PerKelt is a contemporary folk band based in London, UK. Their poetry and strong message of freedom and joy merges together with crazily fast, Celtic rhythms and joyful melodies. The music of PerKelt blends together the upbeat “engine” of drums and guitars, their trademark unrivalled duels of fiddle and recorders, haunting pagan vocals and the deep tribal vibes of didgeridoo. Somewhat elusively beyond the usual physical limits, PerKelt reaches deep inside our soul to make us dance, laugh and love…
They met in the mystical underworld of London, and touring the world they invite their audience to enjoy their free spirit, joy of life and love for music. Drawing inspiration from paganism of all kinds, their songs often tell stories from the realm of magic, nature and the beautiful human hearts. Often praised for the energetic authenticity of their performance and the spiritual depth of the journey they take their audience on, PerKelt once made a promise to never stop playing together.
Congratulations for the wonderful music you offer and for the exceptional level of performance. You are fantastic! Is it possible to know what type of microphone you use for the recorder and which wireless system? A thousand thanks!!!
When the three recorder players in our congregation combine with strings and coral musicians it's an entirely different dimension to the sound. The same with Celtic music. Recorders and good Penny Whistles fit so well with acoustic instruments. These two can really play.
Perkelt's music is exquisite and sound of that recorder can pierce the darkness of any midwinter. Anyone suffering from SAD can dump their anti-depressants when listening
I was also waiting for the recorder. That's also the reason I love perkelt so much, because it contains a recorder. I am a recorder player and hopefully they will make recorder more popular this way. ❤

Thank you. Oh, if you haven't heard it already, we've just released a new single (streaming platforms and bandcamp) from the upcoming album, check it out!
The destiny of a professional musician, either you are so rich you can live anywhere you want and afford whatever you want, or you are super close to homeless. I recommend the first option.
