Do you have a story to tell? Pub Songs & Stories is our companion podcast. I share the stories behind the songs of musicians, mostly Celtic ones. But I would also love your stories about songs you’ve connected to on this podcast.

If you have a story idea, email me [email protected]. Put Pub Story in the subject. Perhaps I’ll ask you to record your story.

The latest episode features stories by Laughing Jack (show #501) and Turf Fire Liars (show #506). Plus, there’s some Stars Day fun.

You can listen to Irish Refugees on Star Wars Day right now.

Next time, there’s an ah ha moment about “Star of the County Down.”

The show comes out every two weeks. Listen to Pub Songs & Stories. And let me know, what’s your story?

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/

Francisco Javier Escobar Tejada emailed: "Hi, dear Marc, My name's Francisco Javier Escobar and I write you from Córdoba, Andalucía, south of Spain. I wanted to write you for some reasons: I want to say hello :), to be thankful with you for your wonderful podcast and say I am proud of you! I hear you every day (I listen to your podcast when I go to work (I am a teacher and the school where I work is one 80 kilometres far). Believe me, I am a celtic music musician... here in the land of Flamenco music!

Yes! there are many celtic musicians here as well. I am a whistler and a bodhran player and have a band called Keltya too, three boys and a girl between 15 and 35 years old). We are not the only band in this city. My band knows new musicians and songs thanks to you and your podcast, your podcast is an excellent resource, we enjoy it a lot and you are almost our muse (he he, this is a joke). We invite you to visit us perhaps in our Irish Fleadh in Cáceres every October and of course, to know Cordoba and its impressive celtic culture fans. Thanks a lot for your music (which I use with my pupils) and your podcast. We also wanted to encourage you to speak at some point about Spanish celtic music and Spanish independent bands such as Ambulancia Irlandesa, Carrion Folk or Rivendell.Just dig a bit and you will find many surprises in Spain as well. Best wishes, your friend!"

alexander randall emailed: "It works! You played the St Patricks Day March with the Bookends and I turned around, went to Spotify and listened to the whole album, then went to iTunes and bought the album. You made $10 for the Bookends! Thank you! Keep feeding us rollicking jigs and reels. My only request is to minimize the overlap between cuts in your podcast so folks can carve it up into pieces and just listen to the favorites over and over. When we like it WE BUY... Where is David Clausen of Celtic Stone in Austin. Find him and his hammer dulcimer."

Finally, I missed a few congratulatory emails from the 500th episode in March.

Robert Gabb of the Celtic Rock Band Brynmor emailed: "Congratulations Marc for reaching your 500th episode, keep up the good work, it's always a pleasure listening to the show. All the best"

John, Trix, Karen, Jennifer, Felicia, Mike, and Daphne of The Homespun Ceilidh Band said: "thanks for spreading Celtic music farther and wider, and we look forward to the next five hundred episodes!"

Saby emailed: “Of course I would like to congratulate Marc on his success with the Irish and Celtic Music podcast. I wish him all the best with all his projects and always a happy song on his lips. Best regards from Germany”
