Celt In A Twist

Music that expands and improves on Celtic traditions! Have a listen to what today's artists are doing to granpappy's Celtic: Celtpunk from The Mahones, along with Pipes & Pints from the Czech Republic, The Whistling Donkeys and Gnoss plug in for Celtic Rock, new Cosmic Celtic from The Breath and Celtronica from the Afrocelts and Valtos. Music from old souls who are young at heart from Celt In A Twist.

Great Celtic music to enjoy LIVE this month from The Whistling Donkeys at The Rickshaw Theatre on October 19th, and the Dropkick Murphys at Harbour Centre with The Scratch on October 13th. We have gnew Gnoss for you, Sonova turns in a fiddly Cosmic Celtic and Galician piper Carlos Nunez puts in an appearance. It's Celtic that's an old soul but young at heart from Celt In A Twist!

Celtic gets its groove on this hour! The Afro Celt Sound System finally drops Ova, the last music created before the passing of founder, Simon Emmerson. We dig in deep for the show's opener, followed by another new discovery, Gnoss, a Scottish combo who are stretching the form with Stretching The Sky. Still more fresh takes from Catalonian piper ROS and Capercaillie, celebrating 40 years with ReLoved featuring the BBC Scottish Symphony. Just one taste, and you'll drink your fill from Celt In A Twist!                                    

Common ground for disparate Celtic forms around the world! Yoko Pwno get the ball rolling with The Airt Of The Deil, Niteworks shine a light on Skye's fascination with Celtronica. We introduce Hunger Road, the new album from Fife band, Skyrie and round out a ton of tunes with a seriously cool set from Daimh (who perform October 31st at the St. James Hall). Join Patricia Fraser for Celt In A Twist.

It's an early crop of Celtic fresh from the fields! Capercaillie celebrate 40 years with the BBC Scottish Symphony! We pop the cork on ReLoved, the new album. Whistling Donkeys show up on Vancouver's door, October 19th at The Rickshaw. They're in the mix this week. And, Catalan piper ROS releases more of his signature fusion of pipes & electronics. Twisted Celtic indeed, this week with Patricia Fraser.

Savoring the last sip of summer with the very best in contemporary Celtic, culled from our monthly Top 10 chart. It's the Celt In A Twist Celtic Countdown! Featured this hour: a new single from the critically-acclaimed Breath, new Celtronica from Skye remixed by Valtos and the 3rd pre-release from Ova, Afro Celt Sound System's forthcoming album.

Punk Celts, Firkin from Budapest, decided to give limericks rest. Instead the present to you, an impossibly heavy haiku. The Mollys serve up a Song Of Liberty, something for Finny McConnell's birthday, Davie Simmons tributes the lost at Culloden Field and The Once channel Queen. Celtic music fan's best friend is Celt In A Twist with  Patricia Fraser.
