BUY SELCOUTH BY MARC GUNN

My latest CD features Sci F’Irish music. That means it is original songs fusing pop culture themes with Irish drinking songs. There are some traditional music on the album. But mostly, it features songwriting by Marc Gunn with guests including: Screeched Inn, The Muckers, Jamie Haeuser, Sam Gillogly, Nathan Deese, and Mikey Mason.

Selcouth means, “when everything is strange and different, yet you find it marvelous anyway.”

The album is not completely Celtic and it’s not just science fiction and fantasy. It’s a fusion of the two. It’s heartfelt and a lot of fun.

It’s now on sale in my Bandcamp store. Check out Selcouth now .

Kennedy Johnson emailed: "Marc, I haven't dropped a message in awhile, just wanted to say that the St Patrick's Day Podcast was wonderful !!! I love the music/podcast.

I hope you and your family are well. My Daughter and I went down to the KC SPD parade.

Sounded like the Atlanta SPD parade was a cold one - Kansas City had wonderful weather, Sunny 74 that day.

Estimated over 400,000 attended the parade that day. I made a wonderful corned beef and cabbage dinner that night - so good.

I am hoping to catch a live show one day, probably in Texas as it's closer to KC.

Also hoping you'll be a performer at the Kansas City Irish Fest Labor Day weekend (Sept.) Slainte”

40:36 - CELTIC STORIES - ATLANTA IRISH DANCE

My daughter started Irish dancing last year. She did her first Feis this month as a beginner and came in third place for Light Jig among 11 other kids. We were pretty excited.

Before the Feis, I had a LOT of questions. I was not raised on Irish dance. I really know nothing about it. So last month, I contacted Emma Burke of Atlanta Irish Dance to find out more.

Emma Burke was born in Dublin, Ireland and grew up in Atlanta. She is a former litigation attorney in the area and a classically trained flautist. Now she is co - founder of Atlanta Irish dance and is a certified Irish dance teacher and internationally certified Irish dance adjudicator, which allows her to judge Irish dance competitions world wide. During her Irish dancing career, Emma competed all over the world, winning titles throughout. Emma is also a four time Southern Region Champion, consistently placed top 5 in the North American Nationals, and competed in the World Championships of Irish dance many times where her highest placement was 13th, earning her a coveted World Medal.

I asked her to tell me more about Irish dance.

41:52 - WHAT IS IRISH DANCE?

Since I also wanted to know what to expect at a Feis, I asked Emma what a Feis is and what happens at a Burke Connolly Feis. I’ll let her tell you more about it.

45:51 - MORE ABOUT BURKE CONNOLLY FEIS

If you want to learn more about Irish dance, the instruments they play and the types of dances they do, make sure you join us on Patreon. I will release an extended version of our interview in a week or so for Song Hengers.

48:34 - Clover's Revenge "Raggle Taggle Gypsy" from Gotta Get O'Raggednized

BUY SELCOUTH BY MARC GUNN

My latest CD features Sci F’Irish music. That means it is original songs fusing pop culture themes with Irish drinking songs. There are some traditional music on the album. But mostly, it features songwriting by Marc Gunn with guests including: Screeched Inn, The Muckers, Jamie Haeuser, Sam Gillogly, Nathan Deese, and Mikey Mason.

Selcouth means, “when everything is strange and different, yet you find it marvelous anyway.”

The album is not completely Celtic and it’s not just science fiction and fantasy. It’s a fusion of the two. It’s heartfelt and a lot of fun.

It’s now on sale in my Bandcamp store. Check out Selcouth now .

I also help a friend of mine with his entertainment company, Shenanigator Entertainment. It gives me a chance to be behind the scenes to promote Celtic music and help out at festivals and concerts."

Dawn Sayne Wilke posted on Facebook: "Excellent podcast, as always" for show #554.

I asked a question about song requests on Facebook. The band Beltaine replied: "We love song requests because it is the songs that people love and have a special place in their hearts if we know it, we will play it....if not we will fake it to do our best for our fans that we want to make them happy!

Finally I asked a question on Facebook: What does Celtic culture make you think of?

Wolf Lüerßen responded: "Whisky and great music 🎶 Languages that sound magical even though I don't understand them, and brilliant literature. Did I say Whisky..."

Andrei Dashko replied: "Music that you fall in love with right away. Dance with tied hands. Beautiful songs with female voices. Redheads."

A glass of beer and some outstanding Celtic music, plus learning Scots Gaelic with the Celtic Rock band Syr. It’s today on the latest Irish & Celtic Music Podcast.

Greetings Celtophiles
WELCOME TO CELTIC MUSIC
* Helping you celebrate Celtic culture through music. I am Marc Gunn. I’m a musician and podcaster. I want to introduce you to some amazing Celtic bands and musicians.

The artists in this show need your support, which you can do by buying their music. You can find a link to all of the artists, along with show times and chapters for each song when you visit our website at celticmusicpodcast.com. You can also support this podcast on Patreon.

We have another Celtic Story today. That’s where a band shares a story behind their music. This time it’s by the Celtic Rock band Syr. They share the challenges of writing a song in a non - native language, Scots Gaelic.

Oh! And you may also notice I’m letting others introduce the latest episode. If you would like to do so, email me. I’ll send you instructions. And if you’re band, I can also send instructions on how to submit music to the podcast and how to share your own Celtic Story with the show.

BUY SELCOUTH BY MARC GUNN

My latest CD features Sci F’Irish music. That means it is original songs fusing pop culture themes with Irish drinking songs. There are some traditional music on the album. But mostly, it features songwriting by Marc Gunn with guests including: Screeched Inn, The Muckers, Jamie Haeuser, Sam Gillogly, Nathan Deese, and Mikey Mason.

Selcouth means, “when everything is strange and different, yet you find it marvelous anyway.”

The album is not completely Celtic and it’s not just science fiction and fantasy. It’s a fusion of the two. It’s heartfelt and a lot of fun.

It’s now on sale in my Bandcamp store. Check out Selcouth now .

Rey Glunt commented on Facebook: "I was just listening to this one walking the dog tonight!! Good stuff!!"

Eugene McDonnell emailed: "Hi Marc, how is Patreon connected to your Celtic Music Magazine?"

Peter Bengtson sent a photo: "On my morning walk, this is only about 1/2 of the painted rocks at this house. Zoom in for detail"

And another: "My morning walk close to the Catalina mountains. Beautiful sunny (but cold), listening to episode 548 - very nice"

Michael R. Gorman emailed: "Marc,

I hope this email does not come across as too strange, but before about 45 minutes ago, I had never heard of you. I was searching Pandora for some traditional Celtic music to play as a background to a personal spring/renewal ritual I felt compelled to do on this cool California night. When I happened upon your Podcast #196, I immediately knew I had my background music. I thought your talking would be a distraction, but it was not at all, like an extension of the music of the ancestors.

I won't go into detail about my ritual tonight, other than to say this ritual marks the end of a very long period of trial and pain in one of my life's dark valleys, but the thing about valleys is that there are always the hills beyond to climb if you can just keep walking. I did, and tonight is like a new birth from the cauldron of the Cailleach. I have not cut my hair in ten years until tonight (by no means short, but shorter), a show of faith in renewed growth, and to offer a red - blonde lock as tribute to the ancestors. I don't know much about you or what your spirituality may be, but I felt the need to thank you for being with me on this small milestone in my journey. I look forward to getting to know you better through your work. And thank you. Blessings of the Tuatha de,”

Trees are essential for life. But they also bring peace, joy, and love. It’s our duty to care for our planet so this week, we celebrate Arbor Day and Earth Month with the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast.

WELCOME TO CELTIC MUSIC
* Helping you celebrate Celtic culture through music. I am Marc Gunn. I’m a musician and podcaster. I share my love of Irish and Celtic music from around the globe with you. I want to introduce you to some amazing Celtic bands and musicians.

I am back from Texas and as you can hear I have no voice. Or rather I only have my sexy voice.

Today we are celebrating Earth month. April 22 is Earth Day. April 29 is Arbor Day. So I thought we’d celebrate our planet and trees with this special show. After all, we are stewards of this planet. I want to encourage you to find out what you can do to be a better steward.

I found a great article on “7 Tips to Recycle Better ” on the Earth Day website. I learned a lot about what I’ve been doing wrong and how I can change my behavior to recycle more effectively.

I also want to invite you to check out The Carbon Almanac . It’s a crowdsourced book and website designed to share easy, small changes that you can do to make a huge impact. It was designed by literally hundreds of people around the world to address climate change. There’s even a book that’s coming out in June. You can find out more about it at https://thecarbonalmanac.org/

Peter Bengtson emailed: "Hi Mark, I've been neglecting sending you photos and feedback on what your listeners were doing while listening to your podcasts. I listened to these two this afternoon. I've been on my computer using the Arizona Request to Speak (RTS) system to provide my feedback to the state legislature. I'm giving them my views on which are the good bills and bad bills."

Jim Whitfield replied on Patreon: "Hey Marc, Thanks as always for running such an awesome podcast!

I historically listened to the show while at the gym. Well, COVID really impacted my gym attendance, so with the pandemic waning, I've got a lot of catching up to do (both in podcast listening and in physical health)!

I'm upping my pledge, hoping to get access to the shows that are concentrated music.

All the best, Jim

Answering the favorite song question, well, there are many, and I appreciate how easy it is to vote on Patreon. If I can give one shout - out for a rare jewel, I found Talisk thru the podcast (episode #400 was the first, I think) and now I get to go to their show in Berkeley soon! Yay!"

John Derek Morgan emailed: "Hi, Marc. I love both of your podcasts that I have found. I was curious if you know of the name of the type of Irish/Celtic music that features tenor banjo? I notice that this style of music seems to feature a range of instrumentation, but I am currently learning the tenor banjo. Also, have you ever done an episode that focused on the tenor banjo?"

The Carroll Sisters emailed: "We managed to get our album up on Spotify (and we think all most major streaming services). Please let us know if you can access it. It is our first time doing this, so we are not sure what we are doing. Thank you for playing some of our music on your podcast. We are so excited that we got into the Celtic Top 20!!"

Darren Raleigh emailed: "I just saw you post and thought I'd check in again. You played some of my CD "Silverwheel" a while ago. Thank you..

My air pods and smart phone are working fine so I'm listening to your podcasts. Thanks for posting new ones weekly.

I've been watching various remodeling projects and water features installed in peoples front yards."

Leonard L. Streeper emailed a photo: "Dear Mr. Gunn, I love your show and thank you so much for bringing me music that I love. My only criticism is you weren't around in the late 80s when I fell in love with this genre of music and records were as rare as unicorns.

I like to write fantasy books while listening. The music helps keep me in the mindset while covering up the sounds of the modern world.

Once again, thank you so much for all you do. Sincerely,"

Fabio Fiorelli emailed: "Hi Mark! In one of your episodes I think you were looking at irish and celtic italian bands. I'd like to promote a band from my hometown, called "Whisky Trail". They are extremely genuine, even studying how the history of Florence intersects with that of the Irish"

EATING HUMBLE PIE FOR ST PATRICK’S DAY

First let me start with an apology. Last episode, I shared a pet peeve. I said Facebook was my least favorite place to get comments. That’s true. But according to my website, I was wrong. There was some old info that said EXACTLY that. Ugh. I screwed up.

IF YOU WANT TO ENJOY SOME HUMBLE PIE WITH ME…

I have two St Patrick’s Day celebrations happening in the Atlanta area this weekend. On Saturday, March 14, I’m at Ironshield Brewing in Lawrenceville, GA. On Sunday, March 15, I’m at Three Taverns Brewery in Decatur, GA. You can come eat some humble pie with me… or at least toast a pint of beer with me. I’d love to meet you.

DO YOU NEED A GUEST ON YOUR PODCAST?

I’d love to share my love of Celtic culture through music with your podcast. Or we can talk about science fiction, fantasy, podcasting, or even cats. I’d love to chat with you. If you know a podcaster who might be interested, drop me a line.

ST PATRICK’S DAY ON PUB SONGS & STORIES

The next Pub Songs & Stories podcast is a packed extra long episode for St Patrick’s Day. Jon Pilatzke shares some stories about the late Paddy Maloney of The Chieftains. The Muckers wrote a song on a Flogging Molly cruise. Guilty pleasures come in many shapes. What’s mine? I’ll give you a hint. It comes in plaid.

WELCOME TO IRISH & CELTIC MUSIC
* Helping you celebrate Celtic culture through music. I am Marc Gunn. I’m a musician and podcaster. If you’re new to the podcast, I share my love of Irish and Celtic music from around the globe with you.

The artists in this show need your support which you can do by buying their music. You can find a link to all of the artists, along with show times and chapters for each song when you visit our website at celticmusicpodcast.com. You can also support this podcast on Patreon.

SPEAKING OF PATREON…

I don’t know if you knew this. But I donate 10% of all of the money that is earned on Patreon to Celtic Non - Profits. I do the same with our Celtic compilation CDs. The money goes largely to Celtic festivals where we promote Celtic culture through music.

I keep track of the donations to all the festivals and organizations on our website. Well, I say that, but I hadn’t updated that list in about four years, even though I continued to make donations.

We donated $4200 last year to different festivals. To date, we’ve donated over $45,000. You can find the complete list of Celtic Non - Profit donations on our website.

PET PEEVE

I have a pet peeve to share. I got a Facebook message from someone representing a Celtic artist. They said, “I see your preferred method of contact is Facebook”.

Let me be clear. Facebook is my LAST method of contact. It is the #1 place I promote the podcast. But I do not like Facebook. It also shows a complete disinterest in finding out how to contact me.

Don’t get me wrong. You are welcome to message me there. I started looking at messages recently after 3 - 5 years of forgetting I could. But I still prefer a direct email.

VOTE IN THE CELTIC TOP 20 FOR 2022

Two weeks after the episode is launched, I compile the latest Celtic Top 20 votes to update a playlist on Spotify and Amazon Music. These are the results of your voting. You can help these artists out by following the playlists and adding tracks you love to your playlists.

The newest band added to the playlist: Poitin Band, Kilmaine Saints, The Rogues, The Carroll Sisters

Listen on Spotify and Amazon Music .

BUY SELCOUTH BY MARC GUNN

My latest CD features Sci F’Irish music. That means it is original songs fusing pop culture themes with Irish drinking songs. There are some traditional music on the album. But mostly, it features songwriting by Marc Gunn with guests including: Screeched Inn, The Muckers, Jamie Haeuser, Sam Gillogly, Nathan Deese, and Mikey Mason.

Selcouth means, “when everything is strange and different, yet you find it marvelous anyway.”

The album is not completely Celtic and it’s not just science fiction and fantasy. It’s a fusion of the two. It’s heartfelt and a lot of fun.

It’s now on sale in my Bandcamp store. Check out Selcouth now .

TRAVEL WITH CELTIC INVASION VACATIONS

Every year, I take a small group of Celtic music fans on the relaxing adventure of a lifetime. We don't see everything. Instead, we stay in one area. We get to know the region through its culture, history, and legends. You can join us with an auditory and visual adventure through podcasts and videos. Learn more about the invasion at http://celticinvasion.com/

WE HAVE A COMPANION PODCAST

Pub Songs & Stories is a Virtual Public House for musicians to share the stories and inspiration behind their music. I ask musicians on this show to share a story about a song or tune, from a gig, or maybe even just a piece of Celtic history that they love. I share their story and the related song in the podcast.

I also share songs from the Best of 2022 playlist. And of course, I talk about some of my songs and what’s new with me. Just like this show, it is free to subscribe.

THANK YOU PATRONS OF THE PODCAST!

Because of Your kind and generous support, this show comes out at least four times a month. Your generosity funds the creation, promotion and production of the show. It allows us to attract new listeners and to help our community grow.

A super special thanks to our newest Patrons: Shelley W, Andrew P

Now I mentioned the show comes out at least four times a month. Typically, I plan to take a week off every quarter. But the podcast lost a few patrons over the past month. Meanwhile, our expenses went up last year. I have an audio engineer, graphic artist, social media person, plus there’s advertising expenses and I buy the music from all of the artists who complete the permission form. So I think it’s time for a new patronage milestone.

The next off week is June 2. I want to do a very special 2 - 3 hour episode. I’m not sure of the theme. I’ll let you know in the coming weeks. But I set the goal at $850 per episode. That means we need to raise $70 per episode. That will cover the new expenses.

That’s about 15 new people subscribing on Patreon. I know that’s a pretty tough goal to reach. But you have until May 1 to sign up. If we can do that, then you will get that incredible show on June 2.

Oh! And every patron will get a bumper sticker as well as a small way of saying thanks.

You also get to hear episodes before regular listeners. Any amount is great. You can pledge a dollar or more per episode and cap how much you want to spend each month over on Patreon. You can also get music - only episodes when you become a Song Henger.

You can become a generous Patron of the Podcast on Patreon at SongHenge.com .

Bonnie Menard replied on a Facebook post: "Marc, I just have to tell you. I was listening to another Irish & Celtic Music Podcast at work and then I found yours. This week I switched to Pub Songs and Stories and I am loving it. On both your podcasts all the music and artists are great, but my favorite is you. By Amazing Grace and the Mingulay Boat song are amazing. Such a powerful voice. I can't wait to find the time to visit your websites and order a cd. Thank you for all you do."

Moxie LaBouche messaged on Facebook: "Love the show. In the warm months I listen on the weekends while working in the yard or cutting firewood and in the winter I listen while doing the grocery shopping. 🙂. If you ever need a female voice for a bumper or anything, let me know."

Amy Sherman emailed: "Hi Mark! We’ve been enjoying the podcast as always! The episodes and the new Spotify playlist make great soundtracks to backyard cooking fires and star gazing.

After listening to Dierdre Graham on your podcast, I found her podcast called Gaelic Song Stories . I haven’t listened to all of the episodes yet, but it’s interesting for anyone who wants to hear Gaelic, Gaelic translations, and Gaelic song history. She has some neat interviews, and listening to the background of the song stories helps put the lyrics in historical timelines.

Ok - I’m off to re - listen to the latest episode so I can go vote for the playlist. Thanks Mark! "

She also commented on Patreon: "Even if some bands don’t make it to the Spotify list, voting makes me take a closer look at the artist name and remember it better. I’ve followed a lot of new bands on Spotify because of this new poll."

Rock out with the incredible women of Irish & Celtic music on the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast.

Eric Guarin messaged some photos on Facebook: "Mark, you said you were looking for more feedback so here goes. First of all, it's amazing you are now forty - two episodes PAST 500! Wow. So many thanks.

Second, you ask what are we doing while listening to the podcast. Well the other day I was running south of Huntington Beach pier, and oddly for such a lovely day, as you can see by the attached picture nobody was there! The podcast made some lovely accompaniment as I ran with or sometimes carrying a small Aussiedoodle puppy. On a different occasion I put your podcast playing from my phone as I climbed Angel's Landing in Zion National Park. It was a great day as well and perfect lively music to motivate me up the trail to the glorious view at the top. Thanks Mark! Cheers,"

Alina Larson wrote on Facebook: “I love The Fire! I’ve gotta get back into listening to podcasts - I’ve really enjoyed the selection of music you play & have found out about a bunch of great bands through this podcast🙂”

Next Week: The Women of Irish & Celtic Music

I titled this episode “Slow Travel”. Today, I got an email from VisitScotland.com . That’s a website promoting Scottish tourism. Since I’m leading a Celtic Invasion Vacation to Loch Lomond in Scotland, I’ve been subscribed and seeing what they have to offer.

Today, they shared an article and video about Slow Travel . That’s something that I greatly appreciate and cherish with my own vacations. It’s not about seeing everything. It’s getting to know an area.

Check out the link in the shownotes. And I highly recommend their newsletter. They seem to be leading the pack when it comes to promoting ecotourism and sustainable travel. Stuff I’ve slowly thought about. But they’re really doing it in Scotland. So kudos!

Let’s get on with the show.

VOTE IN THE CELTIC TOP 20 FOR 2022

This is our way of finding the best songs and artists each year. You can vote for as many songs and tunes that inspire you in each episode. Your vote helps me create next year's Best Celtic music of 2022 episode. Vote Now !

It also helps me create the…

IRISH & CELTIC MUSIC: BEST OF 2022 PLAYLIST

Your votes are tabulated two weeks after the episode is released. The most - popular songs are added to TWO playlists. One one Spotify. One on Amazon Music.

I sometimes make errors. So the newest additions to the Playlist are Tuatha de Danann, Doolin’, We Banjo 3, Screeched and Marc Gunn

Listen on Spotify and Amazon Music .

BUY SELCOUTH BY MARC GUNN

My new CD is now available. It’s called Selcouth. It’s an album of almost all original music. There’s one traditional tune set and “Loch Lomond,” a traditional Scottish song.

The rest of it is a bunch of original songs with Celtic - inspired music. There’s a few comedy tracks like “Mingulay Cat Song”, “Why Do You Torture Me”, “Genetic Counseling Song”, and “Kilty Pleasure”. There’s a new hobbit song inspired by Lord of the Rings and a song I think Wolf Loescher sang on this podcast a year ago. There are four songs inspired by the pop culture TV show, Firefly, but fused with Celtic sounds. The lyrics are definitely relevant to fans of the show, but the stories are about real people finding change.

One of my favorite parts about the album is collaboration with other musicians like Screeched Inn, The Muckers, Jamie Haeuser, Sam Gillogly, Nathan Deese, and Mikey Mason.

It’s now on sale in my Bandcamp store. Check out Selcouth now .

WANT TO HOST YOUR OWN PODCAST?

I’ve been publishing the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast since 2005. My host since the beginning has been a great podcast company called Libsyn. I actually left for a couple months with disastrous results. I now host ALL of my podcasts with them. And yes, I have more than the two you hear about on this show.

I’m telling you this because Libsyn launched an affiliate program. I don’t do affiliate programs much any more. But if there’s one I’m happy to talk about, it’s Libsyn. I’ll be honest. I don’t care as much about the money. So you’re welcome to use the affiliate link in the shownotes. But if you sign up with them, you will be happier.

Donald Rice emailed: "Dear Marc, First of all, I love your podcast, music, and cats. I just submitted an album from the band I am in - Poitin. We are based in Fargo/Moorhead - Fargo is in ND, Moorhead in MN. They are sister cities across the Red River of the North, which is the river named in the album title - Banks of Red River. What is particularly noteworthy about Banks is that it features Metis music, a tradition which melds Irish, French, and Native sounds and stories. Though we play many Irish tunes and some originals, Metis music has become our special calling card, having played at many festivals and venues including a recent Metis festival at the Old Treaty Crossing in Northern Minnesota. Our music also has been featured at many community and youth orchestra concerts. You can see some of this on videos on our website, which was included in the submission. Thanks so much for considering playing our music on your podcast. Let me know if you have any questions."

Buddy McPeak emailed: "Just found the podcast on pandora. Great music! I'll be listening from now on. Thanks"

Karen H emailed: "Hi Marc, I am a recent Patron. :)

I joined so I can expand my knowledge of and listening experiences with other Celtic Musicians. I have very little of each at the moment.

So, my favorites that I've listened to for years are: Altan, Lunasa, The Gothard Sisters, The Chieftains, and though she is probably a different category, my all time favorite music artist no matter the genre is Enya. I have so much to explore in the Celtic music genre! I appreciate your podcasts."

Troy Bliss emailed: "Hey Marc,

I loved your show at Gencon this last year. Great music and entertainment! Some of my favorite Celtic bands are The High Kings, Drop Kick Murphys, (Shadows of Esteren, a indie French RPG has four professionally composed albums inspired by their Celtic Gothic Horror Roleplaying game, it's on Bandcamp and is Amazing!), lastly I love a Duo local to RI and MA called Atwater Donnelly. They are traditional folk lore music and are sooo good!

Looking forward to the bumper sticker and supporting you!"

Robert replied on Instagram: “On your second to last podcast you asked everyone what are you doing while listening to the podcast. Well, I don’t have a Facebook so I had to look you up on Instagram. Usually what I do is very very early in the morning when it’s still dark I have my coffee in the garage and I am a tobacco pipe smoker, so I enjoy my cuppa Joe puffing on my pipe listening to some good Irish in Celtic music. Thanks for the podcast you’re doing a great job. Keep it going! Robert”

Alied Pérez Martínez shared a beginner tin whistle YouTube video : "hi Marc, a quick one to show you my skills (for some definitions of skill :D) with the tin whistle, and to thank you for inspiring me to learn it."

Now just because they received lots of initial votes does NOT mean they will be a part of the Celtic Top 20. You can still vote for your favorite tracks for another couple weeks. So get those votes in ASAP. Then go vote for your favorites in THIS show. You do need to be a Patron of the Podcast. But you can Vote Right Now on Patreon ! It’s really easy to do.

I’m changing things up this year. There will now be a poll available for you to vote in the Celtic Top 20. It’s super simple. You just need to click the song and artists that you love.

Danny emailed: "dear Marc First off thank you for all you do for Irish and Celtic independent musicians. I have been featured myself a couple of times with my old band Gaelic Fury but I have since been playing as Danny’s Gone Rogue or simply Danny McDade where I do vocals (with the help of a harmony pedal) play guitar, rack a harmonica and play the Bodhran with a reverse drum kick. But I wanted to say i listen to you in my improvised gym in the basement shared by my son. We call it the YMCA Young McDade’s Covid Avoidance Gym. Thanks and hope you have a happy Christmas."

Karen Mitchell Carothers replied on Facebook: "I usually listen at work, so the podcast is helping fly satellites at NASA."

Jenny Trevor replied: "I listen at work when clients and attorneys have me stressed out"

Craig Winterburn replied: "I cycle canals. Canals built by the navies."

Allen Hughes replied: "Driving in my car."

Ben Phillion posted a picture on Facebook: "Here I am stopped at the local dump waiting for my turn and who pops up but a top valley fiddler. I have been listening for years - so it’s great to finally see his name pop up!"

Would you like your music played on the largest podcast for Celtic music in the world?

The Irish & Celtic Music Podcast is the largest free Celtic radio show of independent Irish & Celtic music since 2005. It won “Best Podsafe Music” in 2009, 2010, and 2017 in the annual Podcast Awards. It is one of the top music podcasts on iTunes and was featured on iTunes several times. It is hosted by Marc Gunn, a Celtic singer and one of the leading promoters of indie Celtic music online since 1999.

Do you want your music played on the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast?
The podcast gives preference to more traditional Celtic music (songs and tunes). However, I feature all styles of Celtic music from ballads and tunes, bagpipes to Celtic rock, the one exception is Celtic New Age.

This permission form works for all of Marc Gunn's podcasts including:

Irish & Celtic Music Podcast

Pub Songs & Stories podcast,

Celtic Christmas Podcast.
IMPORTANT
If your digital album is currently on Amazon or Bandcamp, you do not need to send music . I will purchase it if it fits the format of the show.

If your album is a pre-release, remember ID3 Tags. Please tag your albums with your band name, album, and track names. Please send MP3s only. If you're ripping from iTunes, make sure you adjust the default from iTunes ACC files to MP3s.

I no longer accept CDs. My goal is to make help musicians make money. Sending me a CD goes against that. Read more.

If you want to follow up with a previous submission, then cont act me .
Deadlines: Any non-Christmas release after November 1 may not be played on the podcast until the following year.

That's it. Are you ready to go? Click this link to submit your music .

Once your permission form is completed, please click here for directions on how to submit music .

You should play… I need permission from every artist that I play on the podcast. If there's an artist you love who hasn't appeared on the podcast before, please email them. Ask them to complete the permission form and submit their music to the show. How do artists submit music to the podcast?
It's easier than ever. Just complete this form .

If you have multiple older releases, you are welcome to put all of those album names in the name category.
Why do you need permission to play my music?
By completing the submission form, you understand that I cannot pay royalties for music played in the podcast.
Do I need to send in music?
Probably not. If you're music fits the format of the show, then I will buy your music on Amazon or Bandcamp. You do not need to send any music to me.

If you are uncertain if your music fits the format, you are welcome to email me music for consideration.

If you have a pre-release, then yes, please feel free to send digital music. I will do my best to get on the show before the official release of the album.
Why don't artists get paid to be featured on the podcast?
Podcasts are not like streaming radio. The standard royalty rate for streaming radio is like 0.005% or something like that.

For podcasts, it is the same as when someone sells a song. That standard royalty rate is 9.1 cents per song per download.

Each hour-long episode of the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast features about 16 songs. The show gets over 14,000 downloads of each episode. That means if I were to pay each artist the standard royalty rate, it would cost $20,384 per episode. The podcast earns $482 per episode (as of March 2020).

If I could afford to pay royalties to the artists, I would. Instead, I donate a percentage of my income to Celtic non-profits.
How do you to make it worthwhile for musicians to be featured?
I am a full-time musician too. I know how hard it is for musicians to make money. I know how easy it is for musicians to waste money on promotion. That's why I offer free promotion for you. I don't even accept CDs. I also buy music from artists instead of asking them to submit music.

Since the beginning, I have emphasized the importance of supporting the artists featured in the podcast whether through buying CDs, downloads, and swag and seeing shows. I consider it extremely important that musicians be compensated and I harp on (pun intended) that idea in EVERY episode.

As a result, I've heard from numerous musicians who've told me about how well their albums have sold because of the podcast. I also get regular emails from listeners saying, I bought this or that album.

I also advertise the podcast and include Facebook links for each episode to make it easier for fans to find bands. I also do occasional special features of bands.
Why does the podcast make money?
It would be easier to answer this questions if the podcast was completely not-for-profit. I was young and single when I started it. In the beginning, I just wanted it to cover my expenses. I didn't really care if I made money. That's about all it did.

Now, I have a wife and two young daughters (11 and 6 years old) at home. I'm a stay-at-home dad. My work week has gone from about 16 hour work days, 7 days a a week to about 25 hours a week of actual work time for both my music AND the podcast. I have too many ideas and not enough time to implement them.

I do not have time to run a podcast. The only way I can make it happens it by making it my "job". As with any job, I have to get paid to do it. If I could not earn money from the podcast, I would have to stop creating it.
Do artists earn any money from the podcast?
Yes. A little bit.

The podcast is syndicated on several streaming radio stations and terrestrial radio stations as well. Those stations are required to pay royalties to Soundexchange or the Performance Rights Organizations (ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC)

I buy most albums from artists. I also encourage my listeners to support artist by buying music.
Do you keep all of the money that the podcast earns?
No, I do not.

I'm like you. I wish I could pay you royalties for music earned. I looked at numerous ideas. I decided that the easiest way was to use the money to promote Celtic culture and music. I donate 10% of all the income earned through Patreon to Celtic non-profits. I also donate about 30% of compilation album sales to Celtic non-profits. To date, I've given away $25,000.

Many of these donations go to non-profit Celtic festivals. It works quite well in fact. My donation helps to promote the podcast which promotes the artists in the podcast AND of course, it also helps the festival hire more Celtic musicians and make their events great. It's a win-win!

I also have a LOT of expenses that are directly associated with the podcast. Here are some the monthly expenses associated with running this podcast (as of June 2017):
MP3 Hosting $30 per month Mailing list $60 per month High-speed internet $90 per month Advertising $250 per month Audio Editor $200 per month Graphics designer $200 per month
Total = $830 per month

Plus, there are numerous miscellaneous expenses I must hire on a nearly monthly basis, including:
Web designers Computer repair Graphic designer WordPress technician Business card printing Sticker printing Banners for festivals
The remainder of the money pays for my time in producing the show. I spend between 10-20 hours per week creating the podcast and promoting it. The money helps me continue to produce this podcast while still feeding, clothing, and housing my wife, 2 daughters, 3 cats and 2 mice.
Why not get a real job?
One of my strongest skills is internet marketing. Numerous people have suggested I go into marketing as a profession. That idea disgusts me. I love Celtic music. I love my Celtic heritage. I LOVE that I have the skill to help indie Celtic bands gain greater recognition. I want to do that.

I would rather be struggling, poor, and helping my fellow musicians bring great Celtic music to the world!
Why do you focus on indie Celtic bands?
When I started playing Celtic music in 1999 with the Brobdingnagian Bards, I struggled to get our music heard. We were not "traditional Irish music". We were not Celtic rock. We were in a realm all our own, and we were shunned.

I started the Celtic Music Magazine and then the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast to give other indie Celtic bands and artists an opportunity to be heard. Most Celtic radio programs like the amazing Thistle & Shamrock, focus on the music from Ireland and Scotland, or Celtic classics in the U.S. like The Clancy Brothers or The Chieftains.

That's awesome. But in every part of the world, you will find incredible Celtic music. It might not sound like something from Compass Records. Often, it fuses local sounds with traditional Celtic music. This music is largely ignored by most Celtic radio programs.

Yes, I got permission from several Celtic record labels to play their music on the podcast. But those labels have money. They don't need MY help. But those small bands from Texas, Georgia, Colorado, Washington, Czech Republic, Germany, Italy, and yes also, Ireland and Scotland. Those are the ones who need help being heard.

My goal is to give these artists a voice.

WELCOME TO CELTIC MUSIC
* Helping you celebrate Celtic culture through music. I am Marc Gunn. I’m a musician and podcaster. I share my love of Irish and Celtic music from around the globe with you. I want to introduce you to some amazing Celtic bands and musicians.
The artists in this show need your support. You can do that by buying their music or telling a friend about the band you found. You can find a link to all of the artists, along with show times and chapters for each song when you visit our website at celticmusicpodcast.com. You can also support this podcast on Patreon.

Today is the Celtic Top 20 songs and tunes of 2021. The music picked for this show was by Your Votes. You will note that there are actually 22 tracks this time.

Yup. You get bonus music this time because one of my tracks made the top 20. While I include it in the show, I don’t consider it as one of the Top 20 songs. That said, there were a couple ties at the end of the show. And thus, you get even more music this time.
NEW IN 2022
CHANGES TO THE CELTIC TOP 20 FOR 2022
I made some changes to the Celtic Top 20 for 2022. Yes. I still want and need your votes so we can create another amazing “best of” episode. It is now easier than ever to vote. Just select the tracks that you love the best. However, you will need to be a Patron of the Podcast to cast a vote.

Another change for the new year is I am creating a Best of 2022 playlist on Spotify. I will update it every week starting two weeks after the first show launches in the new year.

My hope is to help promote these amazing Celtic bands and musicians on the largest streaming music platform out there.

ARE YOU A MUSICIAN WITH A STORY TO SHARE?
I am planning out the spring season of Pub Songs & Stories. Pub Songs & Stories is a Virtual Public House for musicians to share the stories and inspiration behind their music. Do you have or know a good story to share on our companion podcast?

Stories can be about songs or tunes, from a gig, a piece of Celtic history, or anything that might be paired with a song or tune. Drop me an email. Put “Pub Story” in the show subject. Tell me your story. Maybe I’ll ask you to record your story for the show. I’m planning only 10 episodes. So email me soon. And make sure you subscribe at PubSong.com .

Eilene Marie Toppin Ording emailed a photo: "Here's what I do while listening to your podcast. I walk early in the morning and this day, the moon was still up and walked with me. My Scottish roots are very deep and we came to North America via Ireland. My mother's maiden name is McCamus which would equate to McKeamish or McHamish probably in Scottish. Be that as it may, we are part of Clan Gunn. One of my bucket list items is to visit the Clan Gunn Museum & Heritage Centre in Latheron, Scotland. Unfortunately, they are not open and I can't travel at the moment anyway. I'm enjoying your podcast. I've been sending the podcast link and some band links to my son in the Navy in Guam. We share an interest in all things Celtic or Gaelic. My favorite band is Gaelic Storm (they play the KC Irish Fest every Labor Day Weekend), but I recently fell in love with Niamh Parsons' voice. I first heard her and her partner on your podcast.?? Have a great day."

I am listening to this episode of the podcast right now."

Well today in fact I was running the Leghowney (leg - uh - nee said a local) Loop Scenic Walk near Donegal Ireland! A forest, a wind farm, a bunch of sheep, all lovely. The podcast made a great accompaniment, thanks!"

Peter Bengtson emailed: "Hi Mark, I'm on my fifth cycle of walking all the residential streets in my adjacent neighborhoods. It takes me about a month and a half to complete a cycle. After each cycle, I'll walk part of the bicycle (and walking) loop around Tucson. I'll do that for 2 or 3 weeks and then on to my sixth cycle of walking in neighborhoods.

I'm always listening to music as I walk, I cycle between your Celtic music podcasts, Bluegrass music and Symphony Hall (on SiriusXM). Thanks for all you do to produce your Irish & Celtic Music Podcasts.

I've got a couple of photos to share with you, but I couldn't get them inserted into this message. I'll try later today."

Thomas Bondy emailed from Plymouth, Michigan: "Marc, Regarding the Kreelers “Sixth & Porter” that you’ve played a few times, I thought you’d dig the attached photos of the Irish workers rowhouse that currently stands near Sixth & Porter in Detroit’s historic Corktown neighborhood and was presumably the inspiration for the song. Cheers!"

Today we’re paying tribute to the fallen. The title of this episode was inspired by a couple tracks in the show. Originally, I was thinking of soldiers. But with nearing 800,000 deaths due to covid, I thought we’d also pay tribute to all the people who fought and continue to fight for their lives whether from war torn nations or bravely working in healthcare, or the day-to-day concerns about a dreadful virus that has impacted so many people.

I pray that each and every one of you is safe through the holidays and long into the new year.

It’s upbeat, fun, and beautiful Celtic Christmas music to enjoy while driving to visit your family or friends this holiday season.

You will find a link to the playlist in our shownotes . Please follow the playlist and share it to help all of these amazing Celtic bands.

If you would prefer a podcast of that playlist with bonus songs, then you should join the Christmas Patrons. It’s a separate Patreon page for folks who love Celtic Christmas music. But the music podcast is now exclusively available to supporters on THAT patreon page at patreon.com/celticchristmas .

David K. Hutchings emailed photos: "Aloha from Hawaii, I listen in a beautiful grove in the lush rainforest of Pololo valley. I get out my tobacco pipe , light it up and turn your podcast on to share it with the trees and birds of the rain forest. Mahalo Nui Loa"

Darren Mahoney emailed on Patreon: "I’m driving to the Irish Music Festival in Ocean Shores Washington listening to your fine Podcast, as I roll into town Bill Mullen is singing on the Podcast. First Person I run into is Bill Mullen! He was happy to be on your show! What a great fellow and performer, I have an awesome photo of us in our kilts, Wish I could post it. ????"

Mary Lynn Deal emailed: "Hi Marc, I really love that your show is around. I've checked out a couple of other Irish music podcasts and yours is the best I've found. Some folks are talking quite a bit between each song. Kinda disrupts the flow of the show. I'm usually crafting or working when I listen. Keeps me focused."

Mary added later: "Hi again Marc, My daughter got to see a wonderful show a few years ago. It's called "A Celtic Christmas" By Tomáseen Foley . It is a wonderful story! You should check it out."

Ken emailed: "Hey there Marc. I came across your podcast by accident. I became a member and am in the process of shifting through the treasure trove of music and information that is part of your podcast. I heard on the first podcast I opened that you are a musician. that became obvious when I went through the information and saw the CD that you have made available for sale.

Now, do not get me wrong, I am going to ask a stupid question. How do you make your money to support the undertaking you have embarked upon since (2008??).

Second, do you go on podcast sponsored trips to listen to this music; or do you rely on bands sending in demo's. I am not a musician at all. I just love music. Have taken a fancy to Celtic music as I like the heritage. Will plan on visiting the Emerald Isle some time before I pass. Can listen to Celtic Music just as much as Country music, New Wave, Classical, etc. All depending upon the mood. Thank you for your time and Take care of yourself"

The first playlist of the season is now available. It highlights Celtic Christmas Women. Most of the tracks from last year’s Celtic Christmas Women episode of the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast. So it’s a fantastic playlist. So if you’re on Spotify, follow the link to listen .

Now that said, I did republish that music podcast episode on the feed. But starting November 28, the all new show launches with a new Celtic Christmas playlist. You can help spread Celtic Christmas Cheer. Subscribe to the show at CelticChristmasPodcast.com and help me develop a brand new Christmas podcast and playlist experience!

TRAVEL WITH CELTIC INVASION VACATIONS

Alexander Randall 5th emailed: "Tell all your musicians, this podcast really works!! This has happened to me over and over. You play a great piece by a band I never heard of.

I listen to it over and over, then research the band, find their web site and buy everything.

You played a fabulous piece - Dragonfly by the Gothard Sisters. I went to their web site and bought everything.

You played a fabulous piece - Argyle Lassies by Capercaille. I bought all their CD's. Bought everything.

You played a fabulous piece - St Patricks March by the Bookends. Bought everything.

You played a fabulous piece - Millers Maggot by the Flying Toads. Bought everything.

Same for Altan, Silotar, Barrule, Bothy Band...

I can't figure out your voting system, Best this year - cast a vote for the Gothard Sisters Dragonfly.

On a completely different note, I heard this band at a renaissance fair playing German medieval instruments with modern arrangements. Blew me away. The band is Wolgemut . Here is a spotify playlist. Maybe for a change of pace in your podcast...

You are doing great work Marc - Keep it up."

AUDIO FEEDBACK Laura O

Thanks Laura. Here's hoping your son has a happy birthday. And thanks for coming back to the podcast. :)

Peter Bengtson emailed some more photos: "Hi Mark, I've been back in Tucson for about 10 days after our birding trip to Hawaii. The Hawaii trip was excellent with about 35 life birds, a good group of people, and excellent guides.

I'm back to doing my early morning walks (have to start walking about sunrise for the cooler weather). The photo was taken looking north to Safford peak with a hot air balloon moving to the right to pass Safford to the east side. Back in my peak climbing days I climbed Safford a number of times. It's a great trip with wonderful views from the top.

I learned how to connect 3 of your podcasts, so I could listen to your podcasts for the whole time. Thanks for the work you do to distribute this music."

Peter Bengtson sent another photo from October: "Mark, I've recently been walking the bicycle trail along the Rillito River. This was the most dramatic piece of art along the trail. It shows bats riding bicycles. The upper bat and bicycle is upside down since the bats hang upside down under the bridges over the river.

The second and third messages are information signs about the Mexican Free Tail bats living under bridges. I couldn't figure out how to get all 3 photo into the same message."

Eilene Ording emailed a photo: "Marc, Here's a photo of what I do while listening to your podcast. I walk early in the morning in Kansas City, Missouri and this day, the moon was still up and walked with me.

My Scottish roots are very deep and we came to North America via Ireland. My mother's maiden name is McCamus which would equate to McKeamish or McHamish probably in Scottish. Be that as it may, we are part of Clan Gunn. One of my bucket list items is to visit the Clan Gunn Museum & Heritage Centre in Latheron, Scotland. Unfortunately, they are not open and I can't travel at the moment anyway.

I'm enjoying your podcast. I've been sending the podcast link and some band links to my son in the U.S. Navy in Guam. We share an interest in all things Celtic or Gaelic. My favorite band is Gaelic Storm (they play the KC Irish Fest every Labor Day Weekend), but I recently fell in love with Niamh Parsons' voice. I first heard her and her partner on your podcast.

Have a great day."

Rich Windsor replied to the Celtic Music Magazine: "Amazing!!! Thank you so much Marc!

Working like crazy to sell a house that my wife and I owned. Married for 35 years and she passed away from complications of MS. Its frightening how much stuff people accumulate when they stay in one place, and now I am moving to a nice small apartment for one person. As soon as I move and get my internet hooked up, will go through all of these even though it will probably be too late! (emailing you from work!) Thanks again!

Margreta Silverstone emailed a photo: "Thanks Marc, I’ve enjoyed listening to your podcast for the past six months or so - not really sure how I found you but glad I did. Two things:

-I would love if you’d include Jennifer Cutting’s work (ocean orchestra/ocean quartet) in an upcoming podcast

-here’s a photo of something I am often doing while listening (I love to make celtic inspired purses, wallets and bags for my Etsy shop - MargretaMadeIt)"

Peter Bengston emailed: "Flight to Tucson canceled. Sitting at Reagan airport in DC waiting for replacement airplane to fly back to Tucson. Listening to episode 513, very relaxing"

Mary L Deal emailed: "Hi Marc, I forgot to tell you that my mom and I went to Ireland back in 1994. We loved it. Got drunk and then got lost in Dublin... At night. We only got to see the southern towns all the way around the Southern portion.

Beautiful places all over. We met a gal Bartender from Boston who went over there and hasn't left. I have your CD that has the resterant on it. Irish Dring Songs? Brodignagian Bards I think.

I just love it. My daughter loves it too. She had seen a gentleman who told the story of "an Irish Christmas". You make it. I think your family might too. it's wonderful. Slainte,"

Ken Katen sent you a message on Patreon: "Hi, Marc -

Listening to your Love of Planet Earth (#491- I’m catching up on my music podcasts), I thought it was well past time that I thank you for so many years of WONDERFUL Irish & Celtic music. I’ve been listening to your podcast since very nearly the beginning, sometimes more religiously than others. Sure, it’s been grand to hear - and now to get to see a bit of - you, how you and your family have grown and, even tho we’ve never met face to face, I feel like I know you, just a bit. I remember when you moved (from Texas?) to New Orleans, when you met your LadyLove, and when your wee daughter needed such a grievous surgery (I believe I lit a candle). I hope you all are doing fine, and I’m glad I can help you here at Patreon. I wish I could do more, but I’m supporting a few artists here and [buying] music when I can.

One of my favoritest memories, from many years ago now, is of bombing along the dirt ‘backcountry’ roads of Joshua Tree National Park, in my then-new 2006 Ford Escape Hybrid AWD, windows up to keep the dust out, a/c on and your podcast playing LOUD. That show was one when you played a pub-ish song (I think one of yours) that was a paen to Joss Whedon, over whom you also rhapsodized before & after the song. I’d tried “Firefly,” it hadn’t resonated, but you convinced me to give it another try. By the second episode I was intrigued, by the third I’d fallen hopelessly in love, both with Serenity and her crew (WHAT? only 14 episodes??!!) and with all things Whedon. I had my own grievous surgery/recovery awhile after that, and I loaded up my Netlix CD queue with Angel, based on its description of a troubled vampire trying to navigate his way through the modern world, and when I realized it was a Buffy spinoff, I went back and started watching Buffy until Angel spun off, then watched them in airing order (compulsive engineer here) until they both wrapped up. And since then, Dollhouse, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (well, a lot of it, anyway) - he’s so darn [prolific]. I’m not sure whether to say “Thank you” or “Curse ye.” ;)

And along the way, I’ve learned so much about Celtic history and culture from listening to your show - Italian Celts - who knew?? Your taste and selections have grown more and more discerning, and the old favorites come around again too, and I’m always a sucker for a beautiful ballad or a stirring dance instrumental. And your commitment to showcasing diversity in the Celtic music world is outstanding - not only your women only shows, but now your commitment putting together a Pride show of LGBT+ artists. As a gay man myself, who went to the first ever Northern California Renaissance Pleasure Faire - in my defense, I WAS still in high school - and spent some time in my 20’s hanging out with the SCA, I know we fae folk have always been a big, but more-or-less closeted part of the re-creationist/Celtic music and cultural world, which [can] present as overtly misogynistic and heterocentric. Just like in real life, sometimes, I guess. But closets are for kilts. And your hand made chain mail, if you’ve got it. So a big rainbow THANK YOU! .?? for all you’re doing to bring out its beautiful diversity.

All this has been a longwinded way (I’m Sicilian and Greek, so...) of saying “Thank you” for all the pleasure you’ve given me. Now that I’m retired, and locked down here in San Francisco, I plan to mark my calendar for the next Celtfather show. Once we’re past this dratted Crown Virus thingy, p’raps I’ll be able to join you on a Celtic Invasion Vacation, if you’re still doing them.

I’m currently listening to your most recent episode while flying over these great United States (don’t worry the music cuts out when we have to speak to ATC) I have been a fan since almost the beginning of the show and listen to every one. I just wanted to thank you so much for all the amazing music over the years and I have collected quite a few wonderful albums from artists because of this show.

Recently I hiked the grand Tetons with my family while listening to “life is too short” and it was the perfect backdrop for the beautiful mountains and fun hikes. I can’t wait for my little ones to grow up a bit more so we can join you on one of your Celtic invasion vacations! God bless you and your family and thanks so much again!"

Shel O'Toole, Singer of Songs, Teller of Tales, Weaver of Webs emailed: "Hi Marc, Thanks for your company today as I was trying to work. I love that you honour women’s voices, their storytelling, the stories, the melodies and harmonies.

Thank you to each of the women I listened to today. I felt myself embraced by the divine creative feminine. Then came a connection to culture and in the last song by Amelia Hogan “Cornish Lads” the recognition my music is influenced by Celtic heritage.

Here’s a song of mine I’d love too share with you. Click here to listen .

Have a great week Marc, Sliantè"

Alied Pérez Martínez emailed: "Hi Marc, Since my last mail I've moved to England, but due to the "Cerveza" issue I haven't been able to visit the Celtic lands nearby. Until last weekend when, to take advantage of the bank holiday, I went to Manchester to visit my brother.

From there we went to Colwyn Beach and hiked to Llandudno, with a short stop at Angel Bay, North Wales. There I took some footage and photos of the beautiful Welsh coastline and landscape.

And this is where your expertise is required. I want to publish it to YouTube, and use some Welsh music as background. Can you suggest me tunes/artists to use? Either safe tracks or from artists who agree to be used. Proper credit will be acknowledge, of course. The video should probably be around 7 minutes; no more than 10 minutes.

What you think? Whom should I ask but the Celt Father?"

Episode #183 is the Music of Wales . Additional artists: Robin Huw Bowen, No Murder No Moustache, Allan Yn Y Fan

Brian McReynolds emailed a photo from episode 516: "Listening to the latest episode while relaxing on Cannon Beach, OR."

I’ll catch up when I’m back home."

I finished performing at Dragon Con last week. That’s a big science fiction convention I do every year here in Atlanta. It was another rousing success. And happily, my two covid tests I took afterward were negative. It’s awesome being vaccinated. But the last thing I want is for my kids or friends or fans to get sick.

But this means, I am still behind on getting ahead on podcasts. Maybe after Gen Con in Indianapolis, which is where I am currently performing. I was barely able to get this episode done in time.

Attention musicians, and music lovers, Pub Songs & Stories is the place for musicians to share the stories and inspiration behind their music. If you have a story that you’d like to share about a song you wrote, or from a gig, or maybe even just a piece of Celtic history that you love. Drop me an email. Put “Pub Story” in the show subject.

Michael Cavanaugh emailed: "Hi Marc, I wanted to say I really enjoy the new opening to the podcast. I think you saying “I am Marc Gunn” is so powerful and yet personal. I hope you have enjoyed the change and I wonder if anyone else has noticed.

I recently got engaged! My fiancé and I love the podcast, its always playing like radio in our house and cars. You mentioned the next Celtic Invasion is in Scotland, which is where we went to go for our honeymoon. You also mentioned it will be near the beginning of June 2022. Thats also when we are planning our wedding, and it sees fortuitous that perhaps we can go on the Invasion vacation shortly after our big day. Have you “Loched” down dates yet?

Where can we send a wedding invite?"

Katherine McMillan emailed a photo: "Hi Marc, Thanks so much for all you do, I’ve found many great Irish/Celtic bands through listening to your podcast. I usually listen to it while I’m in the lab at work but we are currently in lockdown here in Victoria, Australia so my work is closed. Instead, I’m listening to the podcast while sorting out all the sheet music for my flute quartet, hoping it will inspire me to arrange more Celtic music for four flutes as it’s definitely our favourite type of music to play. At the moment I’ve got the Rainy Days episode playing; it seemed appropriate given the very cold and wintery days.

Thanks again and keep up the great work!"

If I were a blackbird, I’d listen to the sweet sounds of the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast.

Sheryl Schopfer emailed: "Dear Marc Gunn,

I am a newly caught-up listener, having found the Irish & Celtic music Podcast last summer and been listening to the entire back catalog over the past year, along with the Renaissance Festival Podcast (how I originally found your numerous podcast projects) and the Celtic Christmas Podcast. I greatly appreciate what you do with the podcast, airing music of wide-ranging musicians I would not discover otherwise.

You asked in this most recent episode (the first I listened to when it was actually released; I really did just catch up) whether we listen with others or alone. I share podcasts and individual episodes I like, but no one I know listens to podcasts as much as I do. So, I have taken to sharing individual songs with people, and noting that I discovered them through this podcast. As for what I do while listening (another question of yours), this is usually working on art for a comic page or going for a walk.

Anyway, thank you so much for your podcasts and for the music they introduce to listeners like myself! :-)"

Mathew Solomon emailed some photos: "A Bostonian expat cooking in Istanbul while listening to your podcast. Hey Marc!

I've been listening to your podcast for about a year now. I am not Irish by any means, but traditional Irish music has always held a special place in my heart. Its warmth, human spirit, and general optimism despite hardship is a source of comfort and inspiration. My hometown of Boston has a rich history of Irish music, and one of my favorite local haunts is the Burren in Somerville, a traditional Irish pub with regular Irish music featuring local and international artists.

Currently I am making a new home for myself abroad, in Istanbul, and your podcast has been a reliable way to help me feel grounded and at home in this new, exhilarating city. I am an avid home cook, and I always look forward to a new episode to give me more wonderful music to listen to while cooking. Below are pictures of some traditional Turkish meals I have cooked while listening to your podcast, and the view from my balcony from which Irish music can be heard emanating.

I am also a musician, but not one who would fit naturally into the traditional Irish folk band. Anyone who wants to help me find a way to fit trombone into an Irish folk sound, give me a call!

Thank you for spreading such excellent music; I just finished the latest episode (#520) and I am already looking forward to the next one.

Cheers, sláinte, and serefe!"

I missed this congrats from Jarrod Reynolds: "Hey Marc, Congrats on the 500th episode. I highly enjoy the podcast. One of my ancestral lines is Irish so Irish music has a special place in my heart, and the fact I've been to scotland, makes it that much more special. I was wondering if you had any suggestions for instrumental irish harp artists that specialize in jigs and reels. Slainte"

Domenico Rossi emailed a photo: "Hi Marc! It's Domenico here, from Italy!

I'm just listening to your podcast (ep. 517) while I'm finishing up details of my final thesis. You know how it works: each time you write even a single letter, images go everywhere, and you have to put them again in the correct place. And, of course, there always are small changes to do... and your wonderful podcast is here to help me!

Since I've become a patreon some months ago I can hear the episodes some days before usual, and it's a great way to start the week! (or also finish it, by listening to them again and again!)

Thanks for your work

God bless you

Slainte"

Joe Christensen emailed: "Hi Marc.

I've been listening and subscribing to your podcast for a long while. You have been, for a while now, asking what we are doing while we listen. I don't have a photo for you, but I am usually grading physics homework. Although they are unaware of it, I am quite sure the students appreciate that my mood is jaunty while I grade their work.

Speaking of students, which is my actual reason for writing, during the pandemic, I have been recording and posting my lectures so that students who are in quarantine, are caring for others who are sick, or are simply cautious about bringing the virus home to others can keep up with my class. Inspired by my gratitude to you for diligently maintaining the practice of including timestamps in all of your show notes (I can't tell you how helpful that has been), I started time-stamping my 50-minute lectures. Many students have expressed to me their gratitude for my effort in that regard and I wanted to share that gratitude with you. Your patience and attention to detail has benefits not just for those of us who listen and buy music we hear, but also has secondary benefits to those your listeners also interact with.

You are positively impacting in many ways.

Speaking of that, I am also grateful whenever you stand up for the women of Irish music, the LGBT community, and your broader support of a variety of people and cultures. Thank you!

Happy holidays. I hope you and your family are safe and healthy.”

I hope you had a great summer. It’s officially over for me. And I’m thrilled. Because this means I get to put my focus back on promoting the podcast and creating music. The things I love.

I’m already finishing up my next album called Selcouth. I have some fun songs on it. Both traditional songs as well as my fusion of sci fi and fantasy. I should have another song to share in a few weeks.

I one final question before we continue the show. Do you listen to the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast by yourself or with others? Let me know.

Gaelynn Lea Tressler joined Patreon and emailed: "Thanks for making this podcast!

Hello! I am a new (but huge!) fan of this podcast. My husband and I started listening to Trip to the Cottage's back catalog (from Radio Kerry) way back in March 2020 but it went off the air and they recently seem to have taken down all the old episodes, alas! So we needed a new Celtic music fix for our nightly Guinness by the fire! :) This is a great show. Thanks for making it, and I am so pumped there are over 500 episodes to go back to as a new listener!

On a side note, I am a fiddler/songwriter and I have done some live-looped renditions of traditional Celtic tunes like The Parting Glass, Swallowtail Jig, Rites of Man, and others. Take care and keep up the great work! Truly"

Find her music on bandcamp or her website and here is her website .

Peter Bengtson emailed a photo: "Hi Mark, I did go on Podcast Awards and voted for the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast for the 2 categories you mentioned.

I was out this morning doing one of my adjacent neighborhood walks. I was listening to episode #517, Women of Summer. A very enjoyable episode! I covered 5.35 miles, gained only 162 feet elevation gain (pretty flat). It took me 2 hours. I had given up on finding something interesting to photograph. Then I found:"

I usually listen while driving or walking my dog but today my workmate is being particularly loud on the phone, so Im drowning her out with some awesome music and your cheery voice while tackling emails and spreadsheets.

Thank you for doing this, i didnt realise how much i love celtic music until this podcast.

Sandra, New Zealander living in Australia"

Danny emailed: "Thanks Mark for featuring Emma Langford. I met her at Millwaukee irishfest two years ago for her first American appearance. Huge fan ever since. I’m covering one of her songs this weekend in Galena at Frank ODowd’s in the Irish Cottage. She is such a talent. Thank you for promoting her. Slan"

Michael Truman Cavanaugh emailed: "Hi Marc, I've been a dedicated listener for a year now. I'm currently on my third pass through all the shows, starting from episode one. I love your cast and its constantly playing around the house, in the car, while I'm working, or while I'm exercising.

I'm happy to say that I am increasing my membership to Celtic Legends. It's a move I've wanted to make for a long time, but until recently I was unemployed due to the pandemic. I'm happy to say I now have a great job with good pay and I'm able to keep my personal promise of increasing my contribution.

Thanks for all you do for independent artists and the greater Celtic community. Slainte."

Share the show with your friends. And find more episodes at celticmusicpodcast.com. You can also support this podcast on Patreon.

I have a very special request. In order to play bands on this podcast, I have to have their permission. In the past, I needed their permission for each individual album that they released.

That’s rather confusing for most artists. So, I recently updated my permission form. When an artist submits their music now, That permission form is good until 2025. So all new music they submit can be played on the podcast.

I am slowly reaching out to past artists on this show who have new music. But of course, there are hundreds of artists who were played on this podcast.

If one of your favorite musicians has released a new album in the past five years, can you do us all a favor and ask them to submit their permission to the podcast. After you email them, drop me an email and tell me the name of the band. I will reach out to them and see if I can get their new music on the show.

Martin here, found out about this show from listening to your Songs from the Verse Firefly podcast! Remember? Supposed to have you guys on my show SiberCast to talk Firefly sometime!

Thought I'd share this with ya...just bought an electric bike to commute to work to save on gas money and mileage on my Jeep. It's about 40km and an hour ride, so I bought a bike helmet with speakers built in and Bluetooth connectivity, so I can listen to stuff during the journey...well your show is perfect listening for the Alberta countryside as I ride and it's about the same length too!

THANK YOU PATRONS OF THE PODCAST!

It is because of you that I release this show almost every week. But I want to let you know about a big change this coming to the Song Hengers on Patreon.

I started Song Henge in 2006. It was a way to support the podcast when amazing services like Patreon were not available. I sent Song Hengers an album per month of free MP3s from some of the artists on the show. I released 168 of those albums over the past 15 years thanks to the generosity of the musicians on this show.

When I started the Patreon page, I continued that feature for everyone who pledged $5 or more per episode. There are over 60 albums currently available for Patrons.

However, the world seems to be moving away from MP3s. So I decided to discontinue that service at the end of this year. It’s time for a change.

I still want something special for Song Hengers. That has finally come. Starting in August, Song Hengers will get a talk-free episode, much like the Sleepytime episode that was released in May. I’ll introduce the show, you can listen to the music straight through for about an hour, then I’ll remind listeners to look up the artists.

Each episode will also include complete shownotes and chapters so you can easily skip around to the artists you enjoy, just like regular episodes. Because I DO want you to keep visiting these artists. But it’ll be much more music focused.

You can become a generous Patron of the Podcast on Patreon at SongHenge.com .

Peter Bengtson emailed: "Hi Marc,

Thanks for the personal message welcoming me to the magazine & Podcast. I only bumped into the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast a couple of weeks ago. I'm retired and listen to music quite a lot. I started out listening to folk & bluegrass music. Sometime in the 90s I sort of switched to classical music and opera.

The Covid restrictions have pushed me into taking long walks every day. I live in Tucson AZ, so these days I have to start walking at sunrise (5:30) these days. I usually walk for about 2 hours. Yesterday I listened to your Celtic Women #503 on the first half of the walk. The second half to Aria Code (opera). On the drive home I listened to Symphony Hall on SeriusXM. I enjoyed all three.

I really don't like "recurring donations" If you are a tax deductible organization with a Tax identification number, I can make a donation from my charitable account. If you are not a tax deductible organization, I can send you a check.

I'm looking forward to reading the Celtic Music Magazine and listening to your podcast."

I'm listening to the #509 while trying to organize the rest of my year activities, in a cold night here in Tandil, Argentina. I always loved celtic sounds. When I listened to your podcast for the first time last year I immediately liked it. It's wonderful!

Thank you! ¡Muchas gracias! ¡Saludos!"

Shel O'Toole emailed: "I thoroughly enjoyed today's show. From the opening tune to the beautiful song that you left us with.

As I soaked up the sun through my front window the sounds of my culture brought my soul alive and my whole being smiles. Thank you. Warmly, Shel"

Drop me an email at marc@marcgunn.com . Put “Pub Story” in the show subject. Tell me about your story. Maybe I’ll ask you to record your story for the show.

Sean Topkok emailed a photo: “Happy Father’s Day, Marc

I remember when your daughter was first born. You ask what we are doing while listening to the Irish and Celtic Podcast. I listen several times throughout the week, but my favorite time is when I walk my kayak upriver in Fairbanks, Alaska, and paddle back to my neighborhood. This usually takes about three hours total, so I enjoy listening to all the great artists featured in your podcast. Thanks for continuing to introduce me to various groups and keep up the great work.

PS: You can see my tattoo of the Irish flag in the photo.”

Dennis McLaughlin emailed from Boise, Idaho: “I just wanted to send a shout out about this week's podcast. I recently became a $5 an episode patron after just being a listener for a while. As I sat listening to this week's music it was a rainy day here in Boise Idaho and the music was perfect! I picked up some new artists to follow (Eira, Beth Patterson, and Thomas Patrick Kenny) as well.

I am a musician and have played drums with our local pipes and drums bands and always appreciate the great independent artists that play at our local Celtic festival which has unfortunately been canceled last year and looks like this year as well.

I also maintain the website for the Western USA MacLachlan Clan .

Thanks for all you do concerning things Celtic music, pubs and travel.”

John Pomeroy emailed: "Hi Mark, greetings from the east coast of Canada. I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your podcast each week. As the music plays and I come across a song that gets into my head I jot down the time and head over to iTunes to download it. I have a pretty good playlist put together!

I often listen to the Irish and Celtic Music podcast when I work on my genealogy research. My father's roots are deep in Cape Breton and the west coast of Scotland before that. I often think about what my ancestors' lives were like when I listen to the music on your podcast. In my research I came across a great photo on the Isle of Rum in the Inner Hebrides. It shows a woman touching a large rock called the "Emigrants Stone." I thought that would be a great title for one of your podcasts dedicated to those Irish and Scots who were forced from their homes and scattered to the many corners of the world. In any case, thanks for the work that you do and keep it up! Slainte!"

Chris Streeper emailed a couple a pictures from Medina, OH: "Marc, My name is Chris Streeper. I make my living as an Over the Road Truck Driver, what they call in Europe & Ireland a "Tramper." I am always in search of good content to help fill my 11-14 hr day on the road. Recently I found your podcast am very grateful to be able to listen to great Irish & Celtic music throughout my day. I began listening at episode #496 and have been working through the back catalog. It has indeed been a much needed catharsis for me. Thank to you and all the artists who make this show possible. Sláinte,

P.S. Attached are a couple pictures of me enjoying my pipe in my truck while I listen to the podcast."

woodland folk emailed: "Being spooked by various attempts to "move on" caravans is part of life....Ur music is a freind to me, more than i think u realize, the last year was like sailing in a storm... Thank u"

and also: "Was wondering if any of ur artists would consider publishing any short reels,jigs or solo pieces( own versions )as music scores(abc other) how they may write a score in ur show notes or such,just extracts... Ok if not my friend, just putting it oit there #,-)"

Juliette Ling emailed: "Hi Mark! I've written before, but I wanted to send another email to thank you again for all of your work with this podcast - it has been a significant source of comfort for my family and me over the last year.

In addition to the common challenges of the pandemic, my husband and I welcomed a baby boy into our home in December of 2019, and so we've been quarantined in our home for over 15 months now. The music in your podcast, along with your humor, insights, and positive energy have been such a bright light for us. Suffice it to say, there are many days when we are encouraged by your art - we've even begun a tradition of listening to your Don't Go Drinking with Hobbits album during the mornings of our annual Eat Like a Hobbit/Lord of the Rings marathon day!

And finally, some of your recent episodes have introduced us to the phenomenal work of Brad Tuck; his songs have become some of my son's favorites and are now often playing on repeat. I cannot thank you enough for giving us an opportunity to take a break from The Wheels on the Bus and Baby Shark!

Thank you again for all that you do! I've been a long time listener and look forward to enjoying your work for years to come! Warmly,"

I love to podcast.
I love the long instrumental sets.
Rollicking jigs and reels...
in #505, Mary's Jib is my favorite.

Truth be told, after I listen, I take hte podcast into adobe Audition and carve it up so I can listen to the instrumentals without talk, since I write while listening and words from the music get in the way.

Please give us more of your all instrumental sets!

My only advice - change up your patter.

I have been listening since hte mid 300's and your opening patter has never changed. Give it a rest. I know your opening spiel by heart. Say something new. Something new for each opening. "

We also cleaned up some of the grave markers for the veterans buried nearby.

I got quite a few comments about the podcast. Hopefully some of them will look for it later."

Nancy Wilson emailed: "I wish I had known you were going to be at Sherwood Forest Faire, I would have come back and had a chance to visit with you. I was there the first or second weekend, but I haven’t made it back for another visit this spring. Allie Johnson of The Selkie Girls gave you and the podcast a big plug at the Texas Scottish Festival last weekend. We’re always thankful for your support."

This note is not meant to be a plug for my show. It's to send a big THANK YOU for promoting the musicians, and introducing me to ones I haven't heard. I am able to buy their music, contact them for promo music, and broaden my, and my listeners', exposure to the music.

Francisco Javier Escobar Tejada emailed: "Hi, dear Marc, My name's Francisco Javier Escobar and I write you from Córdoba, Andalucía, south of Spain. I wanted to write you for some reasons: I want to say hello :), to be thankful with you for your wonderful podcast and say I am proud of you! I hear you every day (I listen to your podcast when I go to work (I am a teacher and the school where I work is one 80 kilometres far). Believe me, I am a celtic music musician... here in the land of Flamenco music!

Yes! there are many celtic musicians here as well. I am a whistler and a bodhran player and have a band called Keltya too, three boys and a girl between 15 and 35 years old). We are not the only band in this city. My band knows new musicians and songs thanks to you and your podcast, your podcast is an excellent resource, we enjoy it a lot and you are almost our muse (he he, this is a joke). We invite you to visit us perhaps in our Irish Fleadh in Cáceres every October and of course, to know Cordoba and its impressive celtic culture fans. Thanks a lot for your music (which I use with my pupils) and your podcast. We also wanted to encourage you to speak at some point about Spanish celtic music and Spanish independent bands such as Ambulancia Irlandesa, Carrion Folk or Rivendell.Just dig a bit and you will find many surprises in Spain as well. Best wishes, your friend!"

Check out our Galicia music show #206 .

alexander randall emailed: "It works! You played the St Patricks Day March with the Bookends and I turned around, went to Spotify and listened to the whole album, then went to iTunes and bought the album. You made $10 for the Bookends! Thank you! Keep feeding us rollicking jigs and reels. My only request is to minimize the overlap between cuts in your podcast so folks can carve it up into pieces and just listen to the favorites over and over. When we like it WE BUY... Where is David Clausen of Celtic Stone in Austin. Find him and his hammer dulcimer."

Finally, I missed a few congratulatory emails from the 500th episode in March.

Robert Gabb of the Celtic Rock Band Brynmor emailed: "Congratulations Marc for reaching your 500th episode, keep up the good work, it's always a pleasure listening to the show. All the best"

John, Trix, Karen, Jennifer, Felicia, Mike, and Daphne of The Homespun Ceilidh Band said: "thanks for spreading Celtic music farther and wider, and we look forward to the next five hundred episodes!"

Saby emailed: “Of course I would like to congratulate Marc on his success with the Irish and Celtic Music podcast. I wish him all the best with all his projects and always a happy song on his lips. Best regards from Germany”

We’re going down by the water to soak up some music with the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast.

Jeremy Graves emailed on Facebook: "Hi Marc! I've been listening to your show for just a few weeks, but I really love it! I started listening to stay awake while feeding my now three-month-old late at night; my wife and I take shifts. As a linguist working with an indigenous group in Mexico, I really enjoy songs sung in the Celtic languages, and would love to hear more on the show! Thnaks for your work! (PS I bought a Stonecircle album today, which I first heard on your podcast)."

Colin Gravenor emailed on Facebook: "Hi Marc, So great to have found your brilliant podcast. Now I have a little more time. It's just perfect. I'm listening in Wales, UK - where Celtic music has it's own very strong tradition. The Roots lie mainly in folk dance and the music distinctly Welsh! Please try listening to a great Welsh band Crasdant featuring a Triple Welsh harp. Many good tracks on their album Dwndwr (The great noise) but you could start with the gentle - "Pam". Keep up the good woork, it's the best antidote to these troubled times."

Aaron Adair commented on Patreon: "I’m a choir director, and this was perfect pre-Easter Service music to help me prepare for this special day. Thank you, Marc, for blessing us all with these beautiful Irish and Celtic sounds for Easter Sunday."

Brandon Carl emailed a photo on Facebook: "Hi there it is nice to meet you! I have been following you for a couple of years now and love what you do! I usually play my truck simulator and catch up on what you do!"

Keenan Joseph Roznowski emailed on Facebook: "Hi, Marc, I just wanted to let you know your podcast has been a cornerstone of my childhood, and it’s just as superb as I remember it now that I’m coming back to it.

You’ve been such a wonderful guide through this world of music, and I’ll always have a heart full of love for this show and your hard work.

I was homeschooled from 4th grade through the end of high school (I’m 24, soon to be 25 now), and your podcast was a constant companion through countless hours spent in my studies. I have the fondest memories of listening to the music you curated (as well as the Brobdingnagian Bards!) as I gazed out at our garden with countless dreams of warriors, wizards, pixies, and pirates dancing through my head.

It’s only been recently I realized how criminally underrated you and the show have been, and I just want to say I supremely appreciate all your hard work in spite of this! In my opinion you deserve millions of fans, but the quality of the ones you have more than make up for it. I hope to show my future children this show one day.

Take care, and I wish you and yours the absolute best. Sláinte"

Jenni Trail emailed a photo on Facebook: "Hi Marc, I have been listening to this podcast for the past few years. I stopped listening for awhile when I was hooked on audiobooks but now I’m back!

This summer I am staying with my grandparents in Idaho as I have an internship at a history museum.

I’ve been listening to the podcast as I do work around the museum. I’ve attached a photo on some artifacts from the 1930s I cataloged for the museum.

I’ve been obsessed with Celtic culture and history for the past few years, I’m a history major and have taken many classes on British history and Scottish history. I’ve never been to Scotland, but I hope to go to Fife, the area my family is from.

Thank you so much for this podcast! I love listening to this music. Would you be willing to do a Celtic Punk episode? One of my favorite bands is a Celtic punk group called Flatfoot 56."

Alexander Randall 5th emailed: "Dear Marc, I am loving #500. I've been with you since around 300 and I think you are doing a great job of introducing me to wonderful bands and songs.

More rollicking jigs and reels.

I work with words while I listen. So I love the instrumentals the most. Once upon a time you did an ALL INSTRUMENTAL show... Loved it.

Have you ever found David Clausen from a band called Celtic Stone. He is in Austin TX but does not respond to email."

Donna DeMilo emailed a photo: "Congratulations on your 500th Mark !! I LOVE CLOVER'S REVENGE!! Slainte!!"

Sean Malloy emailed: "Hi Marc, Thank you so much for buying our Band O’Brothers album from Bandcamp! I’m so pleased to imagine you listening to some of our songs after we’ve spent so many glad hours listening to yours!! I’m working on putting the promised song stories together for you - I’ll send something your way within a couple days. Thanks again, and sláinte!!!! Sean"

Dillon Dise from Westfield, NY emailed a photo from 498: "I've been listening to the podcast for a couple years, but haven't yet emailed a picture of what I'm doing while listening, so here ya go. I prune vineyards through the winter in the rain, sun, wind and snow. This season I have already cut back over 6,000 individual vines. As the Celtic Spring comes on strong the smell of life is in the air, the snow is melting and the ice breaking up. At the top of the hill I look out onto Lake Erie, so the Sea Shanties episode was most appropriate in getting me excited to be back out on the water. Thanks for all the great tunes!"

There was a wild colonial boy, Jack Duggan was his name... and the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast.

Huw Kinsella emaield: "Hello Marc, hope you are well. I would just like to let you know that i have been listening to your podcast for over 10 years! I lived in Qatar in the middle east from 2008 and recently returned home to Wales. I listen to your podcast while running and absolutely love it. Keeps me calm, as running can be quite tough in the hills of wales! I particularly love the Andrew Mcmanus song searching for the sun on elisode 493, but cant seem to find it anywhere to download. Anyway, thank you so much for your music, you will never realise just how much it means to me and i look forward to every thursday when i can download and listen! Have a great day, sending lots of love from Wales."

David Scovel emailed a photo: "Hi Marc, I thoroughly enjoy the Podcast. I love Celtic Music. I listen to it while I split wood, walk our Boxer, or up on a ladder while washing windows. Today I was Cross Country Skiing down by the CT River with my favorite girl (who has lots of English, Irish and Scot in her bloodline). Actually she’s more than a girl, she’s been by me side as a bride for 33 years! She’s starting to like the podcast more and more."

WELCOME TO CELTIC MUSIC

* Helping you celebrate Celtic culture through music. My name is Marc Gunn. I am a Celtic musician and podcaster. This show is dedicated to the indie Celtic musicians. Please support these artists. Share the show with your friends. And find more episodes at celticmusicpodcast.com. You can also support this podcast on Patreon.

We have a bit of a different show today. I told my graphic designer, Miranda Nelson, that the St Patrick’s Day show would be the 500th episode of the podcast. She thought about it and came back and asked, “would you mind if I collected some audio feedback from some of the artists on the show.”

I said,” sure! That sounds great!” I’ll be honest, I didn’t expect much of a response.

But I remembered that she suggested this when I started compiling this 500th episode. She forwarded me some feedback via email. I looked through them and didn’t see any audio. “Oh well,” I thought. “Less than I expected, but that’s fine.”

Then I noticed one band mentioned something about including audio in their email. But I never got that. So I emailed and asked Miranda where that audio was. Her response, “it’s in the folder you set up on Google Drive.”

Oh yeah! I did do that, didn’t I?

I opened up the folder and was floored to find over 60 recordings by Celtic bands wishing me a happy 500th episode. Wow!

Ye know a couple pieces are easy to pop into an episode. But I didn’t think about how to include ALL OF THESE pieces? So what should I do for this show?

Instead of me introducing bands and songs, I’m gonna let the artists do it themselves. I will play their congratulations as a way of introducing their music.

Course that means if you want to find out the name of the song or tune, you will need to visit the shownotes at CelticMusicPodcast.com or just check your podcatcher. Because each track has a time stamp so you can easily look it up.

That said, I’ll have a few moments to break up the music and say hi. But for the most part this is just music and congratulations. I want to thank Miranda Nelson Designs for all of her hard work in making this happen. Miranda has a whole bunch of Celtic shirt designs you should check out at mirandanelsondesigns.com .

And I want to thank everyone who has supported this podcast over the past 16 years.

And without further adieu, let’s meet the bands.

My husband and I live in Deep East Texas, but on St. Patrick’s Day Eve, we had the rare and wonderful opportunity to see the Chieftains perform in the nearby town of Tyler, Texas! We wore our Celtic finery (photo attached) and enjoyed a splendid show. We also loved the opening act, an Irish/Americana/folk fusion group called Switchback. Thank you for all you do to promote Celtic music!"

Steve Cahill sent a St Patrick's Day photo: "Having a great time holding onto a beautiful night St. Patrick’s Day 2019! Slainte!"

* Helping you celebrate Celtic culture through music. My name is Marc Gunn. I am a Celtic musician and podcaster. This show is dedicated to the indie Celtic musicians. Please support these artists. Share the show with your friends. And find more episodes at celticmusicpodcast.com.

I have a very special show to share with you today. It’s a tradition that I’ve been doing longer than this podcast.

Every St Patrick’s Day since before the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast even existed, I published a blog where I shared 17 Celtic MP3s that you could download for free for St Patrick’s Day.

You see, I interact with a LOT of Celtic bands and musicians. They gave me permission to give away some of their music. All they ask is that I tell you where to find out more about them so that perhaps you might buy their music and support them.

Today, you will hear ALL of the songs that you will be able download for free on St Patrick’s Day.

So if there’s a song or tune that you absolutely love in today’s show. You can either visit their website by following the link in the shownotes, or you can wait until March 14, when I will email you a link where you can download all of the music for free.

If you want to jump the gun, the downloads are actually now available to all of our Song Hengers. These folks pledge $5 per episode or more per month to support this podcast on Patreon. I’ll tell you more about that later.

FREEBIES

We will publish our 500th episode of the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast next week. This show started in 2005, a year after podcasting became a phenomena. But even before that my goal was to change the way you hear Celtic music, both as a marketing term and how you listen.

I started giving away free music like the 17 for St Patrick’s Day. Then I gave away free podcasts like this and other podcasts I host.

In fact, I’d like you to check out 11 St Patrick’s Day Facts in the Pub Songs Podcast. I created that episode with some fun facts about St Patrick’s Day and combined it with music from bands in this podcast. I also launched some St Patrick’s Day stories in that podcast. So subscribe and check it out.

I have a free eBook for Celtic musicians. It’s called Celtic Musicians Guide to Digital Music. If you want some internet marketing tips, you will want to get that book.

And I realized after compiling this list, that that’s a lot of things to share. So if you send an email to email address in the show, then you will get links to all of these freebies. Plus there’s a few exclusive podcast episodes that are not in the public feed. And I’ll show you how to get a free CD of mine while they last.

My name is Luz. I came from Brasil but I've live in Austria since 2015. When I arrived here, everything was so different that I was very sad at the beginning. So I wanted to hear something that could make me feel better. I looked for Radio that Irish and/or Scottish music played, because I love such music. And "voila" - I found your podcast and since then it is being my company specially during my walkout with my dog.

I am your fan and I love the music selections. I always try to write those I like more to find out more about the artists. Thanks for your amazing work. "Alles gute""

Hank Woodward emailed: "Hi Marc,

Hope the new year finds you and your family safe and healthy. As rough as 2020 was , the Irish and Celtic Music podcast remained a bright spot and ongoing inspiration to me. And the podcast is beginning 2021 just as outstanding as ever.

In other news: you may recall that my older son Jackson, high school orchestra violist, got to perform in Carnegie Hall with Irish tenor Eric Cahill in march in NYC St. Patrick’s Day parade in 2018. Well, my younger son Michael plays trumpet in the high school band, and they have been invited to participate in the St. Patrick’s Day parade in 2022 in......wait for it....DUBLIN!

Again, So much thanks for bringing us all the podcast. Slainte’"

Today’s show title mentions Shanties. But this is NOT an episode of sea shanties. Yes. There are a couple. And there’s also a band called The Shanties. But if you want actual sea shanties, check out episode #414 of the podcast. In that show, we break down some of the traditional sea shanties you will find.

ATTN Celtic Musicians. I’m looking for some good stories to share. You see, I also host the Pub Songs Podcast. I started sharing stories from Celtic musicians. I’d like to do more of those. So if you have a story that you’d like to share about a song, from a gig, or maybe even just a piece of Celtic history that you love. Drop me an email. Put “Pub Story” in the show subject. Tell me about your story. Maybe I’ll ask you to record your story for the show.

James Martin emailed: "Hey Marc, not sure if you’re helping to share musicians streaming or not, but there’s a guy up in Seattle who streams music for 2 hours on Saturday evenings (7:30 to 9:30 pst) if anyone is looking for an Irish Music Fix on the weekends. He’s on Facebook under “That Irish Guy”. I can across him randomly and thought I’d share!"

Daniel Flowerdew emailed a question: "Hello ?? first I wanted to say I have been listening to your podcast since the early 2000’s. I have always enjoyed it and have found a ton of great music through it!

One of which I am trying to find! I wanted to contact you to see if you could help. It was maaaaaaany years ago.

I believe it was something like “Wandering Mary” ?

It was about a woman that waited by the shore for her William, eventually joined a ship crew, found him cheating on her so she shot him and then became a pirate.

Maybe “Dreaded Mary” ?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you for all of the great tunes and humor throughout the years."

I don't really have time to help people find songs. But I threw out a few suggestions and eventually figured out he was looking for "Devilish Mary" by The Whiskey Bards. That was in episode #40 from 2007.

If there is a song you're looking for, you should definitely check out the Irish & Celtic Music Club on Facebook . It's a great resource for finding more Celtic music. And there are a lot of listeners who are a part of the group.

James Slaven emailed photos: "Hey, Marc! Hope things are going well! Still immensely enjoying the podcast. It's been quite helpful as I hike around state parks to get some socially distanced exercise and keep sane during my ten months (so far) of working from home. A few pictures are attached of various hikes that I was taking while listening to your various shows. There's nothing like having the bagpipes come on as you crest a hill and see a beautiful lake!

Also, I'm enjoying the variety in the shows. Bagpipe and Irish pub tunes are my two favorites, but being exposed to other fusion genres and having a nice mixture of genders and of cultures is awesome. Keep up the good work!"

Mike Nichols emailed: "I think you have played a track from Sea Star on one of your programs I have heard. I believe Faye was part of a duo that performed under the moniker of Syren. I have one track of theirs from the old "noise trade " or downloads,com days.

Red is the Rose: I love this track to a degree that is not reasonable. Wondering if you have any information about where that music catalog might be available.

Would love to hear Great Selkie or Moon Jubilee, I'm sure your cast experience could weave either of those into a fantastic episode of one of creatures and the other of celebration songs.

Just Mike's opinion.

Thanks for a terrific show. Your great work helps me with long drives at my work.

I've been busily sharing the show with a few select friends. Thanks again"

David Black emailed: "Hi, Further to your episode #483 about being poor but happy I would suggest an Irish song immediately suited to this subject called Cad É Sin Don Té Sin (a rather strange expression in the Irish Language meaning, what's it to you if it doesn't bother you). Altan have done a great version with a different melody."

KIM KNEBEL emailed: "Hi Marc. Just listened to the recent podcast featuring women in Celtic music. Suggestion for the new version: The Holman sisters of Tuatha Dea (Rebecca Mullikin) and their violinist, Laura Smith. The song Alienn Dun is haunting and their voices just amazing. While they've gone a bit more to the rock side, their older music has a Celtic/Gypsy flair. Laura is a newer addition and is pretty amazing. Thank you for all you do!!"

Carson Sprenger emailed a photo: "So glad I found your podcast on this day. I live on a small island in the Pacific Northwest. Years ago in college I studied irish history and literature. I spent six months traveling in your dear county, hitching and working on farms in the year of 1995. My goodness, in these times and in the dark of winter it's such a good thing to discover good music and hear of the good people dedicated to supporting independent music and thought. Hats off to you. You made my day.”

Iris Pea M. Tyczynska emailed from Bournemouth, England: "Hey there, Thanks a lot for the podcast :3. I like Irish and Celtic music a lot, so it's a treat. While listening, I dance with my hula hoop ??. I can send you a video next time if you like. When I'm not dancing, I drink local apple juice from a green wine glass while chilling on the sofa ?????"

Eric Guarin emailed: "Well, I guess I skipped New Year's, but am just finishing listening to the Celtic Christmas Women episode. Really nice! I especially thought the closer (Sharon Shannon's "Christmas Time Again") totally fabulous-if it could ever get mainstream play it could become a new classic.

I did notice that in Apple CarPlay, the name of the song and artist pops up. Cool! Has anyone else mentioned that? But at the same time, I'd suggest putting the artist name first. The reason is that display space even on an 8" screen cuts off the artist name.

And last or alas, I had really really hoped to join a Celtic Invasion, but you will be roaming during my last week of the school year.* :-( Well, another time, I hope. Cheers"

Aaron Adair commented on Patreon: "That was much-needed salve, Mark. Thank you for sharing your love with us all. Be well."
