This sound, as international as the musicians - hailing from Scotland, USA, Bulgaria and Austria - and the spectacular show guarantee a concert no one will ever forget. Fiery torches on the bagpipes and burning drumsticks, thundering against huge drums, create a captivating atmosphere; flames,
shooting out of the instruments, entertain audiences worldwide. That’s why Celtica is one of the most booked acts at Celtic, Scottish, Steampunk, and Medieval festivals. Celtica conquered their fans by storm at more than 450 performances in Europe - from the legendary Wacken-Festival in northern Germany to southern Spain, and at numerous US- and Canada- tours from New York to San Francisco, from Florida up New England, from Alaska to Hawaii. Their music videos inspire 6 million viewers on Youtube, and still counting.

Recently awarded “International Celtic Artist of the Year” (ACMA)

WICKED TINKERS

Posted on 9/17/25

Prepare yourself for a wild ride with WICKED TINKERS! Pioneers of the growing Tribal Celtic movement, the Tinkers have been playing haunting, heart-pounding bagpipes and irresistible tribal drums as a professional touring band since 1995.

WICKED TINKERS

With the addition, several years back, of the mesmerizing drone of the Australian didgeridoo and Bronze Age Irish horn, the magic was complete. Sit back and be transported to an earlier time in Scotland and Ireland, when battle cries filled the air and strange, unheard-of creatures roamed the night. Or better yet, get on your feet and let your body move to ancient rhythms and forgotten sounds.

Don't think this is dry, dusty music for museum shelves – WICKED TINKERS merge the best of modern, almost rock-and-roll energy with the hypnotic, insistent grooves of their Gaelic ancestors. Rare is the bystander who comes away without feeling a surprising, sometimes bewildering connection to long-forgotten primal emotions ... half-memories of ages past and experiences nameless yet somehow familiar. WICKED TINKERS creates music to set your jaw, put a fire in your belly, a glint in your eye and a dance in your feet.

Since their inception, Golden Bough has become a popular and in demand group on both sides of the Atlantic, gaining critical acclaim and enthusiastic support from folk fans wherever they perform. In the recording studio, as well as on stage, Golden Bough captures the essence and joy of traditional folk music, and captivates listeners with the uniqueness of their original compositions.

Golden Bough has spent over 3 decades researching and performing not only the better known music of Ireland & Scotland, but also the music of the lesser known Celtic lands of Wales, Cornwall, The Isle of Man, French Brittany and Galicia (in Spain). Although their sound is rooted in the music of these Celtic nations, they have expanded upon these ethnic styles to create a sound that is unique in traditional music. This music has a wide and diverse variety of emotions and rhythms; from haunting ballads, mythological tales and beautiful airs, to lively sing-along and toe-tapping jigs and reels.
