This is the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast #717. Today, I'm sharing the very first Highlight Reel we released over on Patreon. Highlight Reels are music-only episodes. They feature some of the best tracks, as voted on by fans of the show, from the 5-7 previous episodes. So these were all from the beginning of 2022. Patrons of the Podcast get Highlight Reels every few months. You also get Music-Only episodes every week. I won't be introducing individual songs or tunes. Instead, you can go to the shownotes at celticmusicpodcast.com to find out who's who in this episode. If you like Music-Only episodes or this Highlight Reel, make sure to join our Patrons on Patreon at songhenge.com . In fact, if you don't like this format… sign up on Patreon.

We are over halfway through the year. There are over 60 new tracks added to our Irish & Celtic Music: Best of 2022 playlists on Spotify , Amazon Music , and YouTube . It's gonna be a nightmare to cut that list down to the Top 20 this year. I want to try something new. Which hopefully will make you happy. Because you get extra podcasts that are exclusively available to patrons! I'm gonna compile Celtic Top 20 podcasts. Each episode will feature about 13 - 19 songs and tunes. I'm gonna create another poll. Your job is to listen and vote for your top 3 songs and tunes. Please include at least one vocal song and one instrumental tune. The third one can be whatever you love. Hopefully, this will help us narrow our end of year list down to the absolute Best of 2022. And as an added bonus, this one at least will be a music - only episode for everyone. Well, at least after I finish talking. VOTE IN THE CELTIC TOP 20 FOR 2022 This is our way of finding the best songs and artists each year.
