Released - 1987
Label - Recordiau Sain


Keltia Rok is a compilation LP, released on the Welsh Recordiau Sain label.[1] It is notable for being the first (and up to 2020) the only LP to include contemporary rock and pop songs in all six Celtic languages.[2] It includes the first ever rock songs released in the Cornish and Manx languages. The album was released to coincide with the National Eisteddfod in Porthmadog in August 1987.[3] It was distributed as a vinyl LP (Sain 1412M) and as a cassette (Sain C612N) and was distributed by Revolver / The Cartel of Bristol.[1]

Background and recording

golygu

The record was organised by Davyth Fear, who at that time was General Secretary of the Celtic League.[4][5][6] The reverse of the LP cover contained a number of advertisments for Celtic language organisations, which helped pay for the pressing. The front cover contains an image of the Welsh rap group Llwybr Llaethog, who also recorded for Recordiau Sain.[7]

Reviews

The album was reviewed by a number of music magazines and journals. Dulais Rhys in the Welsh weekly newspaper ‘Y Faner’ thought it an interesting selection with an excellent cover.[8] Adrian Tierney-Jones in the NME highlighted it as a contemporary record, with some songs ‘warming the cockles of the Celtic heart’. ‘Ultimately’, he said, ‘the record’s real significance is that these languages are alive and not dead museum fodder’. [9] According to ‘Keltoi – a Pan-Celtic Review’, the release of the record helped to connect the rock movements in the Celtic languages.[10] According to the journal ‘Welsh Music History’, it was a great step forward for comtemporary culture in the Celtic nations.[11]
