Well ladies and gentlemen it would appear that Christmas is only a few short weeks away. Christmas time means many things to people; for some its a joyous occasion while for others it brings sadness.
Whatever the effect, I am not here to try to convince you otherwise. I am here to provide you with some really great Christmas music.. And in true Beggar fashion I have done this and in doing so covered the spectrum. So this my friends is my final gift of 2013 for you, my 3rd Annual Celtic Christmas Podcast stuffed full on songs about drinking, thinking, being broke, cold and alone, songs about Jesus and Angels and Joy. We have some Celtic Punk, some Bagpipes, some Scottish, some Irish and even some Galacian (look it up!), even some Japanese.
With that being said, let this Podcast give you what you whatever need to get through this Christmas season and into the New Year safely and smiling. Thank you for all of your continued support and kind words through the year and I will see you in 2014 with some Rad new tricks!
This Podcast is being dedicated to Jimmys Pub, my Aunt Marie (RIP) who kept the spirit of Christmas alive and my long time friend Scott. DSG if it were not for you I'd have lost the spirit long ago. Thanks for keeping the faith !
Slainte ~ Phil
