CeltCast Fantasy Awards 2023/24: The Winners!

The Fantasy Awards Party, with a delightful look back at 2023, is now a fond memory. What a splendid gathering it was, filled with familiar faces in the heart of P60 Amstelveen! 🤩

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all our visitors. Without your presence and voting, there would be no party, and our cherished tradition of organizing this event would not endure. Our foundation thrives on love and the dedication of volunteers, but let’s face it, parties do come with costs. Your support means the world to us! ❤️

Monthly Marker March 2024: Vilma Talvitie

It’s the 1st of March which means a brand new Monthly Marker for this month!

Band: Vilma Talvitie Music
Song: Helppoo ja ihanaa (Easy and wonderful)
Music & lyrics: Vilma Talvitie
Arrangement: Vilma Talvitie & Sami Zimmermann

Vilma (Finland) released her debut album MISTÄ MIHIN (Whereto) last October through many concerts. We love the story of how one of the Fior members visited one and gave Vilma the advice to contact us. And look how that turned out: we definitely want to spread the word about this amazing and powerful album!

The album was released in Finland, but it was born in Germany and on the road when Talvitie lived a nomadic life in Europe, Asia, and South America before the pandemic. The album includes influences from around the world, but also roots and longing for one’s birthplace in Finland. The theme of the album is movement – when you sleep at night on buses, hang out in railway stations and ports, walk the streets of foreign cities, and end up with people in the middle of mountains, forests, or islands, you inevitably begin to look at things differently than in a steady, stationary lifestyle.

We’ll play this song 5 to 6 times a day for a full month on our radio station and of course, it will be in our special CeltCast – Monthly Markers Spotify list! Hopefully, you will love it as much as our team does!

Musical Greetings,

The CeltCast Radio Team 🎻
