1. Celtic Music News
=========================

Slainte! Over the past couple weeks, I've been busy putting
together a brand new compilation CD that I'm very proud of. It's
called "Coventina's Well" and features a wonderful mix of twelve
Celtic songs and tunes from a bunch of artists on MP3.com.

You may've seen it already, but it's now up and it's on sale until
next week. Please help out the artists by ordering a copy. This
is a great way to shoot the music up the charts and gain greater
exposure for these fine artists.


As for last issue's question about a paid subscription, that's
become somewhat irrelevant thanks to Google Adsense's new
advertising program. You can see the ads on another new page I
setup dedicated to promoting the compilation CD artists. It's
at http://www.celticmp3s.com/help/ . A special thanks goes out
to Jen Clower-Brown who provided the artwork for "Coventina's
Well" and also designed the t-shirts that will be coming soon.

Oh, and let's not forget to mention that this CD is a non-profit
CD benefitting the Austin Celtic Association. So your money will
be well-spent with great music and helping out an organization
dedicated to promoting the Celtic culture in Central Texas.

2. Celtic Music Band Feature #1
http://www.celticmp3s.com/bands/
=========================

"Baidin Fheidhlimidh" by Nancy Daily-Green
http://www.celticmp3s.com/cgi-bin/mp3/songurl.cgi?
SongID=3343597&FI=lo

Celebrating Irish and Celtic traditions through music, songs,
stories, and games. "singing, dancing, everywhere" the new album
issued by Nancy Daily-Green is certainly the most objective
release to come on the market in the last half century. Aimed as
it is at the younger generation of Irish music lovers, it serves
as an ideal introduction to perhaps the greatest folk music the
world knows.

Not often I find great traditional Celtic songs, but a couple
years ago, I met Nancy Daily-Green. I talked to Nancy recently.
She was telling me about her trip to Ireland where she was able
to find several of absolute gems that she put on her new album.
"Baidin Fheidhlimidh" is one such gem. Not only is it great
Irish song sung in Irish gaelic, but like much of her music it
is something that is just enjoyable by children as adults.
