Will You Help Us Top the Celtic Charts?

May 7th, 2012

Celtic Music CD Store, in conjunction with the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast, is proud to release a brand new CD of Irish Celtic Music.

The CD is released under the name Marc Gunn’s Irish & Celtic Music Podcast. It is a new compilation to promote the award-winning, hit podcast, plus the incredible music of two of the podcast’s most-amazing bands: Poitin and FIMM.

I can’t say enough great things about these two bands. They have some absolutely brilliant music! Neither is signed to a record label. Neither are from the U.S.. Poitin is an awesome, award-winning group from the Czech Republic. FIMM is an incredible, all-female group from Rome, Italy.
