TOP 10 CELTIC BANDS FOR ST PATRICK'S DAY
Very soon, you will start reading articles about what Celtic bands and artists you should listen to for St Patrick's Day. Those lists all lean towards Irish bands. Not necessarily Celtic ones. They also miss out on a HUGE selection of amazing bands who get missed. So I decided to compile my own list.
We’re counting down the top 10 Celtic bands you want to listen to for St Patrick’s Day 2021. Plus music from We Banjo 3, Lissa Schneckenburger, Screaming Orphans.
PS. Don't miss my concert tonight at 8 PM Eastern. All of my patrons get to watch this show. Join my Gunn Runners Club on Patreon.
