One of the songs I cover on Sci Fi Drinking Songs is “A Boy and His Frog“. It was written by the World’s Fastest Filker, the amazing Tom Smith. It’s a Wonderful song about Kermit and Jim Henson. Tom also recorded on my song “My Puddy Tat, Sylvester“. Well, now he’s here with his best Kermit-y […]
CG016: Imagine Marc Gunn in Your Living Room
I will be in Wales next weeks, so I thought I should do a wee bit o’promotion for some of my upcoming shows that will happen when I get back in town, including a house concert hosted by the Irish Society of North Alabama. I’ll be in their Maggie McGuinness Pub. You can now reserve […]
New This Week: North Alabama Celtic Calendar, Kickstarter Stretch Goals, Website Fixes
There are just six days left until I fly off to Wales and join seven other people on my annual Celtic Invasion Vacation. I am SO psyched. And so fortunate to have people willing to join me every year on another invasion. I’m already planning next year’s invasion, which should be a wee bit easier because […]

I dislike booking
I can’t quite put my finger on what it is about booking that I dislike so much. It may have something to do with making hard decisions. Today, I found myself doing just that to decide on several events. I have several farmer’s markets already booked in Birmingham, but they conflict with some gigs I really […]
CG015: Sci Fi Drinking Songs. Astonishing!
“I never heard about this album”. That’s the comment I got from someone on Facebook this week. So I thought I should dedicate today’s podcast to talking about the Kickstarter for my next album Sci Fi Drinking Songs. Come to think of it, I should do an entire show talking about all the songs… I’ll aim for […]

CG014: Interview with The Stubby Shillelaghs
Today, I am pleased to share my first ever interview on the podcast. It was performed by my friend Laramie Williams at StarFest last weekend. I was sick so I asked Laramie to sit down with The Stubby Shillelaghs to talk about their music and origin story. But before you listen, I want to let […]
New This Week: Kickstarter Launched, New Celtic Video and CDs, Plus Celtic Christmas?
I spent most of this week playing catch up from my weekend at StarFest. When I go away for a weekend, not only do I often leave things a minor wreck, it takes me a few days to recoup. This past weekend was a bit worse because I also got a stomach bug at the […]
CG013: StarFest

I share a wee bit of the excitement in this week’s Celtic Geek. https://marcgunn.com//celticgeek013 Today’s show is sponsored by Lunarpages. If you’re […]
