I WANT YOUR STORIES!

One of the the things that I love about Irish songs is the stories behind them. Those stories set my mind alight. So I want to share more on Pub Songs & Stories.

That's the new aim of the podcast formerly known as Pub Songs Podcast. In each episode, I sing songs that I love, some traditional and some original. I share the inspiration and stories behind the songs. But I'm now doing more than that…

I am also sharing YOUR stories.

I'm taking 2-8 minute stories from musicians (as well as folks like you). We link the stories with a song to create a fun and fiery episode that'll give you a deeper look at these musicians.

I already play many of these songs on the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast. Bu this gives musicians their own podcast to talk about their songs.

Starting in April, there'll be at least two guest musicians in each episode.
