James Slaven emailed a photo: "Great stuff! Love it and am enjoying the female focus.  Having a nice mix of styles, genders, etc. enlivens the pleasure.  Chopping some wood for a bonfire later this evening as I listen."

Joe Leinbach emailed: "Hi Marc,

Sorry it has taken so long to become a patron. I've enjoyed the podcast for months, and appreciate the energy and positivity you bring while introducing listeners to new bands - I especially enjoy the themes that come with each episode. it's obvious you love what you're doing and it is fun to listen along.

There is something special for me about the stories and instrumentation of Irish and celtic music that creates such a strong sense of place - songs can quickly carry you away to memories of good times, help you find perspective in hard times, see the world anew and wander with an open heart down the road of life.

I live in Alexandria, Virginia where we're lucky to have several pubs that that regularly feature exceptional live irish and celtic performers, and it has been hard stuck at home missing out on the community and camaraderie of a night at the pub. Thanks for providing an hour or two of joy each week as we get through this together.

Cheers, Joe"
