    WELCOME THE IRISH & CELTIC MUSIC PODCAST

    * Helping you celebrate Celtic culture through music. I am Marc Gunn.

    This podcast is for fans of Celtic music. It is here to build a diverse Celtic community and help the incredible artists who so generously share their music with you. If you hear music you love, please email artists to let them know you heard them on the Irish and Celtic Music Podcast. Musicians depend on your generosity to keep making music. So please find a way to support them, especially during the holiday season. Give the gift of a CD, Album Pin, Shirt, Digital Download, or give the gift of a Patreon subscription. That is now an option.

    You can find a link to all of the artists in the shownotes, along with show times, when you visit our website at celticmusicpodcast.com.

    First let me send one more HUGE congrats to all of the wonderful people who helped organize IrishFest Atlanta this year. It was an enormous success. There was a new location that was just fantastic. Congrats. And thank you for letting the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast be a part of your celebration.

    The first new episode of Celtic Christmas Music is now online. I’m currently planning 5 or 6 episodes for 2024. That means, you’ll have over 80 episodes packed full of Christmas music, interviews and stories by Celtic musicians that you can enjoy during the holiday season. Go to CelticChristmasPodcast.com or check out the Celtic Christmas Patreon page.

    You have until November 30 to send in your Celtic art for consideration. It will be used to promote the podcast. And you will get paid for use of the art. If you don't have art, do you know someone who does? Ask them to email me at follow@bestcelticmusic

    If you are a Celtic musician or in a Celtic band, then please submit your band to be played on the podcast. You don’t have to send in music or an EPK. Just email Email follow@bestcelticmusic and of course, listeners can learn how to subscribe to the podcast and get a free music - only episode.

    Musicians will enjoy a free eBook called Celtic Musicians Guide to Digital Music and learn how to follow the podcast. It’s 100% free.

    THANK YOU PATRONS OF THE PODCAST!

    This podcast is because of your generosity. Your kindness pays for our engineer, graphic designer, Celtic Music Magazine editor, promotion of the podcast, and allows me to buy the music I play here. It also pays for my time creating the show each and every week.

    As a patron, you get ad - free and music - only episodes before regular listeners, vote in the Celtic Top 20, stand - alone stories, you get a private feed to listen to the show or you can listen through the Patreon app.  All that for as little as $1 per month.

    There are big changes coming to Patreon starting soon. Patreon is moving to a monthly subscription model. It shouldn’t affect you too much. But it will save me from the hassle of accidentally forgetting to charge per episode.

    The amount you pay will be what you normally pledge per month. I'll let you know as soon as the change is official so we can get things worked out.

    If you need to make any changes, and you're on an iPhone, remember to do it through your browser, not through the app. They will charge you an extra fee. If you're on Android, you're fiiiiine! :)

    A special thanks to our new and continued Patrons of the Podcast: Yoke, Gershon, P Michael Degan

    HERE IS YOUR THREE STEP PLAN TO SUPPORT THE PODCAST

      Go to our Patreon page. Decide how much you want to pledge every month, $1, $3, $12, $25. Those are the new levels that patronage levels when they make the switch. Keep listening to the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast to celebrate Celtic culture through music.

    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/

    #celticmusic #irishmusic #celticmusicpodcast

    I WANT YOUR FEEDBACK

    What are you doing today while listening to the podcast? Please email me. I’d love to see a  picture of what you're doing while listening. Is there a new Celtic CD or Celtic band that you heard of or saw?

    Email me at follow@bestcelticmusic.

    Before I share what others do while listening, I thought I'd share one from your podcast host, me. We listened to the podcast through the Scottish Highlands as I led the Celtic Invasion of Scotland’s Whisky. It was a great trip. If you want to see pictures, I am FINALLY posting them on my blog. Check out the Celtic Invasion Photos. There’s a link in the shownotes or go to marcgunn.net

    Mindy from River Drivers emailed a correction: "Hi Marc, We wanted to thank you for including our music on both the Friel Sisters podcast and Cherish the Ladies. We love both of these groups!

    We really appreciate it! You have actually been playing our music since our first album in 2015 and we are very grateful

    Just noticed though that in both of these latest podcasts, you are linking to the wrong band.

    Our website is www.TheRiverDrivers.com

    Thanks again for all you do for the music!"

    Please send corrections.

    River G. emailed an Android podcatcher recommendation: "Marc, Just a quick recommendation of another great podcast app on Android. It's called AntennaPod and is truly free. I attached a screenshot so people know what the icon looks like. (It may also be on IOS, but I'm not sure.)

    Shel O'Toole emailed: "Hi Marc, I usually listen to your show when I’m working from home but podcast # 681 Lady of the House I saved for my drive back home from a visit to my sister.

    Listening to the music brought memories of my father who played numerous instruments,  solo and with others.  The banjo was my favourite (which Is probably why I play banjo), followed by the  accordion, he had both button and piano accordions, and the fiddle. He also played harmonica, piano and even the gum leaf (definitely an Australian thing).

    I took my father’s violin which I had restored recently so my sister could see it for herself.  It was in a terrible state when it came to me but its voice is restored and it’s very pleasant.  Now the challenge of learning to play.

    I look forward to the podcast every week, so thanks Marc for all you do and for the magic you create in weaving together the music of Ireland and the music influenced by Ireland and the stories of the people who are touched by the force of the Celts.

    Warm regards"

    What are you doing today while listening to the podcast? Please email me. I’d love to see a  picture of what you're doing while listening or of a band that you saw recently.

    Email me at follow@bestcelticmusic.

    Patrick Rieger emailed some photos: "Hi Marc, I feel like I have been slacking this summer sending you pictures after having sent so many.

    Celtic Pittsburgh hasn't been doing much the past few months though we do have plans in the works for an event in October. Meanwhile, the renaissance festival season for my family and I started when we attended the Great Lakes Medieval faire the weekend of July 27 and 28. It was a great weekend, and we needed time away from the daily routine. With life so busy for everyone we hardly see friends anymore, and this was a chance to see many of them. We were happy to find that our friend Captain John Stout, aka Richard Brentar, has returned to Great Lakes after having been absent for a few years. I'm not sure what I enjoy more, his music or his stories, he always has lots of great stories to tell.

    We also saw the Jackdaws, Celtic Mayhem, and Michael Manderen. Sadly we didn't make the shows of Menagerie Music this year but we did manage to catch up with Lisa from that duo.

    My family and I plus a couple of friends went to see John McCann and Hamish at Mullaney's Harp & Fiddle in Pittsburgh on August 3. These two are a lot of fun and have great energy, and get the place jumping. I have seen them for 15 years, starting when they were part of the Corned Beef & Curry Band. Sadly that band broke up when one of the three decided to explore other musical paths.

    I'll be sending more pictures of Celtic musicians come September after trips to two more ren faires.  Until then, slainte!"

    Cheryl Arvio emailed some photos: "Hi Marc, Sorry these photos aren't better, but this is Socks in the Frying Pan from Friday night's show at the Irish American Heritage Center in Chicago. Brilliant, as they always are! Bummed that they are not playing Milwaukee Irish Fest this year, but happy we got to see them (and pick up their new CD) in our hometown. Best,"

    Jeffrey Evans emailed a photo: "Hey Marc, Greetings from Louisville KY. Just wanted to share with you since I thought you would appreciate it.

    Last Sat (10/12), my wife and I participated in a Trunk or Treat that was hosted by the Shelby Country Humane Society and as you can see in the picture, we went heavily into a cat theme. I found a cat based trunk or treat kit that was cat centric, we took our Sphynx cat that we rescued through a TNR effort and added various cat base items inside the trunk area including pages from a Star Trek Cat calendar and my wife even dressed up as a cat where as I simply dressed as a TNRer.

    To top it all off, I even set up a speaker playing a cat song playlist consisting of your Whiskers in The Jar album and Lord of the Pounce.

    Unfortunately, everyone was so distracted by our cat, nobody noticed the music.  But we enjoyed it!

    ***Quick side note: on the episode web pages, every spot where you list the email address to send feedback to or band submissions, the ".net" is left off.***"

    Eric Guarin (gwa - reen) emailed: "Mark, I heard you mention a shortfall - I didn't catch the details, probably in a noisy environment. I've been listening since Episode 6, in multiple states and countries, from warm St. Lucia to cold Iceland to the Rock of Gibraltar, and on planes across both oceans. Thanks for all this! To help the shortfall I upped to the Song Henger tier; keep up the great music. Slainte,

    Larry Budd emailed: "Hey Mark: I just  shared your podcast with friends. We will be traveling next week to Ireland! And I took a break from raking to thank you for your work on our shared heritage. Any must - sees, particularly musical, would be appreciated.

    Rene St.Aubin emailed: "When is your next trip to Ireland to get the feel of music and culture"

    Robin MacDonald emailed from Wolf Creek, OR: "Hello Marc, I have been listening to your podcast, Irish & Celtic Music, on Amazon Prime. However just within the last few weeks it has completely disappeared! It will not even come up on a search, which is crazy because your music CDs do. How odd. Did you get some sort of notification from Amazon Prime Music that your podcast was no longer going to be available?

    I will have to figure out a new way to listen to it and I will! I just enjoyed the convenience as I am not able to stream music much at work (bandwidth) but Amazon Prime Music seemed to always work. Best Regards,"

    Robin followed that up with: "Hello Marc,  Enjoy your trip! Thanks for getting back to me and for the link. There’s good news though, your Celtic Christmas podcasts are still available on Amazon Prime! Love it always, any time of the year. "

    Patrick Rieger emailed some photos: "Hi Marc, My family and I have been busy the past month with a stop at our favorite pub and two renaissance festivals, so I'll be sending a few emails about the incredible musicians we enjoyed.

    On August 24, we went to Mullaney's Harp & Fiddle to see John McCann and Hamish, and an hour after they started everyone, including John and Hamish, got a surprise: the third member of the Corned Beef and Curry Band dropped in, Bob Banerjee. Bob is the most incredible fiddle player I have ever seen, and he has an endless number of bad jokes. He is the curry in the band's name, having been born in India. So for a few hours, this great band was back together. Irish musician Mark Guiser was in the audience that night, and was invited onto the stage for a few songs. Two wedding parties then dropped in for some post - reception fun. The energy, excitement and fun hadn't been that high at the Harp in a long time, and my wife and I only left because our son needed to get to bed.

    In one photo is The Corned Beef & Curry Band, from left to right, John McCann, Bob Banerjee, and Hamish,

    In the other, Mark Guiser and Bob. They were playing Hallelujah with Mark singing."
