The first ever CelticRadio.net Song of the Year will be named on January 1, 2005.
Voting will be done by our community polling system and we will have about 5 songs to choose from.
I'd like to take some recommendations here for songs to be nominated to this award. We will send a award certificate to the winning artist (hey we're on a low budget!). I have a few in mind, but would like to get everyone's thoughts and recommendations.
The song does not have to be released in 2005, but should be a recent song that is played on Highlander Radio. I am thinking no more than 10 years in the past. I am putting such a broad range of years because old songs are sometimes discovered by new listeners!
Voting will begin on December 1st, 2005 until December 31st, 2005 at 11:59 p.m. EST.
If I had to pick 5 songs they would be (in no particular order) and picking only 5 songs is a tough one!
1. Send Me A Song - Celtic Woman (David Downey/Lisa Kelly) 2. Erin Gra Mo Chroi [Ireland Love of My Heart] - Cherish the Ladies 3. My Heart Belongs To You - Hayley Westenra {best new artist maybe?} 4. Drink the Night Away - Gaelic Storm 5. South Australia - Gaelic Storm

I think thats a great idea mac. my vote is for 'Geraldines wishing on Galway' of course thats because the only place i can find that song is on highlander radio. oh and some guy wants to sell the cd its on on amazon for 95 dollars. its a great song but not that great, hopefully cdbaby will get it in sometime soon.

The peculiar evil of silencing the expression of an opinion is, that it is robbing the human race; posterity as well as the existing generation; those who dissent from the opinion, still more than those who hold it. If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth: if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error. ~John Stuart Mill, On Liberty, 1859
Education: that which reveals to the wise, and conceals from the stupid, the vast limits of their knowledge. ~Mark Twain
