WELCOME TO CELTIC MUSIC

* Helping you celebrate Celtic culture through music. My name is Marc Gunn. I am a Celtic musician and podcaster. This show is dedicated to the indie Celtic musicians. Please support these artists. Share the show with your friends. And find more episodes at celticmusicpodcast.com. You can also support this podcast on Patreon.

I have a very special request. In order to play bands on this podcast, I have to have their permission. In the past, I needed their permission for each individual album that they released.

That’s rather confusing for most artists. So, I recently updated my permission form. When an artist submits their music now, That permission form is good until 2025. So all new music they submit can be played on the podcast.

I am slowly reaching out to past artists on this show who have new music. But of course, there are hundreds of artists who were played on this podcast.

If one of your favorite musicians has released a new album in the past five years, can you do us all a favor and ask them to submit their permission to the podcast. After you email them, drop me an email and tell me the name of the band. I will reach out to them and see if I can get their new music on the show.

ATTN Celtic Musicians. I’m looking for some good stories to share. You see, I also host the Pub Songs Podcast. I started sharing stories from musicians about their songs. I’d like to do more of those. So if you have a story that you’d like to share about a song, from a gig, or maybe even just a piece of Celtic history that you love. Drop me an email at marc@marcgunn.com. Put “Pub Story” in the show subject. Tell me about your story. Maybe I’ll ask you to record your story for the show.

THANK YOU PATRONS OF THE PODCAST!

Because of Your kind and generous support, this show comes out every week. Your generosity funds the creation, promotion and production of the show. It allows us to attract new listeners and to help our community grow.

As a patron, you get to hear episodes before regular listeners. When we hit a milestone, you get an extra-long episode. You can pledge a dollar or more per episode and cap how much you want to spend each month over on Patreon. And starting in August, Song Hengers will get talk-free episodes.

TRAVEL WITH CELTIC INVASION VACATIONS
Every year, I take a small group of Celtic music fans on the relaxing adventure of a lifetime. We don't see everything. Instead, we stay in one area. We get to know the region through its culture, history, and legends. You can join us with an auditory and visual adventure through podcasts and videos. Learn more about the invasion at http://celticinvasion.com/

Martin Donison emailed a photo: “Hey there Marc!

Martin here, found out about this show from listening to your Songs from the Verse Firefly podcast! Remember? Supposed to have you guys on my show SiberCast to talk Firefly sometime!

Thought I'd share this with ya…just bought an electric bike to commute to work to save on gas money and mileage on my Jeep. It's about 40km and an hour ride, so I bought a bike helmet with speakers built in and Bluetooth connectivity, so I can listen to stuff during the journey…well your show is perfect listening for the Alberta countryside as I ride and it's about the same length too! Thanks for coming along with me! :)”
