Only a little over a week left until our Celtic Folk Festival starts! We can hardly wait and are soooo excited to finally celebrate life with you again! Wondering what an evening like this looks like or maybe you forgot after such a long time? Here is a video from the 2019 edition to get you as excited as we are. Don’t forget; if you can’t be there in person, you can also join us online and tickets are available for that. We hope every Rapalje, Saor Patrol and Flannery fan out there will join us, because this will be a night to remember!
One of the most beloved bands of our Rapalje Zomerfolk Festival and rightly so! With Flannery you are always guaranteed a party and a musical spectacle. The music makes Celtic sounds pop, supported by heavy guitar music. Try to keep your feet still: go with that bagpipe!
Tickets for the Celtic Folk Festival in the EM2, Groningen on October 29 are now available in presale. Can’t attend? Then take a look online and make a reservation!
It is an honour and a privilege to have our good friends of Saor Patrol join us at our Celtic Folk Festival on October 29th. Everyone who has seen them on stage knows it is impossible to keep still during their shows. Bagpipes, drums and electric guitars; Saor Patrol has it all and more. Lemmy himself once named them “The Motörhead of Folk” and it’s a title they well deserve. We cannot wait to have these amazing musicians on our stage; Alba gu bràth!

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.

The owners Peter and Evy can undoubtedly tell you wonderful stories and there are several old photos of us; can you find them?
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

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.
