Over the past few months I have acquired some really great music and it's time to unleash it onto your awaiting earholes! Hope you have been as anxious as me to be rocked cause its about to start now!

As an added bonus you will find a short interview that I had with Nico and the rest of the folks from Celkilt back at ShamrockFest back in March of this year.

So what you have here is the accumulation of some of the best Celtic Rock and Punk from across the planet. Use it as guide, use it as a soundtrack, use it for anything you like just enjoy it! And make sure you get your arses out to some festivals this summer!

Welcome to my 3rd Annual St Patrick's Day podcast.. This year I thought long and hard on how to approach it and I decided to go with all traditional music for this years Podcast. We have some old fellas doing their own songs, some young fellas paying the proper respects and some other fellas blazing new trails to what I feel is pretty damn close to traditional songs. What you have is just over 45 songs, and anout 3 hours of songs about love, lust, longing for home, being broke, being beaten and never giving up..! Welcome Irish History 101. With it being so close to Easter I have hidden an Easter Egg in my Podcast, first person to find my mistake and email it to me will win a brand spanking new Grinning Beggar Podcast T-Shirt - the address is grinningbeggar@yahoo.com.

What a year 2012 was... Some of us saw victory, other defeat. Some saw new highs, while other hit bottom. Without a doubt the year was tumultuous in nearly all aspects from politics to weather but if you are reading this now you made it, just like me.

Now for the next 2 hours I ask that we look past all of this and examine how truly great of a year 2012 was for Celtic Music. There were numerous releases last year, and a large number of them were brilliant. Sadly not all found their way into my hands, but the ones that did.. WOW

Let me say, this list is really only ordered by default. The margin between #1 and #15 is so small that it practically doesn't count. Every single band on this list got the job done and made it look easy.

My thanks to all of you for making 2012 that much easier to say I made it!!

This is the Grinning Beggar's Best of 2012

Back in October 2012 saw A Band of Rogues at the Trenton Irish Festival in New Jersey. After the set they afforded me a few minutes to tell me about the band, its history their directions and what it's like coming up in such a musically diverse city as NYC.

Hope you enjoy the insight into some the most humble and likeable bunch of folks from what is unquestionably one of the best bands from The Big Apple. I would expect to see some big things from A Band of Rogues in the future.

Also don't forget the Breezy Point Benefit Show:

Sot his year I picked out some old favorites, some requests and threw in a healthy smattering of new stuff and whamo you got an hour long Christmas Podcast.. All thing considered I will even be listening to this tomorrow !

Merry Christmas Everyone !

For quite some time I have raving about the awesome Celtic Music coming out of Australia. Then back in March 2012 I was able to sit down with some of the folks from The Ramshackle Army, that's when this podcast came to a head.

After a lot of correspondence, much consideration and tons of listening and you have this... 2.5 hours of the best Celtic Music from Australia. This is not the definitive collect, but only scratching the surface. Look for a sequel in the future!

Special thanks goes out to Gaz, Kat, Adrian and the rest of The Ramshackle Army, John Meyer from The Goodship, Mark Lewis from Handsome Young Strangers, Troy Zarb & Crystal Moloney from Scarlet's Revenge, Di Tatlock and The Go Set, James from Bellyache Ben and the Steamgrass Boys, Looey from Jack Flash, Jay from Between the Wars and The Celtic Folk Punk Blog Site. Sorry if I have forgotten anyone as there are MANY people that deserve a proper thanks.

Hope you all enjoy this beast, it was a blast putting it all together sorry it took so long.

Cheers,

Phil AKA The Grinning Beggar

What a crazy ass week it has been.. Cinco De Mayo, 31st Anniversary of the death of Bobby Sands and the passing of MCA from the Beastie Boys. Some ups, some downs and I am sure there are some who gives a shits in there too...

Regardless, it was time to throw out a new Podcast, and being a child of the 80's the Beastie Boys had a huge impact on my musical tastes growing up.

So this episode is dedicated to MCA and all the doors he opened and all the people he has influenced and inspired. Much like his freestylin way of making music, I am freestylin my way through the world Celtic music, anything goes today folks..!

Sit back and enjoy this romp and remember, life it too short to walk through it with blinders on.

On Friday April the 13th The Punkbillys sat down with yours truly to talk about their album, beer goggles, drinking and driving and a plethora of other things. During the course of the interview many beers were ingested and the Podcast became a drunken train wreck. What you have here is the vestiges of that great night.

Strap yourselves in and get ready for The Grinning Beggars first Live In-Studio guests. This episode includes an arse load of killer songs and some CD giveaways.

Thanks to Jay for helping out and the Punkabillys for showing up. And as always for listening, feedback can be and should be sent to grinningbeggar@yahoo.com

This is the Grinning Beggar's 2nd annual St. Patrick's Day Podcast. Not only is it designed to assist you in enjoying the holiday itself, but it's bloody long enough to get you there as well...!

Tried to stick to a little more traditional music this year, not to say it's all a buncha geezers singing about the old days, there are a number of young fellas doin' the same shite! But fear not, I have thrown in a handful of drinkin' tunes and a special birthday request for one of the Beggar's Fans.

So go grab yourself a cold pint, or warm if you prefer and enjoy this beastly Podcast aptly named "The Massive St. Patrick's Day Spectacular".

Slainte !
