I love to sing Irish songs on St. Patrick’s Day. In fact, I’m out there performing every year despite the fact it’s my birthday. That’s how I like to celebrate St Paddy’s Day. So I compiled some of my favorite St Patrick’s Day lyrics so you too can sing-a-long with us. An Irish Lullaby Beer, […]

La Musica Celtica in Italia
I gatti. La musica irlandese. Le “drinking songs“, ovvero le canzoni da pub. Questi tre elementi non si sarebbero potuti integrare in modo migliore, se non grazie alla fervida immaginazione di Marc Gunn. Quello stesso Gunn spesso soprannominato “il più gran lavoratore nell’ambito della musica celtica” nella sua città di Austin, esperto musicista e impresario, […]

Last night, I started putting together a set list for my next Pub Songs Podcast. My plan is to do a live show. Since I am a huge proponent of keeping Irish music alive and kicking (see my Irish MP3s, my Celtic MP3s Music Magazine, or my Irish & Celtic Music Podcast), I am trying […]

IRISH STOUT

Stomach Rumble
by Marc Gunn, November 15, 2006 We’re under a tornado watch. The sky is rather bright compared to the dark ambience. The rain plummeting in globules on the porch outside. It’s a tornado sky. Spun and unfun. Decadent cascades on our tin roof. Lightening followed by the quick stomach rumble of thunder. Electrostatic activity. The […]
Christmas Gifts for Cat Lovers
