VOTE IN THE CELTIC TOP 20 FOR 2023

This is our way of finding the best songs and artists each year. You can vote for as many songs and tunes that inspire you in each episode.

You have until December 8 to vote for your favorite songs in this show. Then the polls close. There will be one final Highlight Reel with just a week to vote for your favorite songs and tunes so that we can compile the end - of - year Best of 2023 episode.

Your vote helps me create next year's Best Celtic music of 2023 episode.  Vote Now!

Remember, you can also follow our playlists on Spotify and YouTube. These feature the top songs two weeks after the polls open. It also makes it easier for you to add these artists to your own playlists.

WELCOME THE IRISH & CELTIC MUSIC PODCAST

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

This podcast is here to build our diverse Celtic community and help the incredible artists who so generously share their music with you. Musicians rely on your support to keep making music. 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.

This is the last regular episode of the show, one where you can vote for your favorite songs and tunes in the Celtic Top 20. I’ll tell you more about that at the end of the show. We still have shows next month. One is gonna highlight Celtic bands with Official Music Videos. Another is a Song Request episode for folks who supported our Kickstarter back in the summer. Then we have a Christmas episode and we will finish off the year with the Best of 2023 episode based on your favorite songs and tunes from throughout the year. I’m excited to see who the winners are. So keep following the show for details.

If you are a Celtic musician and would like to be on the podcast, Just complete the permission form at 4celts.com. I’m also looking at the idea of adding short interviews to the podcast in 2024. So if there’s a band you’d like to hear on the show, drop me a line. You can send an email to gift@bestcelticmusic . You’ll get an autoresponder to also pick up a free eBook called Celtic Musicians Guide to Digital Music while you’re there. Email gift@bestcelticmusic

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.

Kael Wiersch emailed photos and wrote, "Thank you for the show! I really enjoyed being able to take along a varied selection of fresh Irish and Celtic music to enjoy far from civilization or along a cobblestone street after a pint! Last summer solstice I began bicycling alone from CT towards Yellowstone planning to winter in Arizona. 16 months later I returned to CT after 17,000 miles and about 40 episodes of the Celtic and Irish music podcast. I picked up a couple tin whistles along the way to dive a little deeper into the spirit. with love kaelwhale"
