17 for St. Patrick's Day
Greetings
I want to hear you rave about the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast during this most-Celtic of holiday months. That's why each of the next three episodes will get longer and longer, culminating in 2-hours of St. Patrick's Day music.
But first, enjoy 17 songs for St Patrick's Day with music from We Banjo 3, The Here & Now, Hugh Morrison, Leaping Lulu, Vicki Swan & Jonny Dyer, Jed Marum, The Selkie Girls, Poitin, Shillelagh!, The Wee Heavies, The Gothard Sisters, SeaStar, Skeleton McKee, Dave Wilson & Willie B, O'Hanlons Horsebox, Ren, Sons of Malarkey, The Prodigals. Read shownotes here.
If you want some more great Celtic music for the holiday AND want to support the podcast, please buy one of our compilation CDs. They feature many of the awesome bands and songs you've heard on the show.
Alternatively, you can buy my albums. Here are my more Celtic albums: Name On My Soul, Not Every Day Is St. Patrick's Day, Scottish Songs of Drinking & Rebellion, How America Saved Irish Music and St. Patrick's Day Songs for Kids. Or if you like funny music, check out my Irish Drinking Songs for Cat Lovers series.
Last, you can hear me perform at on Sunday, March 12th for my St Patrick's Day Music Smackdown on Concert Window. Sign up to my mailing list for details.
Thanks for supporting independent Celtic music. Slainte!
