Celtic music at Aardvark Records
Loud, raucous and fun – that’s modern Celtic Rock music at Aardvark. Our brand of Celtic rock is a potent and popular fusion of punk, Celtic folk with a dash of Gypso thrown in for good measure. More bards than singers, the vocalists love spinning homespun tales of loving and living through their songs. Unpolished, to be sure, but no less potent for the pure joy of the music.Rock Music Videos

Lordryk was asked back to the Loriant Celtic Festival four years in a row - unusual, even for a top act, to be asked back more than twice. Lordryk continued to headline at festivals and major venues and the occasional support. Notably Lordryk supported The Levellers during a tour of Holland. Read the Full Story

Proudly psychedelic pagan, progressive punk, space rock, reggae amalgam, with some really nice guitar work and folk influences. Classic material infused with a driving energy and mushroom power.
The Clectic Rock band Mondragon was formed at the end of the 80s by three brothers – Andy, Paul and Tim Ashton. The equally highly talented drummer Richard Austin was the drummer.
The quickly became Cornwall’s premier band and were soon travelling up-country to perform. The release of the 'Dream' album greatly enhanced their reputation and they began to support name bands.
