I’m a musician and podcaster. I want to introduce you to some amazing Celtic bands and musicians. The artists in this show need your support, which you can do by buying their music. You can find a link to all of the artists, along with show times and chapters for each song when you visit our website at celticmusicpodcast.com. You can also support this podcast on Patreon. We have another Celtic Story today. That’s where a band shares a story behind their music. This time it’s by the Celtic Rock band Syr. They share the challenges of writing a song in a non - native language, Scots Gaelic. Oh! And you may also notice I’m letting others introduce the latest episode. If you would like to do so, email me. I’ll send you instructions. And if you’re band, I can also send instructions on how to submit music to the podcast and how to share your own Celtic Story with the show. BUY SELCOUTH BY MARC GUNN My latest CD features Sci F’Irish music. That means it is original songs fusing pop culture themes with Irish drinking songs. There are some traditional music on the album. But mostly, it features songwriting by Marc Gunn with guests including: Screeched Inn, The Muckers, Jamie Haeuser, Sam Gillogly, Nathan Deese, and Mikey Mason. Selcouth means, “when everything is strange and different, yet you find it marvelous anyway.” The album is not completely Celtic and it’s not just science fiction and fantasy. It’s a fusion of the two. It’s heartfelt and a lot of fun. It’s now on sale in my Bandcamp store. Check out Selcouth now. THANK YOU PATRONS OF THE PODCAST!

Email a voicemail message to [email protected] Rey Glunt commented on Facebook: "I was just listening to this one walking the dog tonight!! Good stuff!!" Eugene McDonnell emailed: "Hi Marc, how is Patreon connected to your Celtic Music Magazine?" Peter Bengtson sent a photo: "On my morning walk, this is only about 1/2 of the painted rocks at this house. Zoom in for detail" And another: "My morning walk close to the Catalina mountains. Beautiful sunny (but cold), listening to episode 548  -  very nice" Michael R. Gorman emailed: "Marc, I hope this email does not come across as too strange, but before about 45 minutes ago, I had never heard of you. I was searching Pandora for some traditional Celtic music to play as a background to a personal spring/renewal ritual I felt compelled to do on this cool California night. When I happened upon your Podcast #196, I immediately knew I had my background music. I thought your talking would be a distraction, but it was not at all, like an extension of the music of the ancestors. I won't go into detail about my ritual tonight, other than to say this ritual marks the end of a very long period of trial and pain in one of my life's dark valleys, but the thing about valleys is that there are always the hills beyond to climb if you can just keep walking. I did, and tonight is like a new birth from the cauldron of the Cailleach. I have not cut my hair in ten years until tonight (by no means short, but shorter), a show of faith in renewed growth, and to offer a red - blonde lock as tribute to the ancestors. I don't know much about you or what your spirituality may be, but I felt the need to thank you for being with me on this small milestone in my journey. I look forward to getting to know you better through your work. And thank you. Blessings of the Tuatha de,”
