It’s no easy task to write a drinking song of any kind. I learned by experimenting. A good drinking song is necessarily about drinking… though that helps.

Are you ready for St Patrick’s Day partying? Everyone has their list of top Irish drinking songs, and I am no exception. In my humble opinion, the best Irish drinking songs don’t have to be all about booze, but they should be a romp that you can swing your arms along with and sing along […]
One of my goals this year is to promote my local community. You’ve heard the phrase “buy local”. I also want to promote local. But what is “local”?

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 […]

Years and years ago, I was told I didn’t play Celtic music. I’ll be honest. It hurt. […]

I interviewed Vince Conaway. I’m gonna share that interview today on Celtfather Unkilted #289. I was trying to figure out how to share […]

There’s a new podcast online today. I’ll tell you more about it in a moment, after I share a postcard from Ballincollig Castle in County Cork, Ireland. There are just two more weeks until the CD Release of Selcouth. I can’t wait. I’m Really proud of the new CD. It has, like, all of my […]
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 […]
