Austin, TX - For five years, the Celtic MP3s Music Magazine has been the leader of hottest new Irish/Celtic music online by featuring free music downloads from Celtic bands.

The Celtic MP3s Music Magazines began as a newsletter linked mainly to MP3.com. It was a way to promote publisher, Marc Gunn's band, the Brobdingnagian Bards.

"Then, something amazing happened," says Gunn. I heard some of the best Celtic music I'd ever heard. And it was unaffiliated with any record label. From that point on I decided to help these great Celtic music groups find an audience."

Since then, the Celtic MP3s Music Magazine has featured CDs and MP3s from bands like Enya, Black 47, Natalie MacMaster, Silly Wizard, The Chieftains, Brobdingnagian Bards, Altan, Loreena McKennit, Clannad, The Dubliners, Lunasa, The Corries, Solas, U2, Planxty, The Clancy Brothers, Afro Celt Sound System, Capercaillie, Ewan MacColl, The Corrs, Irish Rovers, Seven Nations, Tannahill Weavers, and many more.

The vast majority of the music is Independent Celtic music from traditional Irish music and tunes to Scottish folk songs, Celtic rock to a tiny bit of Celtic New Age music.

With well-over 6,000 subscribers to the weekly ezine, the Celtic MP3s Music Magazine is the headquarters for free independent Celtic music online.
