Celtic Folk Music With A Difference!
We were supposed to reopen the webshop this week, but due to the huge sales on Zomerfolk we have been given room for new products. We are now going to work on that first, so that they can also be in the shop as soon as we open it again. Just a little patience, but we promise it will be worth the wait!
The Zomerfolk program is online! If you don’t have tickets yet, order them quickly via https://zomerfolk.nl/tickets/ or get them at the cash register. The weather forecasts are fantastic and we are looking forward to it after all this time!
Because we will be taking all merchandise to Zomerfolk this year and will travel on to England almost immediately afterwards, the webshop will be closed until June 22nd. The digital downloads are still available.
On June 23rd we will open the shop again and who knows, maybe even with some new products!
At Zomerfolk you can of course get everything. No ticket yet? Then go to: https://zomerfolk.nl/tickets/
During our own Celtic Folk Festival in Orvelte on Sunday 22 May, two fantastic bands will be on stage: Fling and Cochon Bleu. Of course we also bring our infamous chaos and close this party with a set that lasts more than 1.5 hours. The festival takes place during the day and children up to the age of 12 have free entrance, so bring the whole family!
“Where is Dieb and when will he be back on stage with you?” A question we have been asked numerous times for almost two years now. Our beloved Raggle Taggle Gypsy himself gave you the answer to this question in an emotional video.
After 27 years Dieb has left Rapalje, due to health reasons. We can hardly express into words how sad this has made us. So many wonderful memories, on and off stage, and not just with us: with you also! We will continue as a band and are confident we can carry on in a way that honors all of the work our wonderful friend has put into this band. We love you, Dieb!

Wow what an honor! Yesterday, after our show in Het Kielzog in Hoogezand, we were totally overwhelmed by no less than 3 Fantasy Awards! We were personally presented with the awards by our good friend Mark van der Stelt from Vana Events.
The award for “Best Merch” for the Rapalje Songbook, “Thanks for the Laugh” for our bird show during Zomerfolk 2019 and the “Positivity award” especially for Maceàl who creates wonderful livestreams for you every Tuesday, even during the COVID years. We want to say a big thank you to everyone for voting and of course CeltCast for organizing these fantastic awards!
Drunen, Hoogezand, Steenwijk, Deurne, Balk, Borne and more! Have you seen our pretty full agenda yet? We are very happy that we can finally show our show “Scotland’s Story” to everyone! So invite your friends, your parents, your children, brothers, sisters, grandpa and grandma or with whomever you want to experience unforgettable moments and let’s all be easy and free!

Bad news unfortunately. In consultation with Theater Harderwijk, we had to decide to cancel tonight’s performance “Scotland’s Story” and move it to Saturday, April 2, 2022.
This decision was not an easy one; we have never canceled a performance due to weather conditions before and would have loved to brave the storm for you. However, your safety is our top priority. People with a ticket are also informed by the theater. Take care everyone today and see you soon!
On February 12th we will come to Breda with our brand new theater show “Scotland’s Story”! There are still a few tickets available, but now show after show sells out fast, we advise you to act quickly.
During this show, with dance, sing-alongs like “Caledonia” and “Wat Zullen We Drinken” will pass by and of course songs from our most recent album “Scotland’s Story”. We also have a small selection of our merchandise and some special offers that only apply in the theaters. We are really looking forward to it and hope to see you at this special show!
Of course we can’t wait until everything is possible again without measures, but we see this as a step in the right direction. Check the measures in force regarding Covid via our agenda at the relevant theaters. We will keep you informed of all planned shows in the near future.
Since last Tuesday’s press conference, we have been in constant contact with the theaters. We are therefore very happy that we will start again with our Scotland’s Story theater tour, the next shows are in Zevenaar (29/1), Veenendaal (2/2) and Heiloo (5/2). And we are allowed to sell our merch before each show! We’ll take a small selection with us, which completely fits this show and it is possible to pay by card.
Of course we can’t wait for everything to be possible again without measures, but we see this as a step in the right direction. We are therefore very happy that we can play for you again. Are you ready for Scotland’s Story?
Check the applicable measures regarding Covid via our agenda at the relevant theaters. We will keep you informed of all the planned shows in the near future.
