WELCOME CELTOPHILE TO CELTIC MUSIC

* Helping you celebrate Celtic culture through music. I am Marc Gunn. I’m a musician and podcaster out of Atlanta, Georgia. This Podcast is here to build our 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.

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 Monday is the release of my Celtic Musicians Guide to Digital Music eBook. It is designed for Celtic musicians who want to promote themselves on this podcast and other media sites. It’s only 99 cents. And you can order your copy now.

And of course, my goal is NOT to make money with this eBook. I’d like you to share it because I want to help Celtic musicians. That’s why you can get the eBook for FREE when you send an email to gift@bestcelticmusic.

Thank you for sharing the link to this book with other Celtic musicians. Oh! And if you read it, let me know what you think. I’d love your feedback!

THANK YOU PATRONS OF THE PODCAST!

Because of Your kind and generous support, this show comes out at least four times a month. Your generosity funds the creation, promotion and production of the show. It allows us to attract new listeners and to help our community grow.

I always appreciate our generous Patrons. But not everyone can make a monthly pledge to support the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast. So why not make a one - off donation to support the podcast? You can donate $5, $10, $25 or do what James did and make a $200 donation to support Celtic culture through music.

Our Store is now open! You can get an Irish & Celtic Music Podcast pint glass or the 2023 Celtic Knotwork Earth T - Shirt. There’s also a new totebag to help you rely less on plastic bags from the grocery store and more on Celtic music.

You’ll also find a new assortment of Celtic Heartstrings. These are necklaces made from the broken strings of my heart… I mean autoharp. Each one lived and died a beautiful musical death. It’s a great conversation starter to have others find out about Irish & Celtic Music.

Visit BestCelticMusic.net/donate to support the podcast today!

As a patron, you get music - only episodes before regular listeners, vote in the Celtic Top 20, and you get a private feed to listen to the show.  All that for as little as $1 per episode.

HERE IS YOUR THREE STEP PLAN TO SUPPORT THE PODCAST

1. Go to our Patreon page.
2. Decide how much you want to pledge every week, $1, $5, $10. Make sure to cap how much you want to spend per month.
3. Keep listening to the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast to celebrate Celtic culture through music.

You can become a generous Patron of the Podcast on Patreon at SongHenge.com.

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 next year’s invasion at http://celticinvasion.com/

Hilary Carroll emailed a photo along with her intro to the podcast: "Hello Marc, Tonight we listened to the Irish and Celtic Music Podcast on the drive to hear Lunasa in Madison, Wisconsin. It was a fabulous night of music. I learned about their band through your podcast several years ago. Their song Road to Barga is a favorite. I also love The Tinker’s Frolics from their newer album Cas.
