DO YOU LIKE CELTIC MUSIC & SCIENCE FICTION?
I have a new CD of Sci F’Irish music I am raising funds for on Kickstarter. It’s called Selcouth which means, “When everything is strange and different yet you find it marvelous anyway.”
I already reached my goal. But now I’m pushing for a stretch goal. Two more songs to the final album. Embrace your strange. Make a pledge!
I added a BONUS this week. I'm gonna record a very special, intimate St Patrick's Day concert for everyone helps with this Kickstarter.
CELTIC TREE OF LIFE SHIRT

NEW SINGLE: MOLLY MALONE
My newest single came out on March 1st. It’s a recording I made with Jesse Ferguson, the Bard of Cornwall. I think it’s pretty reminiscent of Tommy Makem & The Clancy Brothers myself. But you decide for yourself.
ST PATRICK’S DAY PODCAST
Enjoy seven episodes of fun Celtic music for St Patrick’s Day.
KILKENNY, FOM THE CASTLE TO THE WITCHES' KITCHEN
Kilkenny Castle is what fairytales were written about. It has survived 800 years of change and it is the centerpiece of the town of Kilkenny. But it is by no means the only thing to see there.
There is a medieval mile that winds its way through town past shops and museums and restaurants including Kytler’s Inn, known as a Witch’s Kitchen. You see, it was owned by Alice Kytler and she was the first witch tried in Ireland. She had four husbands who all died in a curious way. And those who run Kytler’s Inn these days, say her presence is felt all the time in the 14th century pub. You can hear all about her in Episode 39 of Erin’s Isle.
A CELTIC EXPERIENCE
I know you're probably thinking about where your summer vacation will take you this year, but I am already thinking about 2021! Because A Celtic Experience 2020 sold out in record time (though I did add 3 seats so if you want to join me this year you'll find more information here) I have time to look ahead and make a few changes!
I want your input! If you are interested in traveling in Ireland with me, click the show notes to fill out this short survey!
