Video: Scotland’s Story at Castlefest

Two thousand years ago the Celts were driven off of mainland Europe.

All Celts? No, one band bravely resisted the influx of modern pop and rock and found their own place in the world of music.

Armed with nothing but their voices and instruments, Rapalje is raiding clubs and halls far and wide, looking for victims to carry away on a musical journey through Scottish Highlands, Irish valleys, taverns and inns.

Ladies and gentlemen, let’s dance…

Video: Livestreaming from Maceál’s holiday in Spain – Rapalje Show 61

I’m sitting here, I really got nothing, only a rental car and my drone and my phone.

It’s also a very nice test if it’s even possible to do a livestream from the most remote area we can find right here in In Spain.

I’m sitting here on the stones Lights from a car and now I can relax and start my live stream in Guadalest. With a beautiful castle over there. I saw a nice lake A really Blue Lake.

I got your comments. I see you I see you there. I’m not all alone. The Internet is very good at some point but very bad when you’re remote like here in the middle of the mountains. I want to talk about my trip here in Spain, I’m on holiday And I made some really beautiful videos,

We have something new.

I’m trying it here during my holidays here in Spain and that’s this very lightweight bag. I just was trying if this is any good to travel with because it’s It’s only fabric it’s only cotton with ropes on it and I was using as a backpack. I just put it on our on our shop on internet on our home page So if you have someone to travel around with this backpack from Rapalje. I had really heavy stuff in it I really packed it full of things.

It is a special holiday here in this area it’s the reason that all shops are closed And that’s the reason that it’s there’s really nothing here in this area in Spain right now To be honest: I don’t feel very secure here and if something happens, well This is where I am: The worst situation I could think about doing a livestream for you

There are eight patrons who subscribed for patron for $20 a month I would like to send you t-shirt in any color. You can choose your own color And these patrons are Michael Witt, Lorna Wilbur, Nina Simon ,Simone Baumgarten, Penny Carlsen, Bjorn van Rijszen, Ernarapaljefan Kraaij and kalotte. I will ask you for an address you get a link where you can find your own color in the T-shirts we will order for you. Design will be the same. Print will be the same, color print will be the same. You can choose your own color t-shirt and then I will send it to you. So you get your own special designed color T-shirt at your wish!

Video: Never Mind the Strangers @ Castlefest

A tribute to all the people who’ve helped and stuck with us along the way

It takes two to get together
It takes time to make it last
We’ll all end up in some way
Like the drink in last night’s glass
But we’ll take this chance together
Lets not think about the end
Never mind the strangers
‘Cos I’ll always be your friend
Until the end

We’ve crossed the sea together
We’ve had our ups and downs
We’ve gone further than we’ve ever dreamed
From our county Galway home
If we’re up on top tomorrow
Or if it all just ends
Never mind the strangers
‘Cos I’ll always be your friend
Until the end

It has’nt all been easy
But sure that’s the way it is
We’ve been shaken, rocked and rattled
Taken jabs and body blows
There’s a strenght in being together
Like a steel bar that won’t bend
Never mind the strangers
‘Cos I’ll always be your friend
Until the end

Even now it’s hard to think back
When did it all begin
Was it some night drinking in Gay Brownes pub
Every soul is welcomed in
On this fine summers evening
As the blue of night descends
Never mind the strangers
‘Cos I’ll always be your friend
Until the end

We’ve seen the other side of life
And no been too impressed
It does’nt beat a day at home
If you put it to the test
But at least we took the challenge
We did’nt just pretend
Never mind the strangers
‘Cos I’ll always
Always be your friend
Until the end

Video: Your and Maceál’s hobbies – Rapalje Show 59

Welcome in my garden.
