In late January 2026, The Celtic Social Club gathered in Poitiers for a working session focused on writing new material for an upcoming album planned for 2027. To warm up and find their sound, the band played several tracks from their latest album YOU SHOULD KNOW acoustically — including three already tested in unplugged versions during English radio sessions in November 2025.
The idea emerged spontaneously: record these versions as they were, without artifice, simply for the pleasure of capturing the moment. In barely two days — one day of recording, one day of mixing — the essentials were locked in. From this unplanned interlude came this Unplugged EP: five tracks as a snapshot of the band — three acoustic tracks drawn from YOU SHOULD KNOW and two captured during the closing night of their 10th Anniversary Tour in Niort.
Neither a planned project nor a stylistic exercise, this EP is the reflection of a suspended moment and a happy studio accident. A breath of air in the band’s journey, where the songs reveal themselves differently — stripped back, carried only by the performance and the powerful collective presence.
