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.

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 […]
