Info for You Should Know

After a 10th anniversary tour, a best-of release, and the arrival of a new Dublin-born singer, The Celtic Social Club delivers its most direct and powerful record yet.

Produced by Nick Davis (Genesis, The Pogues, Bjork, XTC), YOU SHOULD KNOW captures the raw live energy of the Franco-Irish collective with ten tracks recorded together, live in the studio. The result: sharp songwriting, haunting vocals, inventive basslines, chiming 12-strings, soaring fiddles, and unstoppable grooves.

Moving beyond traditional Celtic themes, the band shapes an international Celtic pop sound - rooted in tradition but infused with rock and indie-folk. Think Clash, Pogues, and Fontaines D.C, but with their own unmistakable voice.

In seven years of existence, THE CELTIC SOCIAL CLUB has succeeded in imposing a sound, a style and a name on a well established Celtic music scene. With four studio albums and two live albums so far, They have crisscrossed stages, festivals and continents. These seven Franco-Irish troubadours continue to refine their elegant and daring reinterpretation of the traditions of Celtic music, blended with great amounts of rock energy, of pop harmony and folk melody.

The astonishing journey for this band began in July 2014 and was only meant to be a one off event at the Vieilles Charrues festival. The energy, the desire and the freshness, forged a band from an event. This meeting of adventurers, gathered around a name, THE CELTIC SOCIAL CLUB. A band with a cultural mission: to advance traditional music from Celtic cultures (Brittany, Ireland, Scotland, Asturias) by fusing them with rock, pop, folk and groove.

Organized like a guerrilla group , the collective pops up all across Europe, but may surface in Asia, and has been known to materialize in The United States, even showing up in Central Park, NYC. Having toured the world, The Celtic Social Club’s sights are set on The United Kingdom, which has a history of musical superiority and a lack of tolerance for French artists. The Pogues and the Clash have often been cited in an attempt to summarise the spirit of energetic and ambitious musical mash-ups. Taking the torch from these pioneers, The Celtic Social Club has gradually forged a new and stable path to original territory.

Their fourth album, DANCING OR DYING? was released on October 8th 2021. Irish singer, Dan Donnelly added his voice to his Breton counterparts: Manu Masko, Ronan Le Bars, Goulven Hamel, Pierre Stephan, Mathieu Péqueriau and Richard Puaud. They have levelled up their recording game over the last year and are keen to prove that with the new material, that love they will be a force to be reckoned with.

The Celtic Social Club

The Celtic Social Club In seven years of existence, THE CELTIC SOCIAL CLUB has managed to impose a sound, a style and a name. With four studio albums and two live albums to their credit, crisscrossing stages, festivals and continents, the seven Franco-Irish musicians continue to refine their elegant and daring reinterpretation of the Celtic music tradition, shaken up with rock energy, pop harmony and folk melody.

Quite a journey for this group that was supposed to be, in July 2014, only a one-shot creation at the Vieilles Charrues festival... Energy, desire and freshness will have been the strongest for this meeting of adventurers, gathered around a name, THE CELTIC SOCIAL CLUB, and a simple artistic program: to advance the traditional Celtic music (Brittany, Ireland, Scotland, Asturias) by rubbing them with rock, pop, folk and groove.

Organized as a real stage commando, the collective plays a lot in Europe, flies to Asia, then to the United States, with notably an emblematic date in Central Park, NYC. Then they set out to conquer the United Kingdom, which is not very indulgent towards "Frenchy" groups. If the Pogues and the Clash have often been quoted to try to summarize this energetic and ambitious musical mash-up, the band has gradually found its marks and its stability, to the point of making references and comparisons obsolete today.

With their fourth album, DANCING OR DYING ? released on October 8, 2021, backed by the exceptional voice of their Irish singer, Dan Donnelly, Manu Masko, Ronan Le Bars, Goulven Hamel, Pierre Stephan, Mathieu Péqueriau and Richard Puaud have ambition to spare. And a formidable scenic commitment to assert their position of challenger!

This album contains no booklet.
