My weekends fly by too quickly. This past one, I was at I-Con Science Fiction Convention on Long Island. It was the first Sci Fi convention I ever went to. This year, I was named Performance Guest of Honor. That honor really rang home in the ceremony when I was presented a plaque for all […]

Marc Weeklies: Free St. Patrick’s Day Celtic Music Approaches
St. Patrick’s Day is almost here. Whew! I’ve been working long hours updating websites, recording podcasts, playing gigs, writing articles, and compiling free downloads. It’s a busy month! But my birthday, March 17th, aka St. Patrick’s Day, marks the end of my non-stop promoting. But not just yet, because I still have a bunch more […]
Marc Weeklies: Welcome to Sherwood Forest!
What a weekend! Sherwood Forest Faire was amazing! I didn’t expect it would be THAT cool. But this brand-new faire is raising a LOT of eyebrows around Texas. Unlike most start-up faires, Sherwood Forest Faire LOOKS like a faire that’s been there for years. A dozen stages. A hundred vendors. A beautiful tree setting. It […]
Marc Weeklies: At Last You See Light at the End…
Continuing where I left off with the last Weeklies, I spent the past week working on websites. Look at this. I now have FIVE new sites and all are looking quite spiffy: Celtic MP3s Music Magazine, MarcGunn.com, Irish & Celtic Music Podcast, Renaissance Festival Podcast, and Celtic Invasion Vacations. I’m excited to have them working, […]
Marc Weeklies: MarcGunn.com Redesigned
There I was planning to finish a CD when I got an email from Blogger saying they are discontinuing all FTP support. That’s dandy, except for the last six years, every one of my websites was moved over to blogger. So things changed. So instead of mixing my CD, I spent the last week redesigning […]
Marc Weeklies: New CD of Comedy Music Coming Soon
The past couple o’weeks were extremely productive. I was in the studio recording “Kilted For Her Pleasure” for most of it. Yesterday, I recorded, what I hope is, the last song for the album. Now it’s time to do some mixing. “Kilted For Her Pleasure” is probably my first entirely comedy album. It features a […]
Marc Weeklies: Focus, Focus, Focus in 2010
I’m sitting in Virginia overlooking a frozen lake catching up on work. Yesterday, I updated my calendar with a bunch of festivals and conventions I currently have booked. It’s nice to see my calendar filling up already. Today, I finally sat down and wrote up my Mission for 2010. The big news is that I […]
Marc Weeklies: A Brand New Year as Prolific as the Last?
Greetings and Happy New Year! Last year was a big year. I released three new CDs (Heart’s Ease, Live at the Cactus Cafe, and Happy Songs of Death) and finished recording a fourth (The Bridge) which is scheduled to be officially released on January 15th. I also released a compilation through my hit Celtic podcast […]
Marc Weeklies: Whoops! And Bonne Annee!
Marc is still out of town, and I am a week late in publishing this edition of the “Weeklies!” (Shush – don’t tell him.) I did have a family medical emergency last week – really, I did. But we had a lovely Christmas anyway, and I hope your holiday celebration was just as wonderful. Some […]
Marc Weeklies: In The Dark of Winter – Celebrate the Santa Lucia Festival of Light
I love to sing “Santa Lucia,” which is a traditional Neopolitan song that it turns out was completely ganked by the Swedes to celebrate the end of the longest night of the year. This is a really cool Christmas tradition. My friend Jamie lived in Sweden for a while, as did Michael Garter, artistic director […]
