1) Could you please upload this album "xxxx - xxx"?
I'm sorry, this is a blog-zine to promote new bands or bands that are not well-known. I only post the recordings that the bands have decided to share for free. I cannot rip albums and post them.
2) Could you please put the links to blogs/websites that are sharing those albums?
The same answer. But if you make a search with google, I'm sure that you will easily find those sites.
3) I feel that the quality of the bands is not as good as it used to be. In the past there were more Celtic punk bands and now there are more Celtic rock bands. Why?
Well, first of all, remember that one man's meat is another man's poison. I feel that I have to give an opportunity to all the bands. You, as listener, has your own musical taste and you will decide if a band is worth hearing or not. But, for me, as "editor" of Celtic Folk Punk and More, every band deserves to be heard.
Secondly, in the past it was easier to get free tracks. The site in which more bands are available is MySpace. Two years ago, most of the tracks could be downloaded free. However, they changed this and now the tracks are only available on streaming. Then, I have to contact a lot of bands and ask them if they want to be featured on the samplers and send some tracks to me. I have got many positive answers, 4 negative answers and many bands have never answered, even if I contacted them twice and I had asked them please to say yes or no.
I don't know which will be the future of the samplers next year. The only think that I know is that I will keep on posting free downloads (full albums, EPs, demos or only a few tracks). Apart from that, every month a band will be featured (Reverbnation widget)
4) Can I post your samplers on my blog?
Yes, of course, it is free promotion for the bands. It would be nice if you use my Mediafire link. This way I could see how many people have downloaded every sampler.
5) No reviews in September. What happened to the reviews?
Both Chris and me are doing this for free, but we have our own works and our own families. We are quite busy now, and we have had no time to write any review. However, I'm sure that some reviews will be posted soon.
6) And the interviews?
I must give priority to the music (samplers, free downloads and videos), but I will try to post more interviews in the coming months.
7) If I write a review or I make an interview to a band, would you post it on Celtic Folk Punk and More?
If the review/interview is about a Celtic Punk or Celtic Rock band, they are welcome. You should sign your review (real name or nick) and I reserve the right of posting them.
8) Can I make you a suggestion about a band or a topic?
Sure. I really appreciate it.
9) Do you endorse CDbaby, Interpunk, Amazon, ...?
I only endorse my own business. As a client, I have bought from Interpunk, CDbaby, Amazon.de or OSNS among others and I have never had any problem with those retailers. That's all I can say.
