2010 Fund Raising Drive
Due to the crisis in Haiti, we have decided this year to donate $1 to the American Redcross Haiti relief effort for every donation made.
We have an immediate need to start a fund raising drive in order to make sure that we can cover our Live365 renewal costs for all of the Celtic Radio
channels. This includes Highlander Radio, Celtic Moon, Celt-Rock-Radio, BlueGrass Hills and SaltyDog Radio. Unfortunately, all 5 of these channels fees
are due in April ( Total fee for all 5 channels is $2,037!!!).
While we earned credits for the number of VIP customers that listen to our stations, we are having difficulty accumlating credits for our newer channels;
Celt-Rock-Radio, BlueGrass Hills and SaltyDog Radio. In addition, Highlander Radio has fallen a little behind this year and there is an expected deficit.
For that reason, and to cover the difference in fees versus credits, we estimate that by April we will
need to come up with Live365 renewal fees of $1,130 (Note this includes cost of fund raising books).
You can help us meet our obligations and continue all 5 of our Celtic Radio channels by making a donation using the below donate button. If you enjoy the rich
variety of Celtic music we play on all 5 of our channels, we urge you to consider a small donation. Donations can be
anything from $5 or $10 to more. If your donation is
atleast $30, you will be eligible to receive one of our Celtic Radio donation gifts below. Simply include your mailing address with your donation.
Watch this page for our special donation thermometer! As donations are made, the total current donations will be displayed here. Make sure to click the "return
to Celtic Radio" button on the donation page so your donation is credited to our goal. Thanks again for all of your support of our site and broadcasts!
We have 33 donations so far!

Clans & Tartans of Scotland & Ireland
The history of the clans reaches back into the mists of antiquity. On the strength of a surname alone, families can claim kinship with people who existed a thousand years ago. The origins of the distinctive cloth patterns collectively known as tartan are, however, shrouded in controversy. Tartans are now inextricably linked with the story of the clans and are the most evocative symbol of the clan, as well as of Scotland. While kilts have been worn in Ireland as long as they have in Scotland, they were of plain cloth in shades of green, brown, or yellow. Tartan was once a uniquely Scottish phenomenon, though it has spread to Ireland as well as other parts of the world relatively recently.
Clans & Tartans includes over 300 tartans, their derivation and ancestry, and a short history of the clan associated with them. They are listed alphabetically in an easy-to-use format with sections for both Scottish and Irish clans and tartans. Discover the proud traditions of Scotland’s and Ireland’s clans in this beautifully illustrated and informative book.

Decoding the Celts
"Decoding the Celts outlines the extensive legacy that the Celtic tradition has left to the modern world and how wide-reaching its influence has been. Celtic culture spread from Central Europe to establish itself in Britain, Ireland, Brittany, and Spain. Recent discoveries even show the presence of Celtic peoples in China over 2,500 years ago. In the last three centuries the descendants of the Celts have spread worldwide.
Claire Hamilton and Steve Eddy show how the Celtic legacy extends beyond the more obvious areas of poetry, song, storytelling, and art into spirituality, divination, heroic struggle, and the role of women. At a practical level, we can see how it has influenced national identities and the Western legal system. Living in today’s materialistic, capitalist societies, we still have much to learn from the balanced and harmonious approach to life of the Celts.

The Crusades
The Crusades: History and Myths Revealed!
For almost two hundred years, from 1095, the Crusades raged on and off dramatically ending with the fall of Acre in 1291, leaving us with some of the most striking images of the Middle Ages. This was the period that saw the birth and dominance of the Knights Templar, The Hospitallers and the Teutonic Knights and also gave rise to such legendary figures as Saladin and Richard the Lionheart.
It was a period when enormous Christian armies, spurred on by an explosive mixture of religious fervour and a greed for treasure, waged war across much of the Middle East, the eventual result of which was paradoxically to see large tracts of Europe fall under Muslim rule for centuries.
The Crusades clearly explains the consequences of those great battles of the Middle Ages; both for those involved and for us today as the aftershocks of those monumental two centuries echo across time and history shaping relationships between Christians and Muslims to this day.
