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

Happy New Year!

Did ye miss me? Well, MP3.com is no more, but I've moved on. The
CelticMP3s.com website is newly setup, and I've tried to kill as
many of the dead MP3.com links as possible. There are still a few
left, but I'll get 'em.

Meanwhile, I've been hunting down more MP3s and working out other
options for radio and what not. Still don't have it all together,
but I found a couple-a great MP3s on Amazon.com.

I also refinished "Soul of a Harper", my solo CD and it sounds
great. It's already been picked by one radio show as the best CD
for 2003. I even put together a special deal for Celtic MP3s
subscribers. Imagine my CD, plus an eBook of Celtic poetry and
more for just $7.95! http://www.celticmp3s.com/thankyou.shtml

This is good for a limited time.
So get your copy today!

Meanhile, keep your eyes and ears open for some more great
Celtic music in the coming weeks!

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

"The Blackbird" by Eileen Hadidian

Eileen Hadidian has appeared in concert throughout the Western
United States. She is the founder as well as artistic director
of Hausmusik, an early music concert series in Albany, CA. Her
involvement with music for healing grew out of her own experience
with breast cancer, in 1994 and again in 1997. She used music
for her own healing, and began to play for other cancer patients.
She has been exploring ways in which music can be used to help
soothe critically and chronically ill people.

"Soul of a Harper" by Marc Gunn
http://www.celticmp3s.com/Soul_Of_A_Harper.shtml

Listen to Parting Glass
http://www.soundclick.com/util/streamM3U.m3u?ID=720881&q=Lo

Soul of a Harper features music recorded by Marc in between
Brobdingnagian Bards albums from 2000-2003. It features his
beautiful vocal balladry and unique style of autoharping. Warm
and quieting with a touch of bardic fun, Soul of a Harper captures
the feel of a traditional harper with an autoharp. Just a week
after it was released, it was chosen by Austin radio's Celtic
Storm as one of the best Celtic albums of 2003.
