I love getting new music for the podcast. One of my main goals has always been to help indie Celtic musicians be heard. Getting new music is continued validation of that mission.
It's also a recognition that there will be a "tomorrow" for Celtic music. We will continue to celebrate Celtic culture into the future while paying loving tribute to the past with both traditional and not-so-traditional Celtic music. It's an honor to share this music with you.
This week, the Celtic music of tomorrow is here today with music from Rattle the Knee, Peat in the Creel, Kellswater Bridge, Bridgid's Cross, Sarah Copus, Jesse Ferguson, Cormac Gannon, Shauna Mullin, Devils Water, Robbi McMillen, Laura McGhee, Battlelegs, Sprag Session, Preab Meadar, The Changing Room.
In this week's show, I mention the Cateaters Pipe Band out of Vicenza, Italy. TYou can watch a video of them perform on YouTube.
The Podcast Awards are now open to nominations. They are running it differently this year. In fact, when you nominate the podcast, you might get a chance to vote on the winner too! The setup is a little more clunky and difficult to navigate this year. But you can nominate us right now!
Finally, I want to remind you that you can listen to this, and almost all of the past podcasts, through our free app on iTunes and Android. I hear they're adding new features to allow you to comment in the app. Not sure if that's up and running yet though.
Thank you once again for your generous support of Celtic music. Slainte!
