When English producer Nick Davis (Genesis, The Pogues, Björk, XTC) caught the raw live power of The Celtic Social Club, he was hooked. He wanted to bottle that energy, to capture it straight to tape. His idea? Strip it back to basics—everyone playing together, in the same room, the old-school way.
At bassist Richard Puaud’s studio near Poitiers—our creative home for years—we laid down ten tracks that are both raw and razor-sharp. Haunted vocals, sharp-edged songwriting, inventive bass lines, chiming twelve-strings, blazing fiddles, and unstoppable beats. There’s a youthful swagger in there too, making us sound more British than ever.
The artwork is a four-hands creation, blending the elegance of photographer Richard Dumas with the bold imagination of graphic designer Julien Bonnet.
After nearly 70 gigs across France, England, and Ireland, the Inventory Tour is wrapping up. Every night, your energy pushed us higher, and now it’s time for the next chapter: the You Should Know Tour. This new show will be built around the fresh songs from the album, mixed with fan favorites and Celtic Social Club classics.
These tracks are made for the stage—alive, loud, and ready to explode. Expect a set that’s vibrant, high-voltage, and 100% Celtic Social Club.
