A Semi-Celtic Christmas #127

12/05/13 • 19 min

I love Celtic Christmas music about as much as I love classic Christmas music. The holidays are upon us. I'm in the Christmas spirit. I also need to start practicing for this year's Christmas show here in Birmingham when I perform at The Summit Christmas Market in about a week and a half. I have a lot of songs I need to work on, including some new Celtic Christmas songs. Oh! Then there's that hobbit Christmas song. Hmm. I have a lot of work to do. In the meantime, I thought I'd share my Celtic Christmas practice session with you.

For the final Pub Songs Podcast of the year, I wanted to bring you some more Christmas music. This is not as much Celtic Christmas music as just some good Christmas standards. Well, except for the new Hobbit Christmas song. Is that the first ever? Boh!? Anyway, I want to wish you all a very happy and joyous Christmas.
