Ten years after their inception, Franco-Irish band The Celtic Social Club are still thriving upon their traditional heritage, but also widening their influences to the richness of other genres and cultures.

The Celtic Social Club have been pursuing a fascinating journey in the modernisation of traditional tunes from Brittany, Ireland, Scotland and Asturia, to name a few.

On their third LP, the band have never sounded so tight and powerful, nor so relevant and fresh, with great reviews on both sides of the channel. Recorded and produced in France, then mixed in the US by Manu Masko and New-Yorker Ariel Borujow (Black Eyed Peas, Cee Lo), these ten new tracks demonstrate the idiosyncratic synergy between tradition, songwriting and live energy.

The Celtic Social Club are forging a new path to bridge the gap between Celtic, rock and pop music with compelling authority. After shows in the USA, China, Spain, Switzerland, Germany, Turkey, the Czech Republic and Algeria, the band are coming to the UK in 2026.

The band’s line-up are: Taylor Byrne (vocals, guitar); Manu Masko (Red Cardell, DMFB); Ronan Le Bars (Héritage des celtes, Johnny Hallyday); Goulven Hamel (Cathal Coughlan, Miossec); Pierre Stephan (Meaelstrom); Richard Puaud (Alexandre Varlet, DFMB); and Mathieu Pequeriau (Blue Monkeys, DFMB).

Traditional yet progressive, original yet fast becoming a new sensation at venues throughout the world, The Celtic Social Club are a vital link between the past and the future of music.
