I sent out a newsletter to wish the fans of the Brobdingnagian Bards a Happy St. Patrick’s Day. Sometimes I forget to be more specific though. I noticed after a few email questions that it sorta looked like the Brobdingnagian Bards were performing together again. Sorry. But that was a mistake. We just thought it’d […]

Celtic T-Shirts Selling Out Fast
I’ve been using the Slainte Celtic T-Shirt design for about five years now, I think. I love the design, but I decided it’s time to retire it. So I put all the shirts on clearance for just $12 until they are sold out. At present, there are only about six shirts left. So order your […]
St Patrick’s Day Playlist
One week to go until St. Patrick’s Day, and people are asking me who should be added to their own St. Patrick’s Day playlists. That’s Easy! A few weeks ago, I put together my own St Patrick’s Day Podcast playlist on iTunes. (Please click the link and rate the playlist). It features music highlighted in […]

Dragons vs. Pirates – Sea Shanty Steampunk Album Coming Soon
Tom Emerson was there with his video camera when I let the cat out of the bag on my latest Celtic Invasion of New Orleans. The “secret” was the next album by my pirate persona, “Captain Black Jack” Murphy. The album is called “Dragons vs Pirates” (or vice versa, I really haven’t decided yet). It […]
Celtic Music vs. Celtic Interviews?
While driving to Sherwood Forest Faire last week, I had one of those brainstorms. Every now and then, my mind gets uber excited with an idea, and I mull over it to decide whether I like it enough to proceed. This one I kinda do. The idea is to create a Celtic talk radio show […]
Finishing the First St. Patrick’s Day Episode of the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast
I’m just finishing up the first St. Patrick’s Day episode of the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast. Or rather refinishing it. I recorded it yesterday and then my computer crashed and all my audio files were corrupted. Grrr. But it’ll be done soon and out next Thursday. That reminds me. One of the websites I […]
“Live” by Voltaire, Recorded by Marc Gunn
I was just checking out Voltaire‘s latest catalog when I ran across this CD. Voltaire is my favorite goth/satirical musician. I love his work. A few years back, I helped bring Voltaire to Austin to perform at Elysium. It was an awesome show, and I recorded it. I was blown away a few months later […]

New Celtic Music Playlist on iTunes
It seems iTunes has ditched the term iMix in favor of Playlist. Now each playlist that you create is associated with your Ping ID. That’s ho-hum on its own, but they did add a cool feature. Now anyone who follows me on iTunes can edit add tracks to my playlist. That’s right! It’s customizable by […]
