Dragon Con 2021 Is A Go!

Dragon Con 2021 Is A Go!

Dragon Con is just under a week away. I feel like I have barely mentioned a thing about it. That’s odd considering this is one of my routinely biggest shows of the year. There are lots of reason for this. First, let me say I am excited. Yes, apprehensive too. But super excited. The virtual […]

Marc’s Musings: Don’t Mean to BUG You

Marc’s Musings: Don’t Mean to BUG You

“I sure hope it doesn’t look I’m being completely annoyed by all the bugs.” That’s what I was thinking for this week’s Coffee with The Celtfather. I have worked from home since 2005. One of the highlights of doing so is that I can get out of the house every now and then. The problem […]

Marc’s Musings: The Selkie Life

Marc’s Musings: The Selkie Life

One of the things I love about Ireland and Scotland is the proximity to water. I love the ocean. I love swimming, diving, the sound of the crashing waves, the feel of the water. I love seafood. I love boats, the beach, and exploring tide pools. But I also love the stories. Enter this week’s […]

Farewell Classic Song Henge

Farewell Classic Song Henge

In 2006, I started Song Henge as a way to pay the bills of the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast. That service comes to an official end in December. This is a brief history of Song Henge. You could join Song Henge for $12-60 per year. Every month, I sent an email newsletter. In it […]

Coffee with The Celtfather Returns with Season 9

Coffee with The Celtfather Returns with Season 9

Tomorrow is the big day. Coffee with the Celtfather. Season 9. Okay that sounds a bit more dramatic than it is. I started the show in 2017. Instead of the TV definition of seasons, I’m sensibly calling a “season” either Spring or Fall. Nevertheless, this is the 9th season. I’m getting better at doing these […]

Two Albums to Wrap Up This First Week of August

I have a busy week ahead. I made a decision that Friday is my deadline for three recording projects. That doesn’t even include the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast that’s coming. First up is Selcouth. I’m already 9 months behind on releasing this album. So it’s time wrap it up. I have PLENTY of songs […]

Celtfather #283: Busking Showmanship

A new single with the Brobdingnagian Bards and a Bards EP. Last chance to get my Firefly CD on vinyl. A short, new Kickstarter coming? Coffee with The Celtfather returns for its 9th season. Do you really have to put on a show to draw a crowd? It’s all on my monthly update, Celtfather Music […]

By Amazing Grace, Bards Collaboration

By Amazing Grace, Bards Collaboration

A new single is released tomorrow. It’s called “By Amazing Grace“. This is a Brobdingnagian Bards collaboration with my friend and long-time bandmate, Andrew McKee, The Irish Bard. “By Amazing Grace” was written for the In the ‘Verse podcast I made with Mikey Mason. We watched episodes of Firefly. Then we each wrote a brand […]

Busking at Two Atlanta Farmer’s Markets

Busking at Two Atlanta Farmer’s Markets

I have a busking gig today. I’m at Virginia Highlands Farmer’s Market today from 4-7 PM. I have my PA. I have my tip basket. I also have my new portable merch table setup. The new merch table has only a small handful of my CDs. I will have just five titles: The Bridge, What […]
