"Black Is the Color" Climbs the Charts

Marc Gunn's latest single, "Black Is the Color of My True Love's Hair" is climbing the charts on SoundClick's Traditional Celtic charts. The song was the second release from Gunn's latest CD, "Irish Drinking Songs: The Cat Lover's Companion". The first single released was "Black Velvet Band" which is holding steady at #2 on the Traditional Irish Charts of SoundClick.

The album will be officially released on CD on June 6th. Listen and download the song through Marc Gunn's website at SoundClick.

Irish Drinking Songs: The Cat Lover's Companion Ordered

Marc Gunn's new CD Irish Drinking Songs: The Cat Lover's Companion is now in production. With any luck, we'll have it in time for the June 1st release, but I'm guessing it won't in fact be ready until June 6th, when Gunn leaves for the Brobdingnagian Bards trip to Ireland.

The Ireland trip will be followed up by a brief vacation of Europe that may include England, The Netherlands, Germany, and Italy. The exact information is still unknown. But Gunn expects at least one gig in Italy, followed by busking in other places as he is able.

A Celtic Renaissance Wedding One of Top 10 New Age CDs

I just noticed that our CD, A Celtic Renaissance Wedding, is the one of the Top 10 Most-Popular Celtic New Age CDs on CD Baby at #6. It is also listed as the Editor's Pick of great CDs there. Considering it has twice been one of the Top 100 CDs sold in their annual poll and the number of outstanding reviews for this album, it is no great surprise.

A Celtic Renaissance Wedding was first released in 2003 as a compilation of romantic Celtic and Renaissance love songs for fans of the Brobdingnagian Bards and for couples getting married. The low price has made it a huge success over other Celtic wedding CDs.
