆA MU JE SRCE STEGLA, OSTAO JE SAM, BEZ SVOGA DOMA OSTARIT ĆE ZNA. U PIVU JEDINU UTJEHU PRONAŠAO JE ON I SJEĆANJU NA LIVADE, NJEGOV JEDINI DOM!
Našao je novu šumu i bila mu je lijepa, poznavao ju je kao svoju maramu iz džepa, ipak bila mu je strana nepoznata divljina ni slična onoj doma gdje se zeleni djetelina.
Kratko bio je tamo, već počeo je piti, svake noći pod mjesečinom gorke suze liti. Jer falilo mu nešto u toj šumi dalekoj i u livadi stranoj, tužnoj, bezbojnoj.
REF.
Tužan svaki dan, a utjehe nema, šuma njegova mu fali, ali se nikome ne žali. Stisnuti će zube, krenuti će dalje, možda novu šumu opet sebi nađe.
Ali šume takve samo, samo jednom ima, koja je zelena i kad oživi zima. Umoran je bio, i legao je da spava, al ne probudi se više, nastupila je tama.
The Shamrock, True Irish Turbo Folk from Croatia, a band that was included in the last sampler, has just released a new 3 tracks single: ""Sjecanje Na Livade"(2009) .
Track list as follows:
1. Novi Dom 2. Ladarice 3. Old Skibereen.

Volume 8th includes bands from Serbia and Croatia. I have decided to include Irish Stew of Sindidun, even if they are well-known after their second album, but not to put other well known bands such as Belfast Food (Croatia) and the Orthodox Celts (Serbia), with a longer discography.
As it has already been said, Irish Stew of Sindidun (Serbia) has released a couple of albums and they have shown their maturity with the excellent second CD.
So Many Words (2005) Dare to Dream (2008)
In the sampler you will find 4 tracks from the first album and 5 tracks from the second one.
