12:10 – SPOTLIGHT: Tuatha de Danann
Bruno Maia is the lead singer and front man for the Celtic Metal band Tuatha de Danann, out of Brazil. A few months ago, I got an email from Bruno asking me if I would like to sing on their version of Johnny Jump Up. It sounded like fun. Then he sent me a demo of the song. I was floored. It was THAT GOOD. I got really excited about being a part of this project. So I quickly recorded my parts and it sound good with them.
So today, I'm happy to welcome Bruno Maia to Pub Songs & Stories.
When did you start playing Celtic music?
Why Celtic rock or Celtic metal? is that a big thing in Brazil?
Where did you first hear Johnny jump up? And how did your version come to be?

Rattyboy says on Amazon said: “5.0 out of 5 stars WONDERFUL Traditional Celtic Music. This CD is a beautiful compilation of Celtic music! Absolutely a wonderful album done very professionally. The autoharp combined with Marc's voice on the album and his accompaniment (voices, instruments, etc.) is divine to listen to. My suggestion is to buy the CD so you don't lose these gems. A very, VERY well done CD that I have actually listened to several times already. Simply wonderful.”
- Copenhaver Reviewed on Amazon: “…this is a Greatest Hits collection. Marc is a dynamic performer and this is a good compilation of Irish songs like “Rocky Road to Dublin,” “Old Dun Cow,” and more. You should certainly try to see him live.”
John White reviewed on Amazon on May 28, 2013: “Another great album from the Celtfather. Many classics, reinterpreted in a way that only Marc Gunn can perform them. If you've liked his previous stuff, you'll love this one as well (I do). If you don't like this stuff…well, go drink 3-4 pints of Guinness, then come back and listen again; you'll love him for sure, then!”
River Godbee said on February 12, 2013: “I think this should have been called “Marc Gunn's Greatest Hits”.”
- Brazell on June 8, 2013: “Another great album from Marc Gunn. The Celtfather presents a wonderful collection of music that will speak to the Celt in all of us.”
In response to my “Will It Resonate?” I got these responses:
Allan Marcotte wrote: “Marc, Yes I bought “Not Everyday is St Patrick's Day” and I love it. It has one of my favorite songs on it “Kilkelly Ireland”. I think it has a great mix of songs on it, including some good rebel songs.
I hope you and your family are well. Keep up the good work and great music!”
Renae Jackson emailed: “I was listening to one of your CDs today. On the way to my father's memorial. Thank you for the music you make. I'm not Irish or even close, but I love the Celtic culture. The emotion and feeling of Irish music is so special. Again, thank you for the music you make, it has meant a lot to me today.”
Deedra Winey sent a photo and emailed: “Hi Marc! I'm ok,aside from a headache. Luckily I can sit in the quiet ,dark for a few days.
I rearranged some stuff and am now a Gunn Runner! I'm excited! You offer so much and you keep on it.I like that. The story of the song you wrote for your wife is sweet. I can't get my husband to write love NOTE!lol We've been married 35 years though. I met him on the grounds of a hospital for the mentally ill. I was there for an interview for a position in a house working with Mentally challenged women.I got the job…and the Supervisor of the house.lol
