It's late on Wednesday as I write this. I had trouble getting the show out earlier. Have I said how much easier life will be when the girls are back in school?
Nevertheless, I finished the show. It should now be online. We have special feature on Temple Records this week along with new Celtic music from Alasdair White, Black Market Haggis, The Ne'er Duwels, David Curley & Mick Broderick, Sarah Copus, Arise & Go, Battlefield Band, Mike Katz, Christine Primrose, Peter Nardini, Kellswater Bridge, Dene Foye, Eamonn Flynn, Rogue Diplomats, Plastic Paddy.
Find links to the bands in the shownotes.
I want to thank everyone who nominated us in the Podcast Awards. I should know if we're in the running around August 12th.
Thanks also to everyone who picked up the 2017 Sainted Song Henge Collection. Your generosity is overwhelming!
Solasta is raising money for their new album on Kickstarter. I should have them on the podcast next week.
Finally, Tony Becker emailed to tell me about his AmeriCeltic.net website. This website is dedicated to restore awareness, celebrate and preserve the culture and history of Celtic Americans by promoting live Celtic music, festivals, history & ancestry. I'm always impressed by individuals who promote Celtic culture. And he's doing a great thing for Northern California and beyond. Drop by the site. Then start one just like it for your area! ;)
Keep sharing your love of Celtic music!
