Mark Guiser and Bob Banerjee have been around the Pittsburgh Irish music scene for a long time but it's only in the past year or two they joined up. Mark is Me, and Bob is Bobby Magoo. Their set was all Irish. In this photo they were playing Old Dun Cow, and the audience did the call back of Macintyre!!!! very well. We have found musicians are not playing much Irish music in the Irish pubs these days, but these two made sure we had plenty of Irish, and the audience loved it."

Bhí sé an - sultmhar! Seo dhá ghrianghraf duit. Ag tnúth le nuair a léann tú é seo ar an bpodchraoladh! -  -  Gwênlyn (sí/léi) An úsáideann tú Discord na laethanta seo? Hi Marc, happy birthday! We attended the Gaelic Festival in Seattle yesterday and Cavort ( http://www.cavortceltic.com/ ) was playing Gaelic music. It was very enjoyable! Here are two photos for you. Looking forward to when you read this on the podcast! -  -  Gwênlyn (she/him) Do you use Discord these days? Christopher emailed: "Hello Marc! It is I, Chris Toler… again. Well, you always ask people what they are doing while listening to your podcast, and that question segues neatly into a “PSA - sort” of reply from me today. So, I was on my way to rehearsal with my Irish/Celtic music band, FitzBlarney, ( https://www.facebook.com/FitzBlarney  ) since St. Patrick's Day is rapidly approaching, and we have a few gigs coming up. Anyways, it was on this drive that I was listening to Podcast #698, ‘Ramble Through The Valley.’ Well, early into the show, I heard Louise Bichan’s "CBC Winnipeg." A great tune on its own, but it also included an old clip of “Where Has My Highland Laddie Gone,” with such a rough, vintage quality and it immediately reminded me of the old RTÉ series called 'Come West Along The Road: Irish Traditional Music.’ And I'd like to talk about that briefly. Now, I can't emphasize enough how awesome this program was! Videos of live performances of musicians, sean nós singing, step dancers. set dances, lilting, and vocal groups in and around Ireland from the 1960s to the mid 1980s! I just had to buy the DVD versions of Series 1 and series 2, (and I am always on the hunt for 3 and 4!) These discs contain some 2 &1/2 hours of  live Traditional Irish Music video performances! Sometimes on stages, sometimes in pubs, sometimes on dance - floors. I know this is something you would absolutely love, (if you aren't already familiar,) as well as many of your listeners. Some of the video performances are available YouTube, too, to just dip a toe into the waters. I do know that as a patron of the show, the ‘music only’ option is available to me, but personally, I prefer the full 'cast. I enjoy hearing the artists’ names, listeners’ letters, (like this one!) and other informational bits. So, I figured if some listeners did not know about these videos, and, if they are fans of your podcast, they might be inclined to check them out! Anyways, thanks again for all your, (and your team’s,) hard work, happy upcoming birthday, and Happy St. Patrick’s Day."

In 2026, we’re traveling to the Celtic nation of Galicia in Spain. We’ll dive deep into the history and legends of the Galician Celts, uncovering their connections to Ireland, Scotland, and beyond. We’ll walk the same lands where Celtic warriors once roamed, hear the myths passed down through generations, and experience the magic of authentic Galician Celtic music, alive with passion and history. This isn’t just a trip—it’s a journey into the heart of a Celtic culture unlike any other. Will you join us?

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 2026, we’re traveling to the Celtic nation of Galicia in Spain. We’ll dive deep into the history and legends of the Galician Celts, uncovering their connections to Ireland, Scotland, and beyond. We’ll walk the same lands where Celtic warriors once roamed, hear the myths passed down through generations, and experience the magic of authentic Galician Celtic music, alive with passion and history. This isn’t just a trip—it’s a journey into the heart of a Celtic culture unlike any other. Will you join us?

Kate emailed: "I'm a novelist, and I've taken to listening to your podcast while I write. The lively music helps me write at a faster rate, and got me through my last four books at record pace. To be honest, I don't think I'm going back... the back catalog is so vast it'll get me through the rest of my career!" Dolfu R. Fernandez emailed: "Hi Marc, My name is Dolfu, I'm a fiddler from Asturies, in Europe. I'll be in Port Towsend, Washington State, in Fiddle Tunes festival from june 29th to july 6th. Really happy to be in US for first time and I send you all some asturian music to celebrate this great moment. Years ago, I used to play in a trio called DRD, with super musicians Ruben Bada (bouzouki, guitars and fiddle) and Borja Baragaño (flutes and pipes). There are two CDs by the band available in this Dropbox link. Hope you like it. Congrats for your amazing podcast. It's my soundtrack to go work everyday. And I hope you take some time during your vacation to visit us, we are the neighbors of Galicia.  All the best”

" Matt Bettinson emailed a question: "Hey Marc, Do you use listener voice messages for Irish & Celtic Music? How do you usually collect them?" Joseph F Dumont emailed: "Hello Marc, I love your shows thank you. I listen to them during my daily walks. When I don't listen to your show, I walk about one kilometre every 12 minutes or so. When I hear you play some great Celtic tunes, my pace picks up drastically as I walk to the beat. Then I am going about 9 minutes per km. It is awesome. I have now lost over 30 lbs and am closing in on my 40lb goal. You should promote this music as a weight loss program. I am also interested in advertising on your site, as you said in the latest podcast. For $100 a month, you would promote my ad. Can we discuss this, or how do I proceed?"
