CELTIC MUSIC NEWS
=========================

Greetings Celtic Music Lovers,

Once again, it's been a while since I've written. During that
time, I jumped head first into my new Irish & Celtic Music
Podcast which is now going out twice a month with over 4,000
downloads of each show.

Yet, in my excitement to start promoting bands in the podcast,
I forgot to mention something important to my readers…

ANNOUNCING THE 1ST ANNUAL CELTIC MUSIC AWARDS!
http://www.celticmp3s.com/awards/
I started the Celtic Music Awards in the middle of last month.
The goal is to give Celtic music groups the recognition they
deserve. But to make a difference I need your input.

Do you have a favorite group(s)?
Go to the website and vote for them.
If you have a friend that likes your favorite band, email them
too. Tell them to go to the website and vote.
If you're in a band, tell your fans to vote for you.

The voting process ends on January 31st. Once it's over, I will
compile the results. I will contact any winners from whom I need
music. At the beginning of March, I will host a show featuring
all the winners!

VOTE FOR US IN THE AUSTIN MUSIC POLL
http://thebards.net/links/Austin_Chronicle_Poll.shtml
The Austin Music Poll also finishes up on January 31st. Since the
Brobdingnagian Bards are not eligible to win in the Celtic Music
Awards, please help show your support for us and also for my Irish
& Celtic Music Podcastd by voting for us in the Austin Music Poll.
You don't have to be from Austin to vote.

Thank you!

THE AMAZING RETURN OF CELTIC STONE
http://celticstone.4celts.com/
The former Celtic giant of the Renaissance festival music
circuit is back, well sort of. With the help of my record label,
Mage Records, we are re-releasing their last CD called Digital
Flashbacks. This CD features music from their many no longer
available albums.
