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

Greetings Celtic Music Lovers,

I love it when I'm working at a festival or something and some
complete stranger walks up to me and says, "Hey! Thanks for sending
me free downloads every month". That happened this weekend from a
reader of the Celtic MP3s Music Magazine.

It made me feel nice. I love sharing music. I love helping bands.
And I love to know that you are getting something valuable out of
the work I do on- and offline.

To the end of helping bands, I started something new. It's called
Top The Charts. The plan is to help an independent Celtic artist
climb to the top of the charts on iTunes.

What's it about? I would like you to go to the Top The Charts
website at the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast website and purchase
an MP3 on the 15th of every month. By doing so, we will send one
Celtic artist to Top the Charts. It will only cost you 99 cents.
So I hope you'll help this month's Chart Topper--Cady Finlayson.

Speaking of independent Celtic groups, don't forget to check out
"Victims of Irish Music". That is my latest Celtic compilation
of instrumental Celtic music. You can read the many glowing
reviews about it at CD Baby.

OFF TO IRELAND TOMORROW
The biggest news for me is that tomorrow, June 6th, I will be
on a plane to Ireland. The Brobdingnagian Bards vacation tour
starts this week. Wow! I'm barely ready, but I wanted to get
this newsletter out before I left.

I also wanted to let you know that my latest solo CD is out.
It's called "Irish Drinking Songs: The Cat Lover's Companion".
The album features all the original Irish songs that I parodied
on my CD, "Irish Drinking Songs for Cat Lovers".

I was hoping to do some big promotion to see if I could push
this CD up the charts by having you purchase the album on June
6th, the official release date. I haven't done nearly as much
promotion as I had hoped. But if you enjoy this magazine, my
music, or any of my other projects promoting Celtic music, I
hope you'll consider picking up an album or two. They make
great gifts. ;)
