• NEW SINGLE: FINLAND’S LORETTA PROBLEM RELEASE ‘Homegrown Hooligans’

    Scandinavia has some really interesting and very good, Celtic-Punk bands and Finland’s The Loretta Problem, this year celebrating their 32nd anniversary, are one of the best! 32 years is a long time. I dare say a bit longer than some of you reading this but it’s some achievement for any band and especially for the…

  • NEW SINGLE: LORETTA PROBLEM FROM FINLAND RELEASE ‘Green ‘n Gray’

    It can’t be much joy being Finland’s only Celtic flavoured Punk Rock but Loretta Problem have been kicking and screaming since 1991 and are still going strong.

  • 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…

  • SINGLE REVIEW: LORETTA PROBLEM (featuring Juha Lagström)- ‘The Waltz Of My Drunken Dream’ (2019)

    Wow! What to say except that Finland’s Loretta Problem have hit the jackpot here with their new single. I think it’s  no exaggeration to say it’s a song that The Pogues would have been proud to record! Featuring Juha Lagström on vocals ‘The Waltz Of My Drunken Dream’ is perhaps Loretta Problem’s most influenced Irish…

     Finnish celtic-punks Loretta Problem have been together for over twenty years and are happy to offer up London Celtic Punks readers a free download of their fabulous new single ‘Welcome To The Circus’.

  • SINGLE REVIEW: LORETTA PROBLEM- ‘Justice Or Crime’ (2015)

    A bunch of Finnish punks and hippies mixing celtic tunes with punk-rock since 1994. Peace, love and a fistful of middle fingers when needed! Doing this blog has certainly opened my eyes to the spread of celtic music across the world. Not only with the celtic diaspora re-connecting with their roots but among people with none…
