Artist:Poitin
Song:Step It Out
Album:Hot Days
Fans of Celtic music should enjoy the Czech Republic based band Poitin. Of course Celtic music comes from Ireland and Scotland but music is global. So I'm not surprised that there is a Celtic band from the Czech Republic or anyplace else. Poitin was formed in Pilsen, Czech Republic in 1996. The lead singer Jeremy King is from Brighton, England. He also plays bodhran and is a member of the folk band Lignit. The other members are Jaroslav Machacek on fiddle, Jakub Siegl on guitar, Jan Brabec on bouzouki and banjo, Sasha Maresova on whistles and flutes and Tomas Pergler on concertina. They record for their own label with CD Baby distribution. They record a mix of original and traditional songs. Step It Out seems to be an original song from the 2006 album Hot Days. The album is available as a digital download. So that's the thing about a band like Poitin. Regardless of where they are from, their music is available worldwide. Their latest album One for the Road was released in 2022. They like to perform in local clubs but they also work the European music festival circuit. I don't think they have ever been to North America. Celtic music fans should check them out because they are pretty good. Here's Poitin performing Step It Out at The Vagon Club in Prague, Czech Republic 2013.
