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

Greetings Celtic Music Lovers,

I want to take a moment to thank everyone who signed up to the Irish
& Celtic Music Podcast last month. I was astounded to see it climb
to #23 on the iTunes Music Podcast Charts. That is just awesome.
Thank you!

It also got me thinking. Podcasting is a relatively new forum. It
was only a year and a half ago when the Celtic Music News Podcast
first started up. And maybe a year before that before podcasting
was first catching the public's eye.

With a new forum like this, there is a great opportunity to make
a difference. So I want to pump up the promotion for the show. If
you have a website or a blog, please do me a small favor. Add the
following link to your website and ask others to do the same

<a href="http: //www.celticmusicpodcast.com/">Irish & Celtic
Music Podcast</a>

While the number of Celtic podcasts are growing (I invited the
Celtic Folk Music Podcast to the Celtic Podcasters Network just
this week), we still have a long way to go. I currently have
over 3,000 regular subscribers according to feedburner. That
equates to over 13,000 downloads of each show according to libsyn.
I want to see if I can turn that 3,000 into 10,000.

Imagine for a moment opening iTunes and looking at the Music
Podcast Top 100 and seeing the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast at #1.
#1 over NPR's All Songs Considered. #1 over MTV News or eve iTunes
News Music Podcast. We can make the podcasting world take a second
glance at Irish music that it won't soon forget.

So please take a moment to Subscribe to the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast

Oh! And if you aren't subscribed to my Pub Songs Podcast, I restarted it.
It's format has changed into my own personal podcast. But in every show
you will hear a good pub song with which you can sing-a-long.

Many thanks for your continue support of the Celtic MP3s Music
Magazine and Celtic music in general. Slainte!
- Marc Gunn, Bard
