SUPPORT CELTIC CULTURE THROUGH KICKSTARTER

We launched a brand new campaign on Kickstarter. The goal is to fund a new Album Pin for The Secret World of Celtic Rock. This is a compilation CD we originally released in 2005 featuring some of the best Celtic Rock of the time. And the album is timeless.

You can own an enamel pin with this year’s beautiful Celtic Earth Knotwork. Or you can own a physical copy of the CD. Plus there are many more rewards.

Go celticmusic.org/celticrock that’ll take you straight over to our Kickstarter page where you can support Celtic culture through music.
