Trad Music in the Echo

The Irish Echo is a New York based newspaper and I write its weekly column about traditional Irish music. I do other things too: danieltneely.com/?page_id=2

Are you an artist interested in submitting your CD/DVD/book/story for consideration? Great, drop me a line! I prefer getting most things like CDs electronically, so for that the best thing is to send me a link through your preferred file sharing site (dropbox, yousendit, whatever) that includes your album as MP3 files and all the “visual” stuff (booklet, liner notes, tray art, etc) as PDF or JPG f

iles. If you're sending something that isn't easily sent electronically, drop me a line and we'll figure something out.
