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

Greetings Celtic Music Lovers,

Was March a wild month for everyone or just me? What with
St. Patrick's Day, podcasts, and gigs, I was swamped. But I am
pleased to announce that the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast did, in
fact, climb to the #1 spot of iTunes music podcasts and stayed in
the top five all month. There are over 10K subscribers and forty
thousands downloads of each show. One listener played the podcast
in a St. Patrick's Day parade. Too cool! I want to thank all of
you for more making it #1!

One thing I found that was fascinating last month was CD sales
were down. Last year, my indie label, Mage Records sold twice as
many CDs. So I'm still waiting for the iTunes results to come in
to see if there were significantly greater sales of digital music.

Undaunted by lower physical sales, I'm pleased to announce that
"Victims of Irish Music", my new Celtic compilation of Irish
instrumentals is now at last available on CD Baby. And it should
be up on iTunes any day now.

Meantime, I have several new MP3s for you listed below. I hope you
enjoy the music and if so, please rememeber to support independent
bands that you love by buying their music when you can.

Slainte!

NEWS for SONG HENGE MEMBERS
http://www.songhenge.com/
Song Henge earned quite a few new lifetime subscribers last month
before I instituted a new annual service at a reduced rate. It's
no where near as cool as a lifetime subscription, but for those
who want to try it out. It's a great option.

And I just posted the MP3s from March. Whoa! Was there a lot of
music! You're gonna love the submissions.
