  • ALBUM REVIEW: KELTIKON- ‘The Black Boar’ (2020)

    An hour of original Celtic-Folk-Punk Keltikon songs and Irish and Scots traditionals.

It’s been quite a while since Keltikon graced…

  • LONDON CELTIC PUNKS PRESENTS OUR BEST OF 2014!

    TOP TWENTY CELTIC PUNK ALBUMS OF 2014 Last year our ‘Best Of’ list was completely dominated by bands from these shores but this time there’s a much more international flavour to 2014’s Best Album’s list.
