Help Victims of Irish Music Top the Charts… Again

I just published a “Where are they now?” article about Victims of Irish Music.  I first released the album in 2006.  It continues to be one of my top-selling albums.  But every year around St. Patrick’s Day, it drops on the charts as new albums are released.  That’s fine, but I want to see it […]
