Orthodox Celts are the Celtic Folk Rock band from Belgrade Serbia,

founded in 1992. Being the first Irish band in Eastern Europe, during the last 20 years the Orthodox Celts have popularized Irish music and culture and established themselves as the unique ambasadors of the Emerald island. Excellent performance, positive atmosphere and guaranteed great concert show, gradually brought their faithful audience to create an army of fans that follows wherever the Celts play.

Despite uncharacteristic genre in their home country, the band is one of the top acts of the Serbian rock scene and has influenced many younger bands across the region. Even more, their version of traditional "Star of the County Down" song, left behind music giants such as Van Morrison and the Chieftains. With more than two million viewers on the Youtube, their song made bigger public impact than the next five bands together.

The Orthodox Celts have had several tours and numerous concerts in this part of Europe, including Greece, Macedonia, Italy, Bosnia, Hungary, Slovenia, Montenegro and Switzerland.
