Texas Scottish Festival & Highland Games
It's also a Celtic non-profit. I think this is the second time I've donated some of the money I've earned from the podcast to the Texas Scottish Festival.
If you didn't know, I donate a percentage of all compilation CD sales and Patreon donations to Celtic non-profits. I need to update my donation numbers, but I believe I've donated over $28,000. And more will come.
That's one of the reasons I decided to highlight artists performing at the Texas Scottish Festival this year. You'll hear amazing Celtic music from Battlefield Band, Tullamore, Scotland Rising, Ed Miller, Willow and Her Giant, Jed Marum, Jil Chambless & Scooter Muse, The Selkie Girls, Reel Treble Band , Seamus Stout, Madi Davis, Skeleton McKee, Cleghorn, Murder the Stout, Jiggernaut. Check out the shownotes for links to bands.
Thank you for supporting the podcast with your contributions. And if you go to the festival, look for my free bumper stickers. There's a limited number available. Have fun. Slainte!
