When I got a link request from Irish Music Forever last spring, I thought it was just a link hog site, another internet marketer trying to capitalize on Irish music popularity. I was wrong.
Yes. It is obviously run by a marketer, but the content is solid. Pat Kehoe is writing and acquiring great articles about Irish musicians and music. It has song lyrics and chords, videos, features on Irish songwriters and bands, Irish history, festivals and more. It's well organized and has a lot of great content… and it's growing.
Every week, there's something new an interesting to read about. The latest article features Arlene Faith, an indie Celtic music artist who I've featured on my Irish & Celtic Music Podcast. She has top-notch fiddle music, and again totally indie, which I love to see.
So amidst very informative articles about The Chieftains, Celtic Tenors, and The Dubliners, you'll find some indie Celtic gems, like this article.
So my hat goes off to Irish Music Forever for making a resource well worth adding to your RSS Reader like I did.
