This debut release on his own 30 Hertz label finds Wobble turning his musical gaze from English transcendentalism (as explored in the acclaimed album "The Inspiration of William Blake") to a gritty Celtic romanticism. If you can imagine Samuel Beckett, Miles Davis and the Kodo drummers jamming together in Lee 'Scratch' Perry's basement studio then you're coming close to the sound of his album. Guaranteed to outrage purists (again!) as much it delights everyone else The Celtic Poets focuses on a more contemporary group of writers: Louis MacNeice, Brendan Kennelly and the infamous Shane MacGowan all memorably orated by Ronnie Drew of The Dubliners.

With an "all star" line-up on hand - Harry Beckett (trumpet), Jaki Liebezeit (drums), Jah Wobble (bass/producer), Jean-Pierre Rasle (bagpipes), Baluji Shrivastev (sitar), Zi Lan Liao (Ku-Cheng/ Harp), Clive Bell (Flute), Joji Hirota (Shakuhachi/Percussion) and long-time Invaders stalwart Mark Ferda (keyboards/mix) - Wobble and the latest incarnation of the Invaders of the Heart not only find a universal message within the searingly national but use it as a launch pad for a dazzling series of musical mediations.
