WELCOME THE IRISH & CELTIC MUSIC PODCAST

* Helping you celebrate Celtic culture through music. I am Marc Gunn. I’m a Celtic musician and podcaster. This podcast is here to build our diverse Celtic community and help the incredible artists who so generously share their music with you. Musicians rely on your support to keep making music.  If you hear music you love, please email artists to let them know you heard them on the Irish and Celtic Music Podcast.

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.

Greetings all, Lot’s going on. I just booked the house that we will be staying at on next year’s Celtic Invasion of the Isle of Man. The invasion is all booked up. However, there might be a second invasion added in August. So if you’re not yet, subscribed at celticinvasion.com, make sure you go ahead and do that.

The Secret World of Celtic Rock compilation CDs that were funded on Kickstarter last month, they have arrived. I hope to do a listening party for that album next week. I’ll let you know the details as soon as I have some and when the physical CD is on sale on my Bandcamp page.

I am still waiting for two people who haven’t completed the Kickstarter survey to contact me with info. Otherwise, the shirts and tote bags should arrive from my printer by next when I will start mailing stuff out.

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 complete the permission form at 4celts.com.

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/

Francis Leach replied to the Celtic Music Magazine’s feedback request: “Marc, Love your shows.  Thanks. I  Usually work around the house.  I especially like to listen while doing yard work.” For St Patrick’s Day?  “Hanging at two of our favorite Irish pubs, drinking Guinness and Jameson, and listening to some great Irish bands. We constantly have Celtic music on in our house and we are planning a trip to Ireland this summer.  Our trip three years ago got squashed due to the pandemic.”

Travis Senzaki replied: “Hi Marc, thank you for continuing to put out this podcast year after year! This St. Patrick’s Day, the podcast is really my only connection to Celtic culture, so I’ll be spending the evening listening with my kids. Over the years of listening, I have moved from the US to rural Japan, where there is no other access to my Irish roots. I have to travel to even find Guinness on tap. But thanks to you, my kids have picked up on Celtic music (or “Daddy’s car music”, as they call it) and even recognize it when some of the common themes find their way into movie or game music. I hope to continue sharing this music and culture with them as they grow older, and your podcast remains my best resource to do so. Thank you!

Thanks again for all you do! I’m looking forward to listening to the St. Patrick’s Day episode(s) over a glass, even if I have to pour it from a can. Slainte!”

Sarah Shorter replied: “Good morning Marc. We are enjoying some autumn sunshine down in new zealand. I’m listening with my son (18 months old) and he loves the show.

St Patrick’s for us will be attending play centre (a parent run education centre) where we will be making shamrock fairy bread.( green sprinkles on buttered bread cut out with a cookie cutter) quite a conglomeration of celtic and new zealand cultures. We will also be bringing in a play list to share with the kids ( aged 0 to5 ) I’m just putting it together now starting from the best of 2022 and 2023 Playlist.. Kia Ora”
