About this episode
People often associate St. Patrick's Day as a time for Irish drinking songs and green beer. However, it all starts as a kid. I recorded an album of St. Patrick's Day Songs for Kids because I wanted to celebrate the children who find their love of Celtic music through the holiday. This week, I'm gonna share my new album of Celtic kids songs in its entirety, plus a great Irish Celtic songs and tunes from Keltic Kudzu, Sharon Shannon, Nancy Daily Green, Culann's Hounds, Sarah Dinan, FiddleSticks, Ed Miller, Marc Gunn If you enjoy this show, then subscribe to our Celtic Music Magazine.
