Jonathan Roussos emailed: "Marc, I have been a listener for many years and finally became a patron.  I have spent many hours listening to the podcast, largely while driving long distances.

I was first introduced to Irish music many many years ago with the Irish Rovers and the Chieftains.

I have been a morris dancer (not quite Celtic) for many years and eventually started doing Irish Set and Ceili dancing and my daughter competed Irish Dancing when she was young now.

Going through a serious case of withdrawal from live Irish performance and dance.  Thanks for helping to keep me sane."
