Afro Celt Sound System

It's been a badly kept secret, but we've had to wait until the band were ready to announce the whole tour.

A pioneering and thrilling live band, Afro Celt Sound System return to live
action this summer for the first time in five years.
Twice Grammy-nominated
and multi-million album selling, the band play summer festivals throughout
Europe. Shrewsbury Folk Festival is very proud to be one of a select few
festivals in the UK presenting the Afro Celt Sound System in 2010.
A career-spanning survey double CD release of the bands best work
on Realworld will be announced soon.

modern, the black and white, the fluidity and breathless glee" Q Magazine

By far one of the 'best' bands I've ever heard in my life. I'm 60 years old, liked good music since I was a kid (Pink Floyd, Chieftains, etc.), and absolutely LOVE everything they play...it's for real.
THANK YOU...!!!!!!

It may not be some people's idea of folk music, but who cares? It's head-banging for the cardy and tankard generation!
