About Me

NEW CD AT LAST!
Although recorded at D B Studios in Stroud 18 months ago (but only recently mixed and fixed) this cd gives a real taste of what the band sounds like live. With nine of our favourite tracks and stunning celtic artwork by James, at £8 (+ £2 postage) this is a real bargain for Celticon fans. Anyone interested just send us a message via this page.
Celtic Conspiracy met originally playing a variety of world roots music in the Bagel Fish Orchestra. They have been together since 2000 playing everything from mellow lounge music to upbeat dance sets arranging traditional Celtic tunes in a contemporary style incorporating elements of rock and jazz improvisation. Increasingly they are being asked to organise ceilidhs for weddings and parties at various venues around the Gloucestershire area.. Here are a few recent comments about the Celticons:
'Great band, really tight.'
'Really versatile, switching from jazzy, jivey stuff to Irish.'
'Wonderful how you went with the flow.'
'Wow, you guys can do everything, can't you.'
"A huge thank you for creating a lovely evening, fabulous music, a magical atmosphere. I really enjoyed just hearing you & soaking it all up. Loads of people really enjoyed it and my fellow organisers were very impressed. We look forward to the next time."
''We saw you at The Space (a few years ago) when you were good, but now much improved and not as shy!'
'You should have carried on playing all night... people were really up for it!'
