  • ALBUM REVIEW: THE PORTERS – To The Good Times And The Bad (2023)

    Five-piece Düsseldorf Celtic-Folk-Punk band The Porters are back with a new album To The Good Times And The Bad that is a bittersweet release in that it also signals their sad farewell from the stage after 24 years together. It was at the end of October last year that an announcement appeared on the Facebook…

  • ALBUM REVIEW: THE O’REILLYS AND THE PADDYHATS- ‘Seven Hearts One Soul’ (2016)

    Imagine the foggy streets of long ago Dublin, crowded pubs ringing with laughter and singing, a time of sailing fishermen and people with stalwart beliefs. The past wrapped up in songs that make you want to dance and sing along till your throat demands another pint. This is what it’s like to listen to The O’Reillys And The Paddyhats!…

  • ALBUM REVIEW: FIDDLER’S GREEN- ‘Devil’s Dozen’ (2016)

    Fiddlers Green. The band that invented their own genre- ‘Irish Speed Folk’ !! Fiddler’s Green celebrated their 25th anniversary last year with the release of the fantastic compilation album 25 Blarney Roses and was as about as good as anything released in 2015. They hail from the small Bavarian town of Erlangen, that is twinned with our very own…

  • 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. Again Irish influenced bands dominate but the absolute standout album for me was without a doubt Uncle Bard And The Dirty Bastards…

  • ALBUM REVIEW: THE PORTERS/ THE JUDAS BUNCH/ THE MAHONES/ MALASANERS- ‘Welcome To The Folk Punk Show’ (2014)

    I’ve noticed lately that vinyl is becoming more and more popular within the celtic-punk scene and it’s more recent releases. Not just ordinary vinyl either but the really heavyweight discs that are the super duper best quality you can get. Like the those early Dubliners albums your Da’s got indoors. Still though a bit of a…
