WELCOME TO CELTIC MUSIC

* Helping you celebrate Celtic culture through music. I am Marc Gunn. I'm a musician and podcaster. Four times a month, I share my love of Irish and Celtic music from around the globe with you. I hope you find a new favorite Celtic band or musician or fall back in love with one.

But I'm also here for the artists. The artists in this show need your support which you can do 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 for each song when you visit our website at celticmusicpodcast.com. You can also support this podcast on Patreon.

Find Celtic Musicians on Patreon.

I'm looking for some good stories to share on our companion podcast. Pub Songs & Stories is a Virtual Public House to share the stories and inspiration behind the music. 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. e Maybe I'll ask you to record your story for the show.

WILL THE CELTIC CHRISTMAS PODCAST RETURN IN 2021?

Do you like Christmas music? I also host the Celtic Christmas Podcast. The regular episodes feature Christmas music by Celtic bands and musicians. It's a lot like the Christmas episodes I release here on the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast. But with Christmas music.

That show is also funded by people just like you on Patreon. The podcast is fundraising in order to launch this year's episode. If you are interested in bringing more Christmas music into the ears of thousands of Christmas music fans, and maybe bring a few new folks to the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast, please consider making a pledge to that podcast as well.

There's a link to that podcast and the Celtic Christmas patreon page on the website.

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."
