17 Free St. Patrick’s Day MP3s for 2009

Every year for St. Patrick’s Day, I compile a new list of St Patrick’s Day MP3 downloads that are 100% free and legal. Many of these artists are played regularly in the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast. And ALL of these artists were generous enough to offer their music for a brand compilation CD entitled the Best of the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast.

This compilation CD benefits the podcast as well as a Celtic non-profit. I’ve donated over $6,000 to Celtic non-profits around the United States. So when you buy a CD, you support both this podcast and your fellow Celts.

But please don’t stop there!

The main point of this compilation and these free MP3s is to help promote independent Celtic music. If you find an artist that you really love on this compilation, then head over to the artist website, drop them an email to let them know you found them through the CD. Then buy their CD.

While you’re at it, if you want to find out what it’s like getting an annual subscription to Song Henge, you’ll get a good idea when you download this free zip file of 17 Free St Patrick’s Day MP3s for 2009.
