Groningen; our City. Are you coming to our Celtic Folk Festival on October 29th? Then complete your weekend with a visit to our beautiful city and province. There are many hotels, b&b’s and hostels where you can stay overnight and the choice of fantastic restaurants and eateries is overwhelming. Walk through the always bustling center, take a bike ride through the beautiful nature or take one of the special city walks. Of course, a visit to the O’Ceallaigh Traditional Music Bar is mandatory. After all, this is the place where Rapalje once saw the musical light of day. The owners Peter and Evy can undoubtedly tell you wonderful stories and there are several old photos of us; can you find them?
Zomerfolk 2022 on 11 and 12 June
After consultation with the municipality of Groningen, we have a new date! The city park of Groningen is getting busier and we have of course managed to organize a very special festival that is slightly different from all other festivals. The municipality is happy with us and we are happy with you as an audience and that we can set up this festival here in a unique location! In the coming week we will do our best to convert everything back to the right date: you are the first to tell us this, because you are in our nice mailing! Go to Zomerfolk page
Zomerfolk 11 and 12 June 2022
“Er is genoeg voor iedereen”
To keep up your strenght during the Celtic Folk Festival on October 29th, the EM2 will serve several kinds of pizza. These include vegetarian and even vegan options. This location is also known for their extensive drinks menu and especially for this evening one is added: Guinness! The Cooking Highlander will also be there, so plenty of food for everyone! Since we and the other musicians of Saor Patrol and Flannery really want to connect with you during this festival, we will be backstage as little as possible and will be partying with all of you. So grab a pint and cheer together: Slàinte Mhath!

We’re all Scotland’s Story
“We’re all Scotland’s story and we’re all worth the same”
Beautiful words straight from the text of Scotland’s Story and nothing better describes what this new theater show by Rapalje is about.
Rapalje takes another trip through the theaters and takes the audience to the highlands of Scotland with fiery bagpipes, sensitive ballads and stomping jigs & reels.
A brand new theater show full of stories, song and dance. A feast of recognition of classic Rapalje songs such as Caledonia and What will we drink combined with new repertoire.
Our new theater show can be seen this year in Berlicum and Hoorn, from next year in many theaters in the Netherlands and a few in Belgium.

Castlefest Surprise Livestream – Caledonia
So we had a holiday stream, which turned out to be Castlefest Surprise Livestream. A big surprise for Mark he didn’t have a clue of what was coming. A lot of the bands who should play on Castlefest recorded support messages, we hope to see them all again very soon.
We would have loved to play at Castlefest live this year but it didn’t take place due to Corona. This is a small compilation of the whole stream: www.rapalje.com/castlefestsurprise
We hope this video brings a smile to everyone.
