There is really no way for us to track how many CDs we are responsible for making a sale on, because we do not sell CDs on our site. So let's talk about what CDs you have purchased because you heard them on Highlander Radio!

Hi Macfive,

I must say I have bought way to many to count because of Highlander Radio. Where I live is very remote and there is no way I would of been able to hear or purchase such wonderful music. I think the variety of different music has really been a pleasure. I am sure to purchase more.. I must say thank you Highlander Radio.

Lemmie see what kind of list I come up with. I will list any CD here that I would not have aquired had it not been for CRN, even if it wasn't directly because of CRN. Please don't let the length of my list kill the thread. Here's a legend:

* -- purchased directly because I heard of it on CRN
+ -- Gift or similar

Emerald Rose -- Bending Tradition *
Heather Dale -- Trial of Lancelot *
Heather Dale -- May Queen *
Heather Dale -- Call the Names *
Heather Dale -- This Endris Night
Heather Dale -- Road to Santiago
Gary Stadler -- Fairy Heartmagic *
Celtic Twilight Vol 4 *
Wolfstone -- The Half Tail *
Twinflame -- In the River *
Twinflame -- Peaceful Warriors *
Twinflame -- Journey of Souls *
Smoky Finish -- Clear This Planet... Immediately *
Siúcra -- Here Among Strangers *
Silly Wizard -- Live Wizardry *
Schooner Fare -- Alive *
Schooner Fare -- Day of the Clipper *
The Ennis Sisters -- 3 *
The Ennis Sisters -- Christmas on Ennis Road
Rise -- Uncertain Wonders *
Rise -- Posing as Human +
Steve McDonald -- Sons of Somerled *
Castles of Gold *
Natalie MacMaster -- No Boundaries *
Noel Battle & David Hynes -- A Blow for Peace +
Moya Brennan -- Two Horizons *
The Bringers -- It's About Time *
Bríd Ní Mhaoíleoin -- Ar Mhúin Na Muice *
Clannad -- Banba *
Amadan -- Sons of Liberty *
Lydia McCauley -- Foreignlander *

Gaelic Storm -- Special Reserve *
Celtic Circle *
Nightwish -- Angels Fall First
Nightwish -- Century Child
Nightwish -- Wishmaster
Off Kilter -- Off Kilter+
Andrea Dale -- A Step Out of Time
Urban Tapestry -- Myths & Urban Legends

Believe me, this is far from an exaustive list of my Celtic library, and four of these CDs are not classified as Celtic in my library. I may have missed something, but don't think I did. You'll not find some of the above in the playlist. I don't doubt there's probably something on that list MacFive has never heard of, but had I not been listening to CRN, I'd never have found it.

Holy Moly!!

Aaediwen this is quite a list! But I will confess as well...the last ummm...5 cd's I've bought are all from artists I found on CR....plus I won one in the monthly contest!! So...I'll aspire to have a collection like you one day...just a matter of time oh and $$$ smile.gif

I later thought of 2 more that should be on the list. Enter the Haggis -- Casualties of Retail is one, can't remember what the other CD was. If I were really liberal with the list, I might add a few more. And if I were trying to take things literally and only list CDs I bought directly and solely because of CRN, it'd be a much shorter list

I've got to add to my Irish and Celtic Collection, and what better place to get familiar with the great artists, than here on Celitc Radio?

I've just purchased Ceann - Almost Irish, and both Amadan CDs (I even traveled 5 hours this last weekend to go see them play at the Portland Highland Games...and if it weren't for CR, I'd have never likely heard of them at all!).

There's a number more on my Favorites list that I'll be picking up in the coming months, including Runrig, Highlander, Steven McDonald, Twinflame and my new fav: St. James' Gate.

I'm truly thankful to Celtic Radio for introducing me to such a wonderful resource of music - one that I feel I have just tapped into!

I've really enjoyed listening to CR! Our girls like a lot of the music as well, and have introduced it to many of their friends. It's been received quite well, as a matter of fact laugh.gif

My Cd collection has really grown, and I've more on my list yet to buy, but here are the ones I have so far, thanks to CelticRadio! :

Loreena McKennitt: The Visit and The Book of Secrets
John Doan: Wayfarer, Eire, and (Celtic Twilight 4)Celtic Planet
Llewellyn: Celtic Legend
Celtic Journey cd
Pipin Hot cd
Afro Celt Sound System: Vol. 2 Release
Riverdance (!)
The Chieftains: The Celtic Harp
Lisa Lynne: Daughters of the Celtic Moon
Gary Stadler: Fairy of the Woods
(and most recently)
Secret Garden: Earthsongs

I've also won Marita Brake's cd The Celtic Rose from CR during one of the contests -- Thank you!!

My wish list grows every day.....
