2nd Annual
Celtic Music Awards
The Celtic MP3s Music Magazine, the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast, and the Brobdingnagian Bards are pleased to announce the winners of the 2nd Annual Celtic Music Awards for 2006. These performers were voted on by you, the Celtic music fan.
In 2005, only the top 10 Celtic music groups, by your votes, were counted. This year, I decided to expand the voting opportunities by allowing you to vote for your favorite group in different Celtic music genres. See who the winners were in the 2005 Celtic Music Awards. Then don't forget to buy Celtic CDs from CDBaby and Amazon.
