WELCOME THE IRISH & CELTIC MUSIC PODCAST

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

This podcast is for fans of Celtic music. Not just the big names you’ve probably heard of. But also the Celtic bands in your neck of the woods, at your festivals.

It is here to build a 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. Musicians depend on your generosity to keep making music. So please find a way to support them. Buy a CD, Album Pin, Shirt, Digital Download, or join their communities on Patreon.

You can find a link to all of the artists in the shownotes when you visit our website at celticmusicpodcast.com.

If you are a Celtic musician or in a Celtic band, then please submit your band to be played on the podcast. You don’t have to send in music or an EPK. You will get a free eBook called Celtic Musicians Guide to Digital Music and learn how to follow the podcast. It’s 100% free. Just email Email follow@bestcelticmusic and of course, listeners can learn how to subscribe to the podcast and get a free music - only episode.

THANK YOU PATRONS OF THE PODCAST!

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 the invasion at http://celticinvasion.com/ #celticmusic #irishmusic #celticmusicpodcast

Ken Brixius emailed: "Hello, So, whatever happened to the download button? It somehow disappeared after Episode #652."

James J. Grefig emailed: "Hi Marc, Nothing special here for Saint Pats. Just sat back and enjoyed the music."

Rick Cunningham emailed a photo: "Hello Mark, We spent it sessioning in Nashville -  photo here is Gypsy Youngraven from Boxing Robin and our friend Bubba Dean.

I'm having hand surgery this week, so we didn't schedule any shows this St. Pat's Day (first time in a while), but we plan to be back in the swing of things this summer. Thanks and all the best"

Dave of Kitchen Party Ceilidh: "As requested. This is the long time band I’ve been playing with for a few years, the Irish Airs. I joined them in 2022 upon the retirement of their founding guitarist."
