WELCOME THE IRISH & CELTIC MUSIC PODCAST

* Helping you celebrate Celtic culture through music. I am Marc Gunn.

This podcast is for fans of Celtic music. If that’s you, then grab a pint, go for a walk, start yard work, and get ready for an hour of great independent Celtic music.

It 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.

We are less than two months away from IrishFest Atlanta. We are proud sponsors of the festival. I plan to release a few interviews from artists performing at the festival as we gear up for the fest. This week, I have an interview with Jeff Shaw of the Celtic punk band, The Muckers, about their new album Whiskey Tango.

I have gotten only a couple designs for the 2025 Celtic podcast. I’d like to get a few more before I make any decision. If you’re interested in having your artwork featured on the podcast in 2025, and you want to get paid for it, please email me 3 - 5 art ideas for me to consider. Feel free to send another 3 - 5 per week. That helps me better consider your art.

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.

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/

Steve & Jody Pomper emailed: "Hey Marc, love your show. We're weekly listeners who look forward to your podcasts. Jody is way Irish and while I have some Irish (learned that from Ancestry, I have Breton heritage (grandmother's maiden name Lebreton. A little on - the - nose, eh?). I'm a retired Seattle cop, and Jody's a retired firefighter. So, there's a little about us. Let us know where we can donate.

Michael Tilley emailed: "Hi Marc -  i was one of your original patrons back in the teens. I’m still a member at a lower level (i retired on fixed income) and want access to #131 which has music i cannot find and would like to play again many times. Please let me know how to get podcast 131."

Betsy Farley emailed: "Some time ago you aired a song by a guy who got thrown out of bars and finally a Starbucks for ordering a Guinness. Who is the artist and what's the name of the song? I thought I had saved it but can't find it anywhere. I love your show and listen to it whenever I can, especially on long drives."

That was CaliCeltic with the song "The Fantastic Slapping Adventures of a Tuesday Night"
