Dadaramdamdam! It is music shuffle time!

Oh my goodness! I remember I mentioned about featuring a free download every now and then. I have been yakking for the past few days that I have forgotten all along. This is so embarrassing. Anyway to quell your hungry ears for Celtic tunes, I am posting tracks again. This is especially for those who missed our previous edition.

“Cheers!” is our current featured band in our interview section. Please check these guys out and say hi to them.

You remember Shelta from our previous interview edition. They are from Lyon France, the food capital of the world!

Flutatious is one band I could not stop grooving to. I still have another great album from them that I will be featuring soon.

Clarity is a talent and I am glad my friend Matthew Thielker (great guy, he is a vegan, an animal lover and he runs a local cat shelter) brought this idea into an artwork.

The First Lady of Celtic Music Moya Brennan appeared in Paimpont Bretagne along with Cormac de Barra and their band. It has not been indicated the performance has something to do with the Interceltique celebration but just look at her. She’s gorgeous!
