Unfortunately, some interesting CDs didn’t make the album’s list, since there were only 40 places. Anyway, several songs from those CDs are being played regularly at Celtic Folk Punk Radio.
Regarding compilation albums, remember that our friend from Russia Vladimir Andreevich released a kick-ass Tribute to The Pogues double album featuring 27 bands (and it’s free).
Thanks again to all the bands for sending their stuff and special thanks to my mates Phil (PaddyRock) and Mark (London Celtic Punks) for their friendship and support.
