Halfway to St. Patrick's Day
Greetings my friends
September 17th marks the halfway point to St. Patrick's Day 2016. So last week, I released my Halfway to St. Patrick's Dayepisode. If you haven't listened yet, go listen on the website or on iTunes.
I want to thank everyone who responded to my question a few weeks back about whether you liked the New Celtic CDs feature. I think it is my favorite feature of this newsletter. So it will continue in each edition, except those that highlight Kickstarters, as usual. You'll also see more New Celtic CDs on the website. I plan to move that to a twice a week feature in the coming weeks.
Oh! And also a big thanks to everyone who is sending feedback about WHERE you are listening to this podcast. That is Extra cool to hear and SEE! The pictures rock. So thank you.
And thanks again for supporting indie Celtic music.
Slainte!
Marc Gunn, The Celtfather
