Free Irish Music Downloads

I keep forgetting to mention that I setup a new website for Free Irish Music Downloads. This is the new home that was once just Celtic MP3s from the Celtic MP3s Music Magazine. No longer.

This is gonna be the home of all the best free music downloads of Irish/Celtic music. Celtic music fans will be really happy methinks.

Hopefully, in the very near future, I will get some bigger names on the site as well. The page focuses mostly on independent Celtic music, but the bigger names attract a wider variety of Celtic music fans.

If you're not familiar with the Celtic MP3s Music Magazine, here are some facts from the website homepage.
The Celtic MP3s Music Magazines began as a newsletter linked mainly to MP3.com. It was a way to promote my band's (the Brobdingnagian Bards) unique brand of Celtic folk music. Then, something amazing happened. I heard some of the best Celtic music I'd ever heard. And it was unaffiliated with any record label. From that point on I decided to help these great Celtic music groups find an audience.

Since then, I have featured CDs and MP3s from bands like Enya, Black 47, Natalie MacMaster, Silly Wizard, The Chieftains, Brobdingnagian Bards, Altan, Loreena McKennit, Clannad, The Dubliners, Lunasa, The Corries, Solas, U2, Planxty, The Clancy Brothers, Afro Celt Sound System, Capercaillie, Ewan MacColl, The Corrs, Irish Rovers, Seven Nations, Tannahill Weavers, and many more.

But the vast majority of what you download is Independent Celtic music from traditional Irish music and tunes, Scottish folk songs, Celtic rock, and a tiny bit of Celtic New Age music. However, the ezine leans more towards the traditional Scottish/Irish folk music that I love.
And let's not forget a couple testimonies from adoring fans of the newsletter:
"I just wanted to say thanks for Celtic MP3 Music Magazine. I'm very happy with the songs I've downloaded so far - in fact I'm thrilled that most of them have been of such high calibre! Some really great songs and artists! And in case you're wondering if it's having much effect on CD sales, I can tell you I've already bought 2 CDs based on the music I've heard through your magazine. Thanks again, and please keep up the good work!"

All in all, I have a good 6,000 subscribers who LOVE the magazine with a passion. Subscribe and see what you think!
