WELCOME THE IRISH & CELTIC MUSIC PODCAST

* Helping you celebrate Celtic culture through music. I am Marc Gunn.

It is here to build a 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. Musicians depend on your generosity to keep making music. So please find a way to support them. Buy a CD, Album Pin, Shirt, Digital Download, or join their communities on Patreon.

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’ve done quite a few instrumental episodes over the past few years. What I haven’t done is featured Celtic songs and singers. So this episode celebrates the singers and songs.

If you are a Celtic musician or in a Celtic band, then please submit your band to be played on the podcast. You don’t have to send in music or an EPK. You will get a free eBook called Celtic Musicians Guide to Digital Music and learn how to follow the podcast. It’s 100% free. Just email Email follow@bestcelticmusic and of course, listeners can learn how to subscribe to the podcast and get a free music – only episode.

If you’re a Celtic artist or you know one, email some designs for the 2025 Irish & Celtic Music Podcast annual shirt. I’d love to share it with others.

I’m also starting to plan the Celtic Christmas Music podcast 2024 season. The show is funded by Celtic Christmas patrons, different from ours. If you’re interested in supporting Celtic Christmas music this holiday season. Please consider following the Celtic Christmas Patreon. It costs nothing to follow and you’ll enjoy lots of great Celtic Christmas music this holiday season.

THANK YOU PATRONS OF THE PODCAST!

You are amazing. It is because of your generosity that you get to hear so much great Celtic music each and every week.

Your kindness pays for our engineer, graphic designer, Celtic Music Magazine editor, promotion of the podcast, and allows me to buy the music I play here. It also pays for my time creating the show each and every week.

As a patron, you get ad – free and music – only episodes before regular listeners, vote in the Celtic Top 20, you get a private feed to listen to the show or you can listen through the Patreon app.  All that for as little as $1 per episode.

A special thanks to our new and continued Patrons of the Podcast: Francis Leach, Rick Boyce, and our newest Celtic Legend, Bruce

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/

Deanna Robison emailed: “I heard some were having trouble listening to the podcast. I find it on the TuneIn app. Hope more people tune in to listen to your great show. Been listening to you since sometime at the beginning. Never gets old. Thanks to you & everyone helping for the hard work putting together all the shows. Always appreciated.”

Michael Corbett emailed: “Hi! I wanted to thank you for supporting Seldom Sober for the last five years!  My partner Colleen is retiring due to health issues and other circumstances after 17 years together.  We played our last show last Friday with a standing ovation and an encore.  I'm continuing on with a new partner under the name The Galway Rogues for as long as my body will let me.  It's been great following the podcast and occasionally hearing our work.  Slainte!”

Jeremie emailed: “I really enjoy listening to the music in podcast; I'm usually commuting when I'm listening. Definitely enjoy the various Celtic groups' music”
