Last week marked the tenth anniversary of my very first podcast, which was with the Renaissance Festival Music Podcast, on June 26, 2005. This led to many other podcasts and eventually to my becoming a full-time musician and Podcaster, so thank you for your support!

The Donegal Celtic Invasion was a tremendous success – the Giant's Causeway was beautiful, as was Donegal. Getting to know the region was fun, and everyone seemed to have an incredible time. There are some podcasts that will be released soon about that trip, but for now, a regular podcast update needed to happen.

Inara Claire is now 6 weeks old, and cuter than ever! Along with more time with the family, projects are underway. In order to keep a healthy balance, some podcasts and newsletters will receive more updates, and it's likely that Celtfather Podcast will take a brief hiatus until August. Updates for other podcasts and newsletters will continue, so keep an eye out for more updates!
