I am happy to announce that we were nominated for best music podcast in the podcast awards.

September 10 - 11 is the Middle Tennessee Highland Games & Celtic Festival in Hendersonville, TN. I’m performing there as a guest. But there are a lot of guests. In fact, I will share some of the music of these bands performing there later in the show.

If you want to come join me at the Games, you will find a special link in the shownotes where you can buy a ticket. And no matter what, if you visit me, come ask for a free Irish & Celtic Music Podcast sticker.

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.

Alexander Randall 5th emailed: "Can't find links. Hello Marc, I love your stuff. I listen every week. Lately I have not been able to find the link. Your e - mail gets longer and longer. The link for the Irish and Celtic Podcast gets lost. When I click I see your smiling face and there are links but they do not seem to take me to music. Sad.

BTE  -  I just heard a wonderful band called Chivalrous Crickets who do Celtic music. I was particularly struck by a tune they did that was from teh Galacian part of Spain  -  Celtic!!"

Spoil The Dance posted on a Facebook comment: "What a great honour to be the cover act for this edition."

Lisa Coffey replied to the Over the Hills and Far Away post on Facebook: "It was an amazing episode. My vote goes to Jocelyn's Wind Rose -  -  Glad to learn about the podcast. Many favorites are featured"
