Track this topic | Email this topic | Print this topic mingkee  Posted: 20-Sep-2009, 12:05 PM An Asian Celt from Hong Kong Group: Founder Posts: 471 Joined: 28-Jan-2004 Zodiac: Rowan Realm: Brooklyn, NY Long time no see. Recently I listen to Iain Anderson from BBC Radio Scotland, perhaps Paul can get some good choice, and capture Celtic Zone (it's not easy to cap, because it depends on the stream control, I am unable to cap if the stream goes to BBC 5). Back to topic, I spend most of the time to shop Celtic and Folk at amazon.com and CDbaby. J&R (jandr.com) also has a Celtic kiosk, though the selection is not that much. -------------------- a Chinese Celt from Hong Kong                 Blackdog  Posted: 25-Sep-2009, 07:30 PM Clan Member Group: Celtic Nation Posts: 54 Joined: 19-Feb-2008 Zodiac: Willow This is a great topic, I am a full time musician and the shift in sales over the last few years has been devastating for most of us.Retail music sales are now confined to the guaranteed "Pop schlock" and "Country Pop" genres, where easy money is guaranteed. Anything outside of this is considered fringe and not profitable, so swept from the shelves. I applaud any of you who are taking the time and effort to seek out and contact musicians directly or buy off stage at the end of shows, I cannot tell you how vital this is to musician survival, sometimes the simple purchase of a cd or two is all it takes to get a musician to their next gig. Celtic music is really struggling not to get swept over by the tidal wave of "safe" sales. As are so many other genres. If you enjoy this genre, please seek out and purchase from the artists you love or go to itunes and buy the downloads. I thank any of you who will do this. check out some of our music at www.myspace.com/rantmaggierant                 irishmusicfan51  Posted: 07-Oct-2009, 03:16 PM Peasant Group: Celtic Nation Posts: 8 Joined: 26-Jan-2009 Zodiac: Willow Realm: New York The best place i've found to buy direct from the artist is on myspace.Most of the so called unknown artists will answer your messages and offer you a deal.Amazon definitely has the largest selection online.If they don't have the hard copy to sell, you can usually check the MP3 download section.The only problem is you don't get the liner notes or lyrics,etc,that you get with a hard copy. -------------------- And of all the harm i've ever done,alas it was to none but me.                 haynes9  Posted: 19-Oct-2009, 07:27 PM Celtic Guardian Group: Super Moderator Posts: 11,254 Joined: 05-Jun-2005 Zodiac: Elder Realm: Ganado, Navajo Nation, Arizona I tend also to buy form the artist's website these days. I did find a couple of gems at B & N the other day, but that was the first time in a while. One good source for music I have found is Irish Music Magazine. I subscribe to the online edition since it is more cost effective for me. They review a lot of CD's and I have discovered quite a few groups there that I was not familiar with. Got some great tunes, too! I am hoping to order more from some of these artists in the future and donate the discs to CR so we can all listen and enjoy. Have a great day! -------------------- Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost. -- John Quincy Adams Do your duty in all things.
