It downloads, usually to your phone, but also to your computer or other device. To you, it will seem like it’s streaming, but it is not. A file is downloading. The file […]

Kathleen Donohoe | Atlanta Celtic Music
We are less than two weeks away from the release of my next studio album, Selcouth. “Selcouth” means, “when everything is strange and different, yet you find it marvelous anyway.” It’s a beautiful album…with a pinch of the Celtic. Years and years ago, I was told I didn’t play Celtic music. I’ll be honest. It hurt. […]

Olivia Bradley | Atlanta Celtic Music
I know very little about the Atlanta Celtic music scene. That’s one of the reasons I hired Catherine Tully to write some articles about the scene. I moved to Atlanta almost three years ago. The bands I used to know are no longer performing together. I wanted to get to know my new community. And […]
The Reel Sisters | Atlanta Celtic Music
I confess I was a bit surprised when I came to Atlanta and couldn’t find many Celtic musicians. Admittedly, I don’t fit into most Irish sessions. A singer who plays autoharp just doesn’t work great. Nevertheless, it’s important to support our local communities. It strengthens the community and brings people together. That’s even more important […]

The Future of St Patrick’s Day
I saw something interesting last year. It was about the legacy of St Patrick. I saw several memes pointing out darker side of St Patrick’s Day. I feel like a day of reckoning is coming.
