Looking for recommendations
I am always looking for recommendations of bands I have overlooked. Many of the pieces you hear are from listener suggestions.
And of course, if you have your own Celtic band and want me to feature your material, I am definately open to bribary, usually in the form of flattery. I just added three tracks from a New York band called Repercussion, simply by seeing their entry on my Frapper map!
I am also looking for simple promotional ideas as well. If you have a band, make an announcment at your concerts, and I could probably supply some simple handouts.

yes, i’m an iTune listener. When you got dumped, i frantically searched the internet, and with a bit of investigation, found you here. This is the ONLY music I listen to other than my own. Love your celtic mix and have found lots of new music because of you. My favorite is AfroCelt. I have one for you. Albannach. Only one CD that I can find but it’s good. They played at a local highland festival and were excellent. Don’t know why they don’t have more music out. You might even be able to download some songs from their web site.
Keep up the great music!

I am not sure French songs would have a lot of fans? But there is a very famous Breton group (they have been playing for 30 years now) called TriYann (= the Three Johns, Yann being Jean in French being John in English).
They sing in French and also in Breton langage. I am not even sure you can get their music in the US. But they are definitely a reference for Breton music in France. They mix trad music with some more modern instruments, but it’s definitely more traditional than modern.
