Good morning Marc, It's Saturday afternoon in Fall of 2023 and I'm searching for a way to fill the Brian O'Donovan - sized hole in my heart after 10 years of the Celtic Sojourn on WGBH in Boston. I find the Irish and Celtic Music Podcast and begin tapping my foot and smile. Two years later I'm bouncing my 6 week old on a yoga ball and hear "a reminder to be present with those who you love" and tear up. Thank you for creating and nurturing spaces of joy and celebration alongside mourning and grief for me and so many. I'm really enjoying the new series on folk songs and stories. My 2 year old particularly likes the jigs. In gratitude, Paul Rubino" | |||

Cheryl Arvio emailed photos from Milwaukee Irish Fest: "Hi Marc, Back from Milwaukee Irish Fest 2025, where my favorite band of the fest this year was Bog Bodies, a band described as "heavy folk" exploring themes of environmentalism and ancient Irish culture. But this year instead of band pics, I thought I'd share a few of some of the other things the fest has to offer. There is an area dedicated to sessions throughout the weekend, and on Saturday afternoon the space is turned over to a song circle, one of the highlights for us. We also love the Hedge School, with its historical and cultural programs. This year we were only able to attend one, but they are always well - researched and well - presented." Christopher Fennell emailed a correction: "Goitse is pronounced "Go - wit - cha". Goitse is a Gaelic word for 'come here' is pronounced - Go - wit - cha" Patrick Rieger emailed photos: "Hi Marc, Summers are pretty busy for my family and I, so listening to whole podcast episodes is not easy. I usually can only catch a bit here and there. We are members of the astronomy club here in Pittsburgh, so I took advantage of a members night at one of the club's two observatories, listening to some episodes of the Irish and Celtic Music Podcast while taking images of deep sky objects. A night of good music under a clear moonless night and with good company. Here are three photos from that night. One is of the Eastern Veil Nebula in the constellation Cygnus, the remnants of a star that blew up. Another is of the galaxy Messier 101 in the constellation of Ursa Major. The last is terrestrial in nature, from my chair on the grounds of Wagman Observatory." | |||

I'd love to see a picture of what you're doing while listening or of a band that you saw recently. Email me at celticpodcast@gmail. John Golden answered the question, What are you doing while listening?: "Often working BUT usually play the St Paddy's episode for the family feast." James J. Grefig replied: "Hi Marc, This St. Patrick's Day I hope I'll be listening to your podcasts." John Mahony replied to the Celtic Music Magazine: "Hey Marc, Thanks for everything you do to promote Irish and Celtic culture! I usually listen while working on technical stuff. It relaxes me and helps me keep up with newer bands. For St. Patrick's Day, I will be going to a lower - key party rather than hitting the bars, though I might stop at one or two. I help produce live Irish and Celtic music shows year - round, so I guess the answer is that I'm just doing more of the same!" Edward Birdsall emailed: "Greetings; What am I doing while listening - out for daily walk if it is not raining or snowing here in Georgia (1 - 2hours long) also I listen while donating platelets at the Red Cross which I do on average every 6 weeks which means 2.5 - 3hrs of show for that " Chris Raisin replied to the question, 'What are you doing while listening?': Usually lying in bed with my eyes closed (but not asleep). And for Patrick's Day? "Probably the same as I do for any other day (being 73 years old, single and living alone having lost contact with all my friends due to those infernal lockdowns we had in Melbourne." He's celebrating "By just listening to your great podcasts each time they are issued and remembering back to my days as an energetic Scottish (yes, not Irish) Country Dancer and Highland dancer (not so good at the Highland stuff…LOL). I still have a kilt in my closet (a bit moth eaten now) which I ceased fitting into about 30 years ago. Keep up your great sessions, and I look forward to (I hope) a bonus session. Slainte!" | |||

Mike Coombs messaged me: "Hi Marc, I'm listening to your brilliant podcast for the first time in ages, recovering from an awful week of covid - it's still with us and very real. I've been vaccinated and had the booster shots and I'm pretty fit but it was still awful, so goodness knows what it would have been like if hadn't been vaccinated! Anyway I just wanted to say how uplifting and healing it is to listen to such great music. Thank you so much for producing this. I can afford to subscribe only a small amount each month but it is worth very much more. As a musician myself I appreciate how much a show like this can help what is not the most popular music in the world - even though it should be - to come to the attention of more people. It is great to hear so many great musicians and tunes that I have never heard before. You just mentioned Heather Dale whose album Fairytale I bought after hearing her on your show so I shall make sure to check out your next podcast! When I am better I shall probably send you an old recorded track of mine that you may want to play. I am hoping to get an album mastered as soon as I can afford it, but this track I think fits the Celtic criteria so it would be interesting to see what you and your listeners if you decide to play it think. All the best and keep producing these great podcasts " W Danny Studstill sent some photos on Facebook: "We build shillelaghs while we listen ☘️"

"District 2" being the City Council East Village, Gramercy Park, Kips Bay, Lower East Side of Manhattan ? Our family, including our 9 & 11 yr old daughters listen to the podcast on Sundays when going to music lessons ( and to practice Irish dance lessons ) I am running to represent the district in City Council and would love to represent/ promote a local band(s)/artist on the campaign trail. My husband is clipping together video clips and always needs a good song. We plan to have a meet and greet at our local Paddy Reillys bar ( lot of history there !) - so who knows, maybe we'll at some point have a venue / gig for them - hopefully a victory party. Thanks for any response. Election coming up Tuesday so we will be in full campaign mode non stop til then - things will happen fast. Hope this gives you some inspiration / ideas and hope to hear from you or artists soon ( feel free to pass on this email / address ). "

Marjie Kennedy replied to the Celtic Music Magazine feedback request: "I wanted to let you know that on March 17th I will be at the Hibernian parade in the Dogtown neighborhood of St. Louis Missouri. St. Louis has two parades each year because the Dogtown one is on March 17 every year, and the downtown St. Louis one is always the Saturday before St. Patrick's Day (unless the 17th falls on a Saturday, in which case I think they end up both being the same day). I will listen to your podcasts either before or after those festivities. And this past Sunday, March 12, I celebrated by including some Celtic music and other Irish tunes on the radio program that I host on KDHX.org called Lotsa A Cappella. Thanks for all you do for Celtic music!" Tera Bochik replied: "I'm usually driving around doing my patrol rounds as a security guard. Unfortunately I have to work on St. Patrick's day. (Missing the First Annual 20th World's Shortest St. Patrick's Day parade in Hot Springs, AR.) I celebrate by listening and sharing about the podcast to anyone who asks what I'm listening to." Von Rothenberger replied from Lucas, Kansas: "Happy Birthday! Erin Go Braugh! Thank you for all that you do." Rick Cunningham of Boxing Robin replied: "Hello Marc, Many thanks for including Boxing Robin on Vol 2 of the St. Patrick's Day podcast! Have fun at the gig tonight - we're playing 80 miles away but at least it's a fairly early gig! All the best. Tom McHugh sent a photo: "Hello Marc, One of the things I like to do while listening is make pens. The first picture is a Celtic - themed ballpoint pen I recently completed. The second picture is what two pens I recently made looked like while they were still on the lathe at our local makerspace. Thanks for making the podcast! I've very must enjoyed listening to all the new music!"

On St. Patrick's Day I am cooking a meal for my wife's family - a tradition since we first started dating. We will also listen to the Dropkick Murphys concerts from years past, if they don't have one live on YouTube. We will be singing along - my wife's Irish born grandmother can't make it this year, but we WILL be making a phone call to far off Minnesota." Stacia Ahlfeld replied: "We'll probably be doing school while listening. My kids like Irish and Celtic music as much as me. I am hoping to go to a nearby town's St. Patrick's Day parade. The town's name is Ireland, so they kind of blow it up. We'll probably continue to listen to music, and I might tell some stories." | |||

Ethan Sellers of Logical Fleadh emailed: "Hey Marc - Just wanted to send a belated thank - you for the Mother's Day spin. Such a nice thing to highlight the women in Celtic music. The strong presence of women - especially instrumentalists - in traditional music is one of the things I really appreciate about the field. Cheers," Ann Peck McBride emailed: "I first heard the podcast about 13 years ago! And it's taken me all this time to become a Patreon member. Sorry, Marc! I'm embarrassed to say I listen to your podcast while I'm doing housework. (It's a treat I give myself so that I'll actually do the housework) I am always surprised at the wonderful new Celtic artists you play. I first listened to you because I needed to hear all the Celtic music I could. I listen now, partly for that reason, and partly because for the last few years, I have co - hosted a Celtic Music Hour program in Salem Oregon, on KMUZ. As my friend (and I think yours) Steve Behrens said, "We've fallen down the rabbit hole of Celtic music!" And here in the Pacific Northwest, we have a LOT of Celtic musicians... Thanks" Debra Roche emailed a photo: "Hello, Mark, I recently played your St Patrick's Day 2023 podcast from SiriusXM and loved it! Many years ago (1985 - 1991)I had opened The Celtic Cottage & Roche's of Ireland in Davenport, & Bettendorf, IA which brought me to do an Irish show at St Ambrose University for their college radio show. How much fun that time in my life was! Whenever you give back to your community it is just the best when your family roots are connected! As my father's parents where from County Limerick Ireland. Glin & New Castle West. Hope you're well and thank you for your music podcast!" Melissa Helman emailed a photo of her dirty dishes: "So exciting, I know. Keep up the great work with the podcast." Christopher Patrick of Salem, MA emailed a couple photos: "Hello Mark! I can't tell you how happy I am to have discovered the 'Irish & Celtic Music Podcast!' But I'm gonna try, all the same! You see, in my childhood, my 5 siblings and I would get loaded up into our family station wagon every Saturday morning by our mother. She would then proceed to drive us all into Boston for our weekly Irish Step Dancing lessons. Our rides both in and back were spent listening to Boston's AM's radio show, 'The Irish Hour,' and later, 'The Irish Hit Parade,' (still on the air to this day!) So, those jigs and reels were ingrained in us in our step dancing, and the other traditional music was from our rides there and home. My mother soon landed us an agent, and we, the six kids, danced all around the Greater Boston area. So, it is no real big surprise that these days, I play in an Irish Music Band with my family. Comprised of myself, my brother, two sisters, and brother - in - law, we perform under the name of 'FitzBlarney,' based in Salem, Massachusetts. I've attached a coupla' photos for you, too - one of the six of us in our 1970s step - dancing attire, and one from this past St. Patrick's Day, where FitzBlarney played out at The Witches Brew pub in Salem. The music you play means a lot to me, so, I recently became a patron. Just out of appreciation! Thanks again, and 'Sláinte!' P.S. I would love to one day get on your podcast! That'd be so cool!" | |||

Shel O'Toole emailed: "Hi Marc, I spent 5 months wandering around Ireland back in 1998. I loved Glendalough in County Wicklow. It's so picturesque and there is some great walking in the area. I also enjoyed walking around Tralee toward Dingle. I didn't get to Dingle but rambled across low hills through sheep filled paddocks. I did get to Mayo and of course visited Matt Molloy's pub in Westport where I was mistaken for Dolores Keane. That was such a hoot and the look on the faces of the two men who were trying to determine if I was indeed "herself" when I said g'day in my broadest Aussie accent was priceless. One of the guys I went to Irish World Music School with had a salmon farm near Westport. That was 25 years ago so who knows if he's still there. He was a flautist so if you're at a session you may run into him. Malin Head was a gorgeous place to visit, especially Raised Beach where you can scoop up semi - precious stones that have been worn smooth by being tumbled in the waves for years. The only place I visited in Ireland I did not fall in love with was Derry. I look forward to your stories from your immersion in Mayo. Sláinte"

I just booked the house that we will be staying at on next year's Celtic Invasion of the Isle of Man. The invasion is all booked up. However, there might be a second invasion added in August. So if you're not yet, subscribed at celticinvasion.com, make sure you go ahead and do that. The Secret World of Celtic Rock compilation CDs that were funded on Kickstarter last month, they have arrived. I hope to do a listening party for that album next week. I'll let you know the details as soon as I have some and when the physical CD is on sale on my Bandcamp page.

Thanks. I Usually work around the house. I especially like to listen while doing yard work." For St Patrick's Day? "Hanging at two of our favorite Irish pubs, drinking Guinness and Jameson, and listening to some great Irish bands. We constantly have Celtic music on in our house and we are planning a trip to Ireland this summer. Our trip three years ago got squashed due to the pandemic." Travis Senzaki replied: "Hi Marc, thank you for continuing to put out this podcast year after year! This St. Patrick's Day, the podcast is really my only connection to Celtic culture, so I'll be spending the evening listening with my kids. Over the years of listening, I have moved from the US to rural Japan, where there is no other access to my Irish roots. I have to travel to even find Guinness on tap. But thanks to you, my kids have picked up on Celtic music (or "Daddy's car music", as they call it) and even recognize it when some of the common themes find their way into movie or game music. I hope to continue sharing this music and culture with them as they grow older, and your podcast remains my best resource to do so. Thank you! Thanks again for all you do! I'm looking forward to listening to the St. Patrick's Day episode(s) over a glass, even if I have to pour it from a can. Slainte!" Sarah Shorter replied: "Good morning Marc. We are enjoying some autumn sunshine down in new zealand. I'm listening with my son (18 months old) and he loves the show. St Patrick's for us will be attending play centre (a parent run education centre) where we will be making shamrock fairy bread.( green sprinkles on buttered bread cut out with a cookie cutter) quite a conglomeration of celtic and new zealand cultures. We will also be bringing in a play list to share with the kids ( aged 0 to5 ) I'm just putting it together now starting from the best of 2022 and 2023 Playlist.. Kia Ora"

They focus on american civil war music. But on one of their albums, Irish chanty, if i remember right. I gained an appreciation for the irish/celtic genre. Not sure if its possible, but if there was an episode based off of irish music focused on war songs sung in battle that would be an awesome episode. Thank you for everything you do, ive been listening for years now off and on, and it never fails to make my day brighter." | |||

What a talented artist with a beautiful voice. I may have to get me one of these cards." David Van Horn replied to a picture and funny song request: "Marc: One of my most favorites funny songs from you is "Beer, Beer, Beer." I neglected to take a photo of the brisket. It was devoured quickly so no proof remains." Andrew Kruspe of Black Market Haggis replied: "Marc, Hello! First, I hope y'all are doing well, and that you had a wonderful St. Patrick's Day season. We did here, and we thought we would share some photos from a special event that we did at Lowe Mill in Huntsville. We had a "hands - on concert." We played a 45 minute set, and then we passed out about 35 bodhráns and taught the audience how to play a reel. They then joined us for a tune! You can find photos here: https://www.facebook.com/100064734638890/posts/pfbid02PEteGt8yjyeavAz4BY57cW9dYBRFaA6ry139e9MsNDeVSC666aGmigBor1brm1pql/ Take care, thank you for your work, and have a wonderful week!" Maureen R replied: "St. Patrick's Day is a family day, starting with donuts, then Mass at St. Colman, one of the oldest churches in Cleveland, that for decades had supported a largely Irish immigrant neighborhood. This Mass is the start of the day for the West Side Irish American Club. The dignitaries and club marching units from pipes and drums to tiny pom pom "Bridgies" march into the church with all the regalia of the annual St. Patrick's Day parade. Parts of Mass are read in Irish Gaelic, and familiar Irish songs and readings are shared. The lighting in the church is changed to green uplights and the hall is filled wall to wall with families in Irish sweaters and Irish pride. After Mass and the marching units parade out of the church, everyone heads to downtown Cleveland for the annual St. Patrick's Day parade, one of the largest of its kind in the U.S. and one of the only St. Patrick's Day parades that is always held ON the day. After the parade, families disperse to the many parties all around town. After marching in the parade, I will head off to entertain the crowds with my band, Ballinloch for the last performance of a two week non - stop Irish adventure." | |||

For St. Patrick's Day we love to listen to Irish/Celtic music all day so if it's in a podcast, we'll add that for our listening pleasure. And we ALWAYS have corned beef dinner!" Darin Wallace of the Stout Pounders wrote: "For St. Patrick's Day I am celebrating by playing music all day in pubs in Seattle, WA with my band Stout Pounders. We would love it if you featured one of our upbeat newer tracks from our Pour Decisions album. :) Enjoy the big day and happy birthday in advance!! " Gordon Webb replied to the Celtic Music Magazine: "While listening I relax back in a recliner with my feet up. For your St. Patrics show, the more the better. Thanks for all of your years of shows." Catherine Koehler replied the Celtic Music Magazine: "I know I only need to answer one of the questions but I'm an overachiever so I will do all three. What I always do while listening is something school related - I'm either grading papers or looking up or creating new assignments. I used to be quite low on St. Pat's but I have finally realized that there are many ways to be happy on this day of Irish celebration. I live in a very "unusual" area that has no Irish culture at all. I am a Celtic performer who must travel quite a distance in order to perform at festivals and events but that is impossible during the week since I work a regular job. I used to be sad to see all of my friends on Facebook singing and playing all week long! I wanted so much to be with them and enjoying the festivities. Then I realized that I was blessed to spend that time with my family...making an authentic Irish meal (NOT cornbeef and cabbage) and listening to those same friends on a mountain of CD's. There are, of course, Irish libations involved. : - ) Now I look forward to the day as it was originally meant to be; a chance to share our faith and our heritage with others."

Will be starting the feast day with a Mass then full Irish breakfast!!" Adam Young replied: "Hi Marc - - I'm usually working while listening, doing graphic design work or something similar...or just sitting and concentrating on the music itself. I've got two gigs on St. Patrick's Day, so I'll be out in the pubs (2 - 5 pm and 8 - 10 pm) in Sydney, NS, and joining a fellow artist (who you've featured recently), Mary Beth Carty, at her session in the morning. That's also how I'm celebrating the culture through music this St. Patrick's Day! Our focus is more Scottish music, but we'll be throwing as much Irish into the mix as we possibly can...and staying away from green beer and pots of gold and leprechauns... Best of luck on the show(s)! Thanks" Roger replied: "Greetings Marc from Kendal UK its snowing. been making a Shepherds Pie for tea while listening to the last episode with the odd stop to practise my bodhran against a song... i need lots of practice... keep up your good work. your podcast is essential listening especially if you have a ceiling to wall paper. best regards"

You can send a written comment along with a picture of what you're doing while listening. Or send a picture you took of a band that you saw. Email me at celticpodcast@gmail, message me on Facebook, or contact me through Mastodon @celtfather@c.im. Phil Hartline replied to the Celtic Music Magazine: "I listen in my shop, where I make musical instruments and general wood projects. I am celebrating Celtic Culture through music by learning to play the fiddle! I have a wonderful opportunity to learn true Co. Clare style from a man who spent a lot of time there. Beginner that I am, I will still be playing tunes on my fiddle to celebrate!" Paul replied: "Marc, I was sitting at my computer writing code ... as one does .. "For St Patrick's Day?" I will be participating in an Irish Road Bowling event with my co - workers at the Green Bank Observatory in Green Bank, West Virginia We started back in October, listening to music for Samhain, then continued into November and December with Celtic Christmas ... and really we listen to Celtic music year - round - but I will be celebrating Celtic culture by wearing the green on Friday while I'm busy at Ból an bhóthair, then hoisting a proper stout afterwards. Going to a fife and drum reunion in July (in Williamsburg, VA), where I will be playing a heck - ton of good Irish, Scots, and Welsh music (as well as a smattering of German and English marches, because, well, 18th C. Military music was all over the place) We always enjoy your shows!!!" PENNIERICH replied: "During the show we usually take a break and just relax and listen." Jesse Ferguson emailed: "I'll be listening to the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast at work that day, then practicing my favourite Irish songs at home on my guitar. Finally, I'll be activating a new Irish song on my YouTube channel, to share with my subscribers, a tradition I've kept going for over 12 years." Michael Maccarone emailed: "Marc Gunn, I usually download episodes and stockpile them. I listen to them on (my rare) vacations, after I have broken them down into 20 - 25 minute chunks (my mp3 player won't rewind within a track, so I split each episode into 3 - 5 mini episodes, which makes it easier if I missed something and want to go back). As a result, I'm only up to episode #430 so far. I don't have any specific Celtic culture plans [for St Patrick's Day] for this week, other than I just watched the Oscar - winning short, An Irish Goodbye yesterday, and hope to get to the Banshees of Inisheerin in the next couple of weeks. Keep up the good work!" | |||

WELCOME IRISH & CELTIC MUSIC MINI PODCASTI'm Marc Gunn, and I launched a Kickstarter for the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast on Thursday. I need your help to make this a smashing success. This is the second 6 - Pack Mini episode you're getting as we promote the campaign which ends on August 11. You can find a link to all of the artists in the shownotes, along with show times, when you visit our website. And if you want to make a Song Dedication for a very special Dedication episode in December, you can do that as part of the campaign. Go to celticmusic.org/celticrock to make a pledge. CLOSINGI hope you enjoyed the show. In the last episode, I mentioned the Album Pins. Well, there will also be physical CDs funded by this campaign. I'm only printing 100 copies. The album hasn't been available in probably 10 - 12 years. So this is your chance to own the limited - edition album. And if you're concerned about Climate Change, like I am, then I'd like to recommend that you also get a Celtic Earth Tote Bag as well. I'm gonna bet that single - use plastic bags will no longer be allowed at grocery stores in the next 10 years. California is already doing that as are many countries around the world. It's great for the environment. So you can get ahead of the curve and do something great for our planet. There are lots of other rewards to check out.

One of the main things I'm funding with this campaign is an Album Pin. Album pins are lapel pins. But each album pin is themed to a specific CD. So when you own the album pin, you'll also get the associated album, so you can wear your album on your sleeve. This year's design reminded me of my compilation, The Secret World of Celtic Rock, that I released at the start of 2005. So I decided to use that as an excuse to re-release the physical CD as well. So you're gonna get the album and the enamel pin if you choose that reward. There are lots of other rewards to check out. Follow my link at celticmusic.org/celticrock to make a pledge.

My wife and I listen to your podcast every time we're in the car. And I listen at work. On St. Patty's Day we usually go to a good Irish bar for some Guinness and shepherd's pie and sometimes Bangers and Mash, depending on when we get there. A few years ago we were lucky enough to go to Great Britain, Ireland and Scotland; a great 10 day vacation. Last week (Saturday) was our Dublin, Ohio's St. Patricks Day parade and we always go to the Dublin Irish Festival in August. Our favorite bands are Gaelic Storm, We Banjo 3 and Eileen Ivers. It was a thrill to be there and listen to these amazing musicians. The Dublin Irish Festival is ALWAYS a great time! Thanks again for sharing your musical talent, and creating such a wonderful listening experience! Slainte to you too, Marc!" William Fisher emailed: "Usually I'm working on the computer listening to your podcast but I download to a portable player so I can listen in the car or whenever... For St Padraig's Day, The Irish social group I belong to is part of a day - long celebration in William's Park, St Petersburg FL. with music, food and games : - )" Rebekah Hedstrom replied to the Celtic Music Magazine: "Usually driving while listening. We are going to have a quiet St Paddy's day this year. Corned beef and staying at home. :0)" Brian McReynolds sent you a message on Patreon: "Just got the shirt I ordered and the bonus shirt. Thank you. I love them both. I think I will wear the new one tomorrow and the 2016 shirt Friday. Oh, and an early happy birthday to you. 😁" Dennis McCarthy emailed some St Patrick's Day photos. He wrote: "Hope that you like these."

In 2023, we're going on a Celtic Invasion of County Mayo in Ireland. We're gonna explore the area and get to know Grace O'Malley, the Pirate Queen. Learn more about the invasion at http://celticinvasion.com/ #celticmusic #irishmusic #celticmusicpodcast I WANT YOUR FEEDBACKWhat are you doing today while listening to the podcast? You can take a screenshot of the podcast on your phone. You can send a written comment along with a picture of what you're doing while listening.

Email me at celticpodcast@gmail, message me on Facebook, or contact me through Mastodon @celtfather@c.im. Hannah Reifler emailed: "Working on emails while enjoying some delightful Celtic music!" Susie Brown replied: "When listening to the podcast I'm usually trying to unwind after a labor intensive day of cleaning." Sarah Fletcher replied: "Hi Marc, I am currently working while listening to the latest Celtic music podcast. It helps me get through the day. Thanks" Daniel Faigin emailed: "Well, first, I'd like to encourage you to go back to putting the show number in the show title. It helps with how I organize things in iTunes. What are you doing while listening? Generally, it is on in the background while I work, after I play off that day's playlist (not listened to in 3 years). If a song particularly captures my ear, I look up the artist and either purchase an album from them, or add it to my Amazon wish list. Found a number of great groups that way, through not only this podcast, but Mostly Folks and the Woodsongs podcast." Go to MageNetwork.com for more podcasts. PNiceberg emailed: "Hi Marc, Thanks for all your hard work and efforts. What are you doing while listening? Either working or out walking my dog and enjoying the fresh sounds of your show! I am listening to more Celtic music as well as trying my hand again at learning to play bagpipes!!!" Patrick Rieger emailed a photo and wrote: "Hi Marc, I have been listening to your podcast for years, having learned about it back in 2006 when you mentioned it on the Renaissance Festival podcast. Today I was listening to the Irish and Celtic Music podcast while airbrushing a small model of the starship Enterprise - D, and enjoying the early renaissance festival weather we were having here in Pittsburgh. I help promote Irish and Celtic culture by being an admin on the Facebook page, Celtic Pittsburgh, created by my friend and Irish musician, Susan Borowski, to spread the word about any events regarding Irish and Celtic culture in western Pennsylvania. Before that, I made the Facebook event for the late Terry Griffith, for his monthly show at Mullaney's Harp & Fiddle Irish Pub in Pittsburgh. Thank you for the many years of music and I look forward to many more." | |||

The words of the returned soldier M Edgerley would be powerful enough on their own but when presented by the wonderful voices of Jonny Dyer and Vicki Swan and their musical accompaniment they are deeply felt. I was moved to tears. I tend to avoid ANZAC Day as it seems to have become a promotion of war rather than a remembrance of the horrors and loss. This song took me back to when I was a child and the purpose of ANZAC day was to acknowledge the futility and ongoing impact of war. This Aussie thanks you. Regards" Brian McReynolds sent a picture: "So on my (local) travels, I wore my podcast shirt with my kilt while touring the B Reactor on the Hanford Nuclear Site in Washington State. It was well received by a tour guide and one of the people on the tour. Love your podcast and everything you do for the artists. '' | |||

Tom Morley emailed around St Patrick's Day: "Marc, Our Chattanooga - based band Stringer's Ridge played a concert on St. Patrick's Day at the John C. Campbell Folk School in Brasstown, NC. (I am there on the faculty at the famous folk arts school usually once a year teaching beginning or intermediate Irish Fiddle.) We had a wonderful crowd and it was a great way to spend the best Irish day of the year! I am enclosing several photos of us at the historic Keith House where we put on the concert. (Tom Morley - fiddle, Fran Morley - bodhran, Bryant Haynes - guitar) Thanks for all you do to promote Irish trad music!" Marilyn S. Hansen sent a photo about Easter Rising Band: "14 seminarians got together years ago in St. Louis and developed an Irish band. Most of them are married now. They play at each other's weddings, but they also have regular gigs. The interesting part is how their kids take part… This is last year's celebration. I was out of town this year celebrating my sister's birthday the day before St. Patrick's Day. Thought I'd send you last year's photo. I'll send you a few that they've sent to me for this year. Pete Watson emailed St Pat's photos: "Hi Marc, The Bookends had a fabulous time playing a number of shows throughout Ontario around St. Patrick's Day.Attached is a photo of Miriam (left) and Cait (right) on St. Paddy's Day for our gig at The Rec Room, Toronto, with our regular special guest bodhrán player extraordinaire, Romano Di Nillo.Romano is just back from 4+ years with Come From Away on Broadway and we were so glad to have him with us for these shows.The venue was handing out some "paddywhackery" to attendees and these 3 couldn't resist putting some on!" Bruce Cummings, a Piper emailed a photo: "Hey Marc!Just to say how much I enjoy listening to the Celtic music you provide. You asked for pictures from St. Patrick's Day 2023, so here's a couple. I am part of the Lane Fire Brigade Pipes and Drums in Eugene Ore. We had a great weekend piping in the area.Keep up the good work!" Jim O'Connor of Boston Blackthorne emailed a photo: "Hi Marc -hope you had a fabulous holiday! Boston Blackthorne played 3 nights in Western MA, centered around St Patrick's Day as well as the big parade (the nation's oldest) in Holyoke MA.We played to crowded enthusiastic fans in Northampton MA and Holyoke MA.But perhaps the best gig (and story) was the one that arose spontaneously back in the lobby of our hotel after our St Pat's evening show. The hotel lobby is most frequently empty but this night is was crowded with about 100 boisterous folks from Minnesota, visiting Massachusetts to support a Women's college Hockey team. We were approached by the unofficial spokesperson who pointed at our guitar and fiddle and asked, "Can you really play those?" I answered of course we can, and this is your lucky night!Not only has your party been invaded by musicians, we are an Irish band and this is St Patrick's Day! We proceeded to unpack our instruments and did a set of singalongs like Charlie on the MTA for the Boston connection.Halfway through the set our wives came into the lobby -my wife grumbled to Pete's wife, "This party is going to keep us up all night!"Pete's wife Maureen looked a little closer and exclaimed, "Hey that's Jim and Pete in the center of it all!"They joined the fray, we had the best gig of the year playing for this group of strangers from the Midwest, wonderful folks who doubtless went home with a great tale and the definition of the work "Craic!"

I had such a fantastic time on my Celtic Invasion of County Mayo. I kept a personal blog on the trip that I'll publish in the coming weeks. You can also find pictures scattered across my different profile pages. If you're thinking of going, I think my favorite things were the cliffs on Achill Island. There were some stunning views. And my absolute favorite was Downpatrick Head. There were more stunning views, but there was a blowhole that went under the cliffs which made it interesting to see too.

Cheers" Ann Peck McBride emailed photos: "My Ceili group, Ceili of the Valley, here in Salem Oregon, has a "walkabout" every St Patrick's Day, complete with the Willamette Valley Pipes and Drums. Everyone wears green and has a good time!" Caz of Crikwater emailed photos: "Marc, Thanks for reaching out…Happy belated St Patrick's Day! we have a bunch of pics from last weekend. Buffalo,NY goes all out for the High Holy days…we have 2 huge parades!!!!(and two irish fests over the summer) ..one parade on Saturday through the Old Irish Neighborhood and one on Sunday through the middle of Downtown…so that results in a BIG Party weekend with LOTS of gig opportunities… We played 16 shows in three weeks in March (all on weekends)..Last weekend alone we played 7 gigs in 72hrs!!! NOBODY in the music biz works harder than Irish musicians in the month of March!!! Hup! I'm attaching a few pics for you." CRIKWATER Pic 1…We played KeyBank Arena at an NHL game to a crowd of 19,000 - pregame & between periods of the Sabres v Bruins on Sunday 3/19 CRIKWATER Pic 2…Sportsmens Tavern, Buffalo NY..sold out CRIKWATER Pic 3… Ploughshares Barn, Canandaigua, NY..sold out CRIKWATER Pic 4…Molly Maguires Pub, SouthBuffalo, NY..max capacity(we definitely exceeded Fire code - don't mention that please😉) CRIKWATER Pic 5…75 Stutson Street with our good friends Dady & Ryan in Rochester,NY..sold out I got a private message from Bob on Patreon which I felt needed addressing in a public format: "Marc: I am going to end my Patreon sponsorship of your podcast. The cursing on your podcasts irritates me and I don't think it syncs up with celebrating Irish culture nor a fun, family oriented atmosphere. One example: the Magic Dragon podcast - - Forkroot "Coyotes at the Dump" from Water & Shade, about 20:16 mark. So rather than me being irritated and you being irritated at my reaction, I'll wish you the best, but I sure don't get where you are going." I did respond to Bob's comment, but I thought I'd address it here too. I did catch that explicit word in Forkroot's song. Unfortunately, I was not listening closely to songs right before I headed out on vacation. They were the type of band that I did not expect to hear foul language from. So yes, I messed up. I am terribly sorry for anyone who had to endure the explicit language. As you should know, I do my best to keep episodes of the podcast family - friendly. And as I told Bob, if you ever hear explicit language on the show, please please email me ASAP so that I can correct that error. I rely on your generosity to help me catch these problems. I caught the language problem a day after the show went live and removed the song from the public version of the show. I left it in the Music - Only episode on Patreon, but that song was removed, also from the Celtic Top 20. | |||

We are going to spend most of the day at a local Irish Pub that is having live music all day including the band Beltaine which has been on the podcast. That night we are seeing The Gothard Sisters in concert." Bart Creedon emailed: "Hello Marc - 1. Living the life of Reilly, since I was fortunate enough to be able to retire last July. 2. I'll sport a little green, consume a little Guinness and look to stay out of too much trouble. 3. I've been listening to Delia Murphy's recordings. My curiosity was piqued having encountered a fictionalized version of her in Joseph O'Connor's "My Father's House", a novel primarily about Hugh O'Flaherty's exploits during WWII in Nazi - occupied Rome. I also discovered that Joseph O'Connor is brother to Sinead O'Connor, one of my favorite Irish singers. Thanks for asking." DawnMarie Sharit replied: "I listen while I am doing tedious work, because it gets done so much faster, and I typically have a huge smile on my face, if not a wistful tear in my eye!" Kelly Frenette replied to my email: "Let's see.... Of course I'd love a bonus episode! What are you doing while listening? Wood turning, resin casting or driving. I'm keeping my ancestry alive and remembering the celtic history. I always have it playing in the background while I work."

We played three shows in three days, traveling through wind, rain and cold to several different towns. Happy belated birthday to you, as well!! Attached are a few pics from our celebrations. The posed shot is at Anakeesta Mountaintop Adventure Park in Gatlinburg, where we played on St. Patrick's Day. Taking our Irish Celtic music high up in the Great Smoky Mountains to entertain for the holiday was most fitting and special. And while the howling wind and blowing rain were less than pleasant, they gave us the sense of actually being in Ireland! Thanks again for writing, and for all you do for Celtic musicians! We love your show." Sean Malloy of Band o'Brothers emailed a photo: "Hey Marc! Happy Belated Birthday & St. Patrick's Day! Hope you had a wonderful time and a wonderful gig with your daughters. Attached is a picture of Band O'Brothers as we prepared to roll through the streets of New Haven in the St. Patrick's Day parade. We had a blast playing out songs for the joyful people along the parade route, and after we completed the parade route we even stopped our float outside a neighborhood bar to play a few songs for the revelers. We had a great day!"

The poem is titled "A Returned Soldier's Lament" I've renamed the song 1924 partly because I have made small changes to the text - and have added a verse, but also the date is really significant to the meaning of the words. The poem references WW1 from that date: being 6 years after the war ended, 9 years after the majority of the ANZAC troops joined the war and 8 years after their greatest involvement and losses both at Gallipoli and all along the Western front. Oh - and it's going to be on our next duo album that will be out sometime this year. Caveat warning, however; - we're so busy doing a load of other things - including the beginnings of a new Purcells Polyphonic Party album as well as festivals and folk clubs and recording for TV and games…. that any plan for launching is going to have to be quite vague. 44:20 - Vicki Swan & Jonny Dyer "1924" 50:12 - THANKS 51:48 - Paddyman "The Best Pub Party in the World" from One for the Road 54:36 - Kellys Wayke "Walk the Mile" from Kellys Wayke 58:10 - the commoners "What's Your Whiskey For" from What's Your Whiskey For 1:01:42 - Michael Maloney "'Round the Mountains of Mourne" from January Hopeful 1:05:32 - CLOSING 1:07:11 - The Druids "South Australia" 1:09:35 - CREDITS The Irish & Celtic Music Podcast was produced by Marc Gunn, The Celtfather and our Patrons on Patreon.

Scott McCreary replied to the Celtic Music Magazine: "Hey Marc I listen to the Irish and Celtic music podcast while whittling and or wood working, cutting the grass in my two acre yard or at break time at my job at Amazon. This St. Patrick's day I don't really have plans but will definitely have corned beef for supper. I may get ambitious and make a coddle or stew at some point. I have always heard that you don't choose Ireland. Ireland chooses you and that's my case. I am an Irish descendent but have never been to Ireland. I eat up all I can about it I.e. the language, music, movies and pictures and culture. I celebrate Ireland every day " Marguerite Kearns replied: "I am just listening to the content of your songs and music. Doing nothing else. Some things don't fit well with multitasking...you fit into that category. Onward" Michael Corbett emailed: "Hi Marc! This is Michael from Seldom Sober. You were a great supporter of ours when we released our last CD in 2019. I'm sorry to tell you that Colleen, the other half of Seldom Sober, is having health problems. It would really lift her spirits for you to play one of her tune sets. Since our last CD was 4 years ago it doesn't get much attention anymore, but she loves hearing that we're being played around the world. We were actually big in New Zealand when the CD first came out. Just let me know which episode it's on. She knows I listen to your podcast, so I'll just tell her I heard it Thanks for your consideration! Please keep up the good work! You sponsored the main stage at the Savannah Irish Festival in 2019, and we appreciate that!" | |||

Mary Beth Carty commented on Facebook: "Sometimes you just gotta go to the fair, and when you're there, you gotta... move through it Thanks for the spin, it's an honour!" Dan C sent a message on Patreon: "Hey Marc. Heard your request for new bands and I feel the Drowsy Lads would a excellent band to feature. I've heard them play on the main stages of the Dublin and Milwaukee Irish Music festivals. I personally sent them a submission form from your website and hoping they fill it out because their music is great. Thanks for all the hard work you do for the podcast. Cheers my friend" Bill M messaged on Patreon: "Hello Mark, You have asked for feedback hundreds of times over the past 15+ years. But there was something about your 534th request that moved me to type you this message. I am among the listeners who you once called – "the original iTunes 1,000". I think I started listening to your podcast at the same time I discovered iTunes. Figuring out how to download your podcast is the basically all I know how to do with my iPhone. I am not any good with this social networking stuff. In fact, I am not even certain if I am on the right website right now. This message will likely shoot pass the Serenity and end up in the nihility of empty space. But I will keep typing in the event this message somehow ends up on your desk. I literally listen to every one of your podcast at least once a year and more likely two or three times a year. Before you get a restraining order, let me explain. I have a small goat dairy with about 15 goats. I play your podcast for several hours a day, several days per week. I download between 10 to 20 podcast every other week. My sound system loops them over and over again, Monday through Saturday. On Sunday I put on a playlist of religious music for the kids. Your biggest fan is my #1 goat, MayBelle. If I can figure it out, I will attach a picture of her. You might say I am writing you in her behalf. MayBelle really likes the lovely voices of women singers. Sometimes you catch her taking a pause to listen to an angelic voice. She will stand in the doorway of the barn, where the music is the loudest, and sway back and forth, just listening to the music. And sometimes a song will make MayBelle throw a hoof my way. MayBelle listens to your podcast while I am milking her. She normally stands peacefully; but when you play some punk rock Celtic music; the change in tone startles her and she starts kicking. So since you keep asking for feedback, here it comes. You might want to consider doing a shout - out before you start playing the more heavy, rock - and - roll music. Say something like - "Hey MayBelle, here comes a head banger!" This way she can go to her happy place for a while, or at least I get a cue to watch out for flying hooves. When I am not around the barn, I like to listen to your Pub Songs podcast. In fact I am listening to Sci - Fi Pub Songs Podcast #265 as I type this message. I don't play these podcasts in the paddock because some of the songs and stories have adult content that are not suitable for kids. {just kidding - maybe} A little more feedback. I really like the way you link the singers to your podcast. You introduced me to the Wicked Tinkers, Boston Blackhorn, Irish Rovers, Three Mile Stone – just to name a few. Your podcast makes it easy to find their websites and download songs for my eclectic collection of Celtic tunes. I even downloaded some of the headbangers that make MayBelle's ears bleed. You have given me and my goats so many hours of wonderful and delightful music. From all of us at MT Acres, we say – thank you, thank you, thank you......" | |||

Shel O'Toole replied: "I am usually working when listening to the podcasts as I work from home. The music keeps me motivated. I often play a podcast more than once during the week. I celebrate my Celtic culture most Sundays and every second Thursday at local Irish sessions where I play bodhran, banjo or guitar. One of my own songs has become a session regular and is a firm favourite of the patrons at the pubs where we have our sessions. Cheers Marc, PS I love the podcast." Mattie Dalton emailed: "This year, I will not be in the parade. My plan at this point, is to cook a fantastic meal and have all the kids and grandkids over to share and enjoy their heritage! I'd love to hear all your music or anything you put out. Love you kiddo!!" Ben Doran emailed: "While listening to the podcast, I am either doing light chores or culling through emails. Never too far from the speaker, or the playlist; so I can highlight songs/artists to take a further/deeper listen to. I am going to be playing three shows on St. Patrick's Day, two with Ar Ais Aris, and end the night with a great Irish songs and tunes concert for the Wild Hog in the Woods Folk Cooperative. Then, after all that: either a nap OR some Bailey's and Jameson, then a nap. Circling back: rehearsing, rehearsing this "holiday" season. Learning some new tunes, polishing up some old ones. Enjoying the fellowship while playing!" Teresa Finley of IrishFest Atlanta sent photos from the attendance at the Atlanta St Patrick's Day parade.

Dennis McCarthy emailed: "Love the show. Been listening for a few years. I most always listen while driving. I play the bagpipes so I am very busy during the month of March, especially on Saint Patrick's Day. The pipe and drum bands that I am in have been playing at many local festivals and private parties in the Saint Augustine area. Thank you very much" Ellen Mandeville replied: I often do housework or go for a walk while listening. I plan to cook potato leek soup and drink Guinness on St. Patrick's day.

Karl has his ready list and I've attached mine fyi. I have a show on Wednesday night and will be playing an interview with Kyf Brewer with the Barleyjuice Band from Pennsylvania and playing a few new tunes from Daori Farrell, the High Kings, Doolin', Barleyjuice and Martin Hayes. I hope that you have a great time and fun shows." Eric Guarin (gwa - reen) emailed a question: "Hi Mark, over time the Podcast has included bands from literally all over playing a pretty wide variety of music. Some of it strays quite far from trad pub music - I'm not complaining, it's all great, but it does make me wonder: How do you decide what to play and if it is "Celtic" enough? Cheers," | |||

In 2026, we're traveling to the Celtic nation of Galicia in Spain. We'll dive deep into the history and legends of the Galician Celts, uncovering their connections to Ireland, Scotland, and beyond. We'll walk the same lands where Celtic warriors once roamed, hear the myths passed down through generations, and experience the magic of authentic Galician Celtic music, alive with passion and history.

Joseph F Dumont emailed: "Hello Marc, I love your shows thank you. I listen to them during my daily walks. When I don't listen to your show, I walk about one kilometre every 12 minutes or so. When I hear you play some great Celtic tunes, my pace picks up drastically as I walk to the beat. Then I am going about 9 minutes per km. It is awesome. I have now lost over 30 lbs and am closing in on my 40lb goal. You should promote this music as a weight loss program. I am also interested in advertising on your site, as you said in the latest podcast. For $100 a month, you would promote my ad. Can we discuss this, or how do I proceed?"

Mari Voipio commented on Facebook: "Let's just say that my utility/laundry room isn't ready for its closeup… But Celtic music makes all the sorting and folding and putting away a bit less boring." John Sharkey White, II sent a message on Patreon: "The danger of using the WayBack Machine and listening to older podcasts, is that I'm discovering bands that for whatever reason didn't stand out the first time, but now I'm loving! Is Bad Haggis together anymore? Can't find much on the inter webs. Keep up the excellent work!" Molly emailed a computer picture: "Hello Mark et al, really enjoying the Irish & Celtic Music podcast – thank you! The website mentioned an interest in Sci Fi & that you sometimes write music for sci fi themes, so I am curious - have you ever written music relating to the TV Sci - Fi series Firefly (2002/2003)? Your podcast asked for a picture of what we are working on while listening – well, here it is – the ever - exciting operations guide for our microwave reactor (non - nuclear). It's a gallop of a read! My company uses these reactors to manufacture materials that will hopefully reduce the environmental footprint of batteries and other items. I would love sometime to join you all on the Celtic Invasion tour! It comes down to the usual – time and money. 😊 Best regards," Check out the In the Verse, Pop Culture Songwriting podcast. | |||
