HELLO EVERYBODY!
CELTIC NIGHT 2025
July 17th - 19th, 2025
Plumlov, camp Zralok
Crisp sound of the bagpipes
Cuts through the air so bright,
My horn is filled up with mead
Scottish regiment ready for fight.
The rhythms of the bodhrán
Call to dance at our camping site,
Nothing else but jig and reel
We’ll be here til the morning light.
Slavs and Celts shout – Sláinte buddy!
Ray sings Pííívo… – which means beer,
Old Viking shouts his “Hello everybody”,
For all to be sure that Celtic Night is here.
Tom Somr – Old Viking
CELTIC NIGHT 2024 is behind us and it was really great!!! 30 different ensembles, 150 artists from 12 countries participated in the 21st year of Plumlov's Celtic Night.
We spent 3 days together full of diverse Celtic music from all corners of Europe, Irish dances, Celtic crafts, workshops and interesting lectures about Celtic spirituality. Beer and mead flowed, all enveloped in a special, all-embracing, beautiful atmosphere of camaraderie that always accompanies our festival.
Keltská noc 2024 proběhla pod záštitou hejtmana Olomouckého kraje a Irské ambasády v Praze a od letošního roku je náš mezinárodní hudební festival Keltská noc akreditován organizací European Festivals Association a dva ročníky smíme hrdě nosit značku REMARKABLE ARTS FESTIVAL – EFFE LABEL 2024 – 2025.
Celtic Night 2024 took place under the auspices of the Governor of the Olomouc Region and the Irish Embassy in Prague, and from this year our international music festival Celtic Night is accredited by the European Festivals Association and we can proudly wear the REMARKABLE ARTS FESTIVAL - EFFE LABEL 2024 - 2025 mark for two years.
The program included news: GROGGY DOGS (ESP) - a pirate band from the city of Seville, who brought their earthy rock based on old Irish tavern and sailor songs and conquered the KN audience with their original emotional performance. IRISH ELEMENTS THE SHOW (UK, IRL, SK) - for the first time at KN, an hour-long dance-music show, the group is led by Oliver Michael Gemoli, who personally participated as a dancer in the famous world project Lord of the Dance. LOES VAN SCHAIJK and her group LOES and The Celtic Link (NL, IRL, CZ) - Irish songs and tunes enriched with a touch of bluegrass and a pinch of jazz, including beautiful original songs by Loes.
At KN 2024, of course, there were also star stars from abroad: Sliotar (IRL), Celtica Pipes Rock (AUT, UK), Cisal Pipers (ITA), Selfish Murphy (HUN, ROM), Celtycki Wroclaw (PL) as well as star stars from the Czech and Moravian: Tomáš Kočko and Orchestra, České Srdce, Deloraine, Bran, Vintage Wine, Quanti Minoris, Happy To Meet, Malemirish, Gwalarn, Hakka Muggies, Wolfarian, Emerald Shine, Barbar Punk. Irish dances were performed by the groups: Eriu (PL), Démáirt (CZ) and Fiach Bán (CZ).
Celtic crafts were demonstrated in their camp by the Latenart group, which also enriched the Celtic night with a lecture on Celtic traditions and fighting, and many children visitors learned the basics of Celtic fighting in the Celtic camp, and adults had the opportunity to try on Celtic clothing. Friday's midnight fire show was provided by the fire mage - master Akada and his group Fires, Swords, Lightnings. As always, the whole atmosphere of the Celtic Night was enriched by a large number of stall holders who traditionally come to us from all over the country and offer beautiful products to please both the stomach and the mind and heart.
Finally, we would like to thank the Olomouc Region, the cities of Prostějov and Plumlov and all other partners of the festival for their support, without which KN would hardly be able to continue in this format, huge thanks to all the artists for their beautiful performances, a big thanks goes to the sound engineer Míra Horký and his co-workers Adam and Honza, the stage and lighting team under the leadership of Jirka and Michal Čmelů, we thank all the technical workers and great part-timers in all positions, the security team of Jirka Burian, Marek Otruba and the Plumlov enthusiasts, KZ and Plumlov's technical services, the Mirga family team for the catering and last but not least to Žralok camp, Petr Piňos and other camp workers for their long-term support of Celtic Night.
Friends Celts, Vikings, Slavs, Germans, Franks and all other related peoples: "the king is dead - long live the king"!!! Celtic Night 2024 is behind us and after a short rest of a few weeks, we start working on preparations for the new years festival.
