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.

Pub Songs & Stories is a Virtual Public House for musicians to share the stories and inspiration behind their music. I'm looking for some good stories to share on our companion podcast. 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.

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.

As a patron, you get to hear episodes before regular listeners. When we hit a milestone, you get an extra-long episode. You can pledge a dollar or more per episode and cap how much you want to spend each month over on Patreon. And if you pledge $5 or more per episode, you'll also get the all new music-only episodes. I introduce the show, play non-stop music for nearly an hour, and then close the show. Plus, you'll get access to hundreds of free MP3 downloads.

A super special thanks to our newest patrons: Larry J, Kevin S, Kriskorn C

CELTIC CHRISTMAS PODCAST IS BACK IN A NEW FORMAT

Do you like Christmas music? I also host the Celtic Christmas Podcast. The podcast has new format this year. Instead of music episodes like I do here on the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast, the show highlights a Celtic musician with Christmas music that you can buy OR Stream on our all new Celtic Christmas Playlists.

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
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/

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."
