The Irish & Celtic Music Podcast is a proud sponsor of the IrishFest Atlanta. The festival takes place November 4 - 5, 2022. It celebrates the culture of Ireland through traditional music, song, dance and language. Last week, I featured one of the headliners performing at the festival, Altan. Later on in the show, I’ll feature another band that’s performing this year.

Tickets are now on sale for the festival. You can see a list of performance times and workshops on the festival website at IrishFestAtlanta.org.

A big thanks to all of our Patrons. A portion of the money you pledge to this podcast helps sponsor IrishFest Atlanta.

Two weeks after the episode is launched, I compile the latest Celtic Top 20 votes to update a playlist on Spotify, Amazon Music, and YouTube. These are the results of your voting. You can help these artists out by following the playlists and adding tracks you love to your playlists. Subscribe to our newsletter to find out who was added this week.
