WELCOME CELTOPHILE TO CELTIC MUSIC * Helping you celebrate Celtic culture through music. I am Marc Gunn. I’m a musician and podcaster out of Atlanta, Georgia. This Podcast is here to build our diverse Celtic community and help the incredible artists who so generously share their music with you.

It’s only 99 cents. And you can order your copy now. And of course, my goal is NOT to make money with this eBook. I’d like you to share it because I want to help Celtic musicians.
