WELCOME THE IRISH & CELTIC MUSIC PODCAST

* Helping you celebrate Celtic culture through music. I am Marc Gunn, Celtic musician and podcaster.

This podcast is for fans of Celtic music. You're gonna hear some amazing artists. Some you've heard of. Many you haven't.

The show 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. Buy a CD, Album Pin, Shirt, Digital Download, or join their communities on Patreon.

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.

Yes. This episode is a tribute to the podcast, Folk on Foot. It's the perfect marriage of travel, culture and music.

Do you do Celtic knotwork? Send me your designs. Perhaps I'll use it for the 2025 shirt and Album Pin.

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. You will get a free eBook called Celtic Musicians Guide to Digital Music and learn how to follow the podcast. It's 100% free. Just email Email follow@bestcelticmusic and of course, listeners can learn how to subscribe to the podcast and get a free music - only episode.

THANK YOU PATRONS OF THE PODCAST!

You are amazing. It is because of your generosity that you get to hear so much great Celtic music each and every week.

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 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.

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.

In 2025, we're going to the Celtic nation of Galicia in Spain. We're gonna learn about the history and legends behind the Celts there and experience some amazing Galician Celtic music.

Tim Hughes messaged me on Facebook: "Mark, I've been using Podcast Republic for years."

Timothy P. Frier messaged: "Hi Mark I found your podcast about a year ago and started listening from episode 1. I'm up to episode 338. The episodes I enjoy the most are the instrumental only shows and anything with bagpipes. I have recently run into an issue listening to the podcast on Amazon. It is no longer available. I did change to a different source as there are several. What happened?? Thanks"

Mike Bromund messaged: "I'm just exploring Southern Oregon and happened upon the Black Sheep Pub in Ashland. Every Sunday, they host a jam session with amazing musicians from the area. Highly recommended !"
