  • LONDON CELTIC PUNKS PRESENTS THE BEST OF 2019!

    Well here we go again. It only seems like five minutes since I was compiling all the votes into last years Best Of that saw The Rumjacks romping home with Album Of The Year. This year has been a bit quieter on the Celtic-Punk front but as last year was so busy that is perhaps…

  • LONDON CELTIC PUNKS PRESENTS THE BEST OF 2017!

    Yes I know it only seems like five minutes since the last one but it’s that time of year again when we give you, for what it’s worth, our opinion on who made the best music in the celtic-punk scene over 2017. It’s been another outstanding year for the music that we all love and some…

  • ALBUM REVIEW: DRUNKEN DOLLY- ‘Alcoholic Rhapsody’ (2017)

    Happy rocking celtic folk punk party music from Rotterdam! Coming from the Dutch port town of Rotterdam and formed way way back in 2004 Drunken Dolly are one of the best bands around but you can be forgiven for perhaps not knowing them as in all that time they have only got round to two…

  • ALBUM REVIEW: McSCALLYWAG- ‘Dirty Water’ (2017)

    Celebrate the good life with Dutch celtic-punkers McScallywags. Influenced by traditional Irish folk music, sea-shanties and good ol’ drinking songs McScallywag are on a mission to put a smile on everyone’s face! Got this album in the post from Waldo over at Celtic Folk Punk And More web-site (always worth checking out here) but with such a…

  • LQR’s ’10 PINTER’ FESTIVAL 2017

    10 PINTER FESTIVAL- Bladen, Netherlands Saturday 14th January 2017 Last Saturday, Dutch folk punk band LQR (Liquor) celebrated their 10th anniversary with their own ’10 PINTER’ festival at Grand Café De Baron. At the entrance to the gig was a festival banner and a sign that says “Tonight only: 10 PINTER (10%) – Limited Edition” That’s…

  • LONDON CELTIC PUNKS PRESENTS THE BEST OF 2016!

    Yes I know it only seems like five minutes since the last one but it’s that time of year again when we give you, for what it’s worth, our opinion on who made the best music in the celtic-punk scene over 2016. It’s been another outstanding year for the music that we all love and some…

  • ALBUM REVIEW: BUNCH OF BASTARDS- ‘My Drinkin’ Ain’t Done’ (2016)

    ‘FULL FORCE FOLK’ from a Bunch Of Bastards from The Hague, Rotterdam and Dordrecht! I’m not sure quite what it is about the word Bastard in celtic-punk but their are a whole host of bloody brilliant bands about with it in their name. Think Mr Irish Bastard from Germany, Bastards On Parade (now shortened to just…

  • ALBUM REVIEW: LQR- ’10 Pinter’ (2016)

    Six southern Dutch guys with a passion for Irish folk, steaming Americana, solid rock and Irish whiskey. Back in 2014 we reviewed an early EP, ‘A Taste Of Liquor’, from these Dutch guys from the town of Bladel and we really loved it. Equal parts Irish folk and punk rock but it rocked a brand of celtic-punk that’s also tinged…

  • LONDON CELTIC PUNKS PRESENTS OUR BEST OF 2015!

    One of the best things about doing this here blog-zine is the end of year ‘Best Of’s’. This is our chance to reward, for what it’s worth, and recommend those releases that tickled our collective fancies over the last twelve months. Where as in 2013 the Best Of’s were dominated by local bands and releases…

  • EP REVIEW: DRUNKEN DOLLY- ‘Drunken Dolly And The Drunken Mans Curse’ (2015)

    Happy rocking celtic folk punk party music from Rotterdam Funny how things go and only a few days after reviewing the new album from Dutch band Pyrolysis another new release from a Dutch band lands on the London Celtic Punks doorstep. Although relatively new to us Drunken Dolly have been together for six years but ‘Drunken…

  • ALBUM REVIEW: PYROLYSIS- ‘On Mountains High I Stand’ (2015)

    Five crazy Bruchem people. Let them explode. Get a joyful mix of celtic, punk, rock, and folk. That’s Pyrolysis! On first listen this seems a rather odd album here from Dutch folkies Pyrolysis that sits very nicely on the folkier side of celtic-punk. Repeated listening to ‘On Mountains High I Stand’ reveals a really nice traditional…

  • ALBUM REVIEW: CIRCLE J- ‘Year Of The Goat’ (2015)

    Hard hitting celtic punk from the Lowlands Grab your pint, put your fist in the air and scream along! The first ever gig we ever put on under the banner of London Celtic Punks was way back in August,2009 and starred these fantastic celtic-punkers from Holland. Since then they have popped up on the internet loads and despite…
