Celtic Folk Music With A Difference!
On March 23, the center of Eelde (Drenthe) will again be dominated by music, dance, fun and delicious food and drinks. During the second edition of our Celtic Folk Festival you can enjoy performances by Roy Gullane (The Tannahill Weavers), The Shannons, Dewar, Old Man Fergus and of course us. More names will be announced soon. You can also participate in a unique whisk(e)y tasting. Reserve your tickets via https://celticfolkfestival.com/eelde/
Important news: the webshop is temporarily closed! We are working on adding new products and faster shipping to make sure you can get your favourite Rapalje items whenever you want. As soon as we reopen we will make a fuss about it, so don’t worry about missing it.
The tickets for the premiere of our new theater show “Breaking Borders” in Ede were sold out in no time. That is why a limited number of additional tickets have now been made available. Don’t wait too long, because it is expected that these will also be gone soon. Will we see you on January 13?

During the CeltCast Fantasy Awards, an annual presentation of prizes in the International Fantasy Scene, our Zomerfolk Festival was voted Best Festival!
There were prizes in 9 different categories such as Best Live Act, Best Music Video, Best Album and Best Festival. We already won prizes in the pas, including Best Live Act and Best Merch. Alex van der Jagt, the brain behind Celtcast Radio and the organizer of the Fantasy Awards emphasized that we are the current record holder with most won prizes.
The Rapalje Zomerfolk Festival has been nominated before, but has not been able to cash it in so far. This year, Zomerfolk was the only Dutch festival that the so -called shortlist achieved and had to take on popular events in Germany, England and even Italy.
David could unfortunately not be at the presentation. He is currently busy with the final preparations for another festival of his hand: the sold -out Celtic Folk Festival that takes place on 11 March in Eelde. His reaction to winning: “Super fun! Really great and such beautiful other festivals that were also nominated. ”
Maceál, Sebastiaan Hidding and crew member Franca de Vrind were present and received the Award. Maceál thanked in detail everyone who had voted and mainly put the volunteers in the spotlight. “We thank the most important people of the festivals. Not only from Zomerfolk but from all festivals: the volunteers. Without them nothing would be possible. “
Wow! Thanks to a friend of ours we just discovered this gem and we absolutely loooove the energy he has and all the positivity in the comments. Though ours is a very old recording, it makes us so happy it brings a smile on so many faces.
