WELCOME CELTOPHILE TO CELTIC MUSIC
* Helping you celebrate Celtic culture through music. I am Marc Gunn. I’m a musician and podcaster. This Podcast is here to build our diverse Celtic community and help the incredible artists who so generously share their music with you. If you hear music you love, please email artists to let them know you heard them on the Irish and Celtic Music Podcast.
You can find a link to all of the artists in the shownotes, along with show times, when you visit our website at celticmusicpodcast.com.
I am super happy to announce that we hit our Kickstarter goal in just 3 hours. And as I record this, the campaign has already doubled its initial goal. So I decided to launch the first stretch goal. If we can reach $5000, then you will get a 2 – hour Celtic Rock special on August 31. I was not planning an episode that day. So you'll have an extra episode in August.
I hope you enjoyed the two bonus mini – episodes I released. I plan to do two more next week before the campaign ends on Friday, August 11 at 8 AM eastern.
So please make a pledge. Support the campaign to share your love of Celtic culture through music.
THANK YOU PATRONS OF THE PODCAST!
Because of Your kind and generous support, this show comes out four times a month. 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 music – only episodes before regular listeners, vote in the Celtic Top 20, and you get a private feed to listen to the show. All that for as little as $1 per episode.
A special thanks to our newest Patrons of the Podcast: James Baker, Ann McBride, Jakub Liput
I am extremely grateful to all of our amazingly generous patrons. But if you want to support the podcast this week, please make a pledge on Kickstarter. So you can get a bonus show and so that you can also financially support the podcast with a one – time pledge, while also getting cool rewards.
You can get an album pin, a physical CD, a tote bag, and a shirt. You can also make a song request for one of our December episodes. The easiest way is to just get the collection. For $100. But whatever you’re willing to pledge to support the campaign is incredible.
And hopefully, you’ll also share the Kickstarter link with your friends.
HERE IS YOUR THREE STEP PLAN TO SUPPORT THE PODCAST
- Go to our Patreon page.
- Decide how much you want to pledge every week, $1, $5, $10. Make sure to cap how much you want to spend per month.
- Keep listening to the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast to celebrate Celtic culture through music.
You can become a generous Patron of the Podcast on Patreon at SongHenge.com.
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.
In 2023, we’re going on a Celtic Invasion of County Mayo in Ireland. We’re gonna explore the area and get to know Grace O’Malley, the Pirate Queen. Learn more about the invasion at http://celticinvasion.com/

Phil Hartline replied to the Celtic Music Magazine: “I listen in my shop, where I make musical instruments and general wood projects. I am celebrating Celtic Culture through music by learning to play the fiddle! I have a wonderful opportunity to learn true Co. Clare style from a man who spent a lot of time there. Beginner that I am, I will still be playing tunes on my fiddle to celebrate!”
Paul replied: “Marc, I was sitting at my computer writing code … as one does ..
“For St Patrick's Day?” I will be participating in an Irish Road Bowling event with my co – workers at the Green Bank Observatory in Green Bank, West Virginia
We started back in October, listening to music for Samhain, then continued into November and December with Celtic Christmas … and really we listen to Celtic music year – round – but I will be celebrating Celtic culture by wearing the green on Friday while I'm busy at Ból an bhóthair, then hoisting a proper stout afterwards. Going to a fife and drum reunion in July (in Williamsburg, VA), where I will be playing a heck – ton of good Irish, Scots, and Welsh music (as well as a smattering of German and English marches, because, well, 18th C. Military music was all over the place)
We always enjoy your shows!!!”
PENNIERICH replied: “During the show we usually take a break and just relax and listen.”
Jesse Ferguson emailed: “I'll be listening to the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast at work that day, then practicing my favourite Irish songs at home on my guitar. Finally, I'll be activating a new Irish song on my YouTube channel, to share with my subscribers, a tradition I've kept going for over 12 years.”
Michael Maccarone emailed: “Marc Gunn, I usually download episodes and stockpile them. I listen to them on (my rare) vacations, after I have broken them down into 20 – 25 minute chunks (my mp3 player won't rewind within a track, so I split each episode into 3 – 5 mini episodes, which makes it easier if I missed something and want to go back). As a result, I'm only up to episode #430 so far.
I don't have any specific Celtic culture plans [for St Patrick’s Day] for this week, other than I just watched the Oscar – winning short, An Irish Goodbye yesterday, and hope to get to the Banshees of Inisheerin in the next couple of weeks. Keep up the good work!”
