WELCOME THE IRISH & CELTIC MUSIC PODCAST
* Helping you celebrate Celtic culture through music. I am Marc Gunn. I’m a Celtic musician and podcaster. This podcast is for fans of Celtic music of all shapes and sizes. Not necessarily from Ireland or Scotland, but from around the globe. Because there is much great Celtic music from around the world.
We are 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. Remember. 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.

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.

Jason Denen emailed this week: “Marc, I can't support the latest changes to Patreon, do you have a KoFi or PayPal I can use to send you some money.”
Éirinn O'Coscraigh (pron. pronounced Erin O – Cosgrove) emailed: “Dearest Celtfather and purveyor of fine Irish and Celtic music.
I and the Cosgroves have really enjoyed episode 660! I was cooking up a fine dinner with plenty of Irish stew while the episode was playing on the speakers… and the most common phrase we said was, “Who is this?” Wow. Eight debuts!!! from bands and performers never played on the show before and we have nearly never even heard of them before today!
The Low Kings, The Drowsy Lads, Fialla, The Crowfoot Rakes, Blackthorn, Conor Mallon, Fig for a Kiss, and Luas…. Love 'em all.
Thank you for turning us on to these and many others. We have a lot of favourites who are played regularly on the show.
We Cosgroves raise our glasses to you and yours.
Go raibh maith agat!”
Mattie Dalton emailed: “I am always trying but thank you for letting me know about July.
Yes I want a CD. I have been out of the loop for awhile due to illness. I am doing well in recovery, which is slow… Anyway…love you and family much! Oh, do you have the same number as before you moved? Take care!”
GEOFFREY HUFF emailed: “Been listening to your podcast for 18 years or so. Thank you for staying true.”
