I really enjoyed being able to take along a varied selection of fresh Irish and Celtic music to enjoy far from civilization or along a cobblestone street after a pint! Last summer solstice I began bicycling alone from CT towards Yellowstone planning to winter in Arizona. 16 months later I returned to CT after 17,000 miles and about 40 episodes of the Celtic and Irish music podcast.

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...

Brad Reid returns to East Coast DNA's apartment studio for a catch up chat with Darcy Walsh and treats everyone to a little performance along the way. Nova Scotia fiddler Brad Reid fuses traditional Cape Breton fiddle with modern acoustic pop and jazz on his new album The Bridge, available everywhere as of May 19, 2023. "The Bridge” is 10 brand new tracks of original tunes, inspired by connecting the old Cape Breton traditions with modern acoustic pop and jazz, from the great Scottish and Cape Breton composers, to contemporary pop and jazz artists like Taylor Swift and Herbie Hancock. Reid describes his album as “like jam session where everyone comes from a different style of music, but then they just let go, and in that moment, that's when the music transcends genres”.

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!"

I share my love of Irish and Celtic music from around the globe with you. I want to introduce you to some amazing Celtic bands and musicians. The artists in this show need your support which you can do by buying their music or telling a friend about the band you found.

I am back from Texas and as you can hear I have no voice. Or rather I only have my sexy voice. Today we are celebrating Earth month. April 22 is Earth Day. April 29 is Arbor Day. So I thought we'd celebrate our planet and trees with this special show. After all, we are stewards of this planet. I want to encourage you to find out what you can do to be a better steward. I found a great article on “7 Tips to Recycle Better” on the Earth Day website. I learned a lot about what I've been doing wrong and how I can change my behavior to recycle more effectively. I also want to invite you to check out The Carbon Almanac. It's a crowdsourced book and website designed to share easy, small changes that you can do to make a huge impact. It was designed by literally hundreds of people around the world to address climate change. There's even a book that's coming out in June. You can find out more about it at https://thecarbonalmanac.org/ WHAT'S NEW IN IRISH & CELTIC MUSIC: BEST OF 2022 Two weeks after the episode is launched, I compile the latest Celtic Top 20 votes to update a playlist on Spotify and Amazon Music.

I'm giving them my views on which are the good bills and bad bills." Jim Whitfield replied on Patreon: "Hey Marc,  Thanks as always for running such an awesome podcast! I historically listened to the show while at the gym.  Well, COVID really impacted my gym attendance, so with the pandemic waning, I've got a lot of catching up to do (both in podcast listening and in physical health)! I'm upping my pledge, hoping to get access to the shows that are concentrated music. All the best, Jim Answering the favorite song question, well, there are many, and I appreciate how easy it is to vote on Patreon.  If I can give one shout - out for a rare jewel, I found Talisk thru the podcast (episode #400 was the first, I think) and now I get to go to their show in Berkeley soon!  Yay!"

I share my love of Irish and Celtic music from around the globe with you. I want to introduce you to some amazing Celtic bands and musicians. You can find a link to all of the artists, along with show times and chapters for each song when you visit our website at celticmusicpodcast.com. You can also support this podcast on Patreon. Next Week: The Women of Irish & Celtic Music I titled this episode “Slow Travel”. Today, I got an email from VisitScotland.com. That's a website promoting Scottish tourism. Since I'm leading a Celtic Invasion Vacation to Loch Lomond in Scotland, I've been subscribed and seeing what they have to offer. Today, they shared an article and video about Slow Travel. That's something that I greatly appreciate and cherish with my own vacations. It's not about seeing everything. It's getting to know an area. Check out the link in the shownotes. And I highly recommend their newsletter. They seem to be leading the pack when it comes to promoting ecotourism and sustainable travel. Stuff I've slowly thought about. But they're really doing it in Scotland. So kudos! Let's get on with the show. VOTE IN THE CELTIC TOP 20 FOR 2022 This is our way of finding the best songs and artists each year. You can vote for as many songs and tunes that inspire you in each episode. Your vote helps me create next year's Best Celtic music of 2022 episode.  Vote Now! It also helps me create the… IRISH & CELTIC MUSIC: BEST OF 2022 PLAYLIST Your votes are tabulated two weeks after the episode is released. The most - popular songs are added to TWO playlists. One one Spotify. One on Amazon Music. I sometimes make errors. So the newest additions to the Playlist are Tuatha de Danann, Doolin', We Banjo 3, Screeched and Marc Gunn Listen on Spotify and Amazon Music. BUY SELCOUTH BY MARC GUNN My new CD is now available. It's called Selcouth. It's an album of almost all original music. There's one traditional tune set and “Loch Lomond,” a traditional Scottish song. The rest of it is a bunch of original songs with Celtic - inspired music. There's a few  comedy tracks like “Mingulay Cat Song”, “Why Do You Torture Me”, “Genetic Counseling Song”, and “Kilty Pleasure”. There's a new hobbit song inspired by Lord of the Rings and a song I think Wolf Loescher sang on this podcast a year ago. There are four songs inspired by the pop culture TV show, Firefly, but fused with Celtic sounds. The lyrics are definitely relevant to fans of the show, but the stories are about real people finding change. One of my favorite parts about the album is collaboration with other musicians like Screeched Inn, The Muckers, Jamie Haeuser, Sam Gillogly, Nathan Deese, and Mikey Mason. It's now on sale in my Bandcamp store. Check out Selcouth now. THANK YOU PATRONS OF THE PODCAST! Because of Your kind and generous support, this show comes out at least four times a month.

I've been publishing the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast since 2005. My host since the beginning has been a great podcast company called Libsyn. I actually left for a couple months with disastrous results. I now host ALL of my podcasts with them. And yes, I have more than the two you hear about on this show. I'm telling you this because Libsyn launched an affiliate program. I don't do affiliate programs much any more. But if there's one I'm happy to talk about, it's Libsyn. I'll be honest. I don't care as much about the money. So you're welcome to use the affiliate link in the shownotes. But if you sign up with them, you will be happier. Sign up now. I WANT YOUR FEEDBACK What are you doing today while listening to the podcast? You can send a written comment along with a picture of what you're doing while listening. What are you doing with your local celtic community? Email a voicemail message to celticpodcast@gmail.com Donald Rice emailed: "Dear Marc,   First of all, I love your podcast, music, and cats.  I just submitted an album from the band I am in -  Poitin.  We are based in Fargo/Moorhead -  Fargo is in ND, Moorhead in MN.  They are sister cities across the Red River of the North, which is the river named in the album title -  Banks of Red River.  What is particularly noteworthy about Banks is that it features Metis music, a tradition which melds Irish, French, and Native sounds and stories.  Though we play many Irish tunes and some originals, Metis music has become our special calling card, having played at many festivals and venues including a recent Metis festival at the Old Treaty Crossing  in Northern Minnesota.  Our music also has been featured at many community and youth orchestra concerts. You can see some of this on videos on our website, which was included in the submission. Thanks so much for considering playing our music on your podcast. Let me know if you have any questions." Buddy McPeak emailed: "Just found the podcast on pandora.  Great music!  I'll be listening from now on. Thanks" Karen H emailed: "Hi Marc, I am a recent Patron. :) I joined so I can expand my knowledge of and listening experiences with other Celtic Musicians. I have very little of each at the moment. So, my favorites that I've listened to for years are: Altan, Lunasa, The Gothard Sisters, The Chieftains, and though she is probably a different category, my all time favorite music artist no matter the genre is Enya. I have so much to explore in the Celtic music genre! I appreciate your podcasts."

I walk early in the morning and this day, the moon was still up and walked with me. My Scottish roots are very deep and we came to North America via Ireland. My mother's maiden name is McCamus which would equate to McKeamish or McHamish probably in Scottish. Be that as it may, we are part of Clan Gunn. One of my bucket list items is to visit the Clan Gunn Museum & Heritage Centre in Latheron, Scotland. Unfortunately, they are not open and I can't travel at the moment anyway. I'm enjoying your podcast. I've been sending the podcast link and some band links to my son in the Navy in Guam. We share an interest in all things Celtic or Gaelic. My favorite band is Gaelic Storm (they play the KC Irish Fest every Labor Day Weekend), but I recently fell in love with Niamh Parsons' voice. I first heard her and her partner on your podcast.?? Have a great day." So many people post on Facebook to say thanks and comment on our Facebook page. I thought I'd share some of those comments. Many from musicians. Bill Mullen posted: "Just listened to the podcast -  nice selection and enjoyed the show -  thanks Marc!" ReillyRocks Irish: "Totally awesome! We are recording new material set to be released in March. Can't wait to share it with you guys!"

Very much appreciated" Susana Seivane posted: Hearts Eric Guarin posted a link: "Mark, you're always asking "what are you doing today while listening to the podcast"? Well today in fact I was running the Leghowney (leg - uh - nee said a local) Loop Scenic Walk near Donegal Ireland! A forest, a wind farm, a bunch of sheep, all lovely.

I went to their web site and bought everything. You played a fabulous piece - Argyle Lassies by Capercaille. I bought all their CD's.  Bought everything. You played a fabulous piece - St Patricks March by the Bookends. Bought everything. You played a fabulous piece - Millers Maggot by the Flying Toads. Bought everything. Same for Altan, Silotar, Barrule, Bothy Band... I can't figure out your voting system, Best this year - cast a vote for the Gothard Sisters Dragonfly.

And thanks for coming back to the podcast. :) Peter Bengtson emailed some more photos: "Hi Mark, I've been back in Tucson for about 10 days after our birding trip to Hawaii.  The Hawaii trip was excellent with about 35 life birds, a good group of people, and excellent guides. I'm back to doing my early morning walks (have to start walking about sunrise for the cooler weather).  The photo was taken looking north to Safford peak with a hot air balloon moving to the right to pass Safford to the east side.  Back in my peak climbing days I climbed Safford a number of times.  It's a great trip with wonderful views from the top. I learned how to connect 3 of your podcasts, so I could listen to your podcasts for the whole time.  Thanks for the work you do to distribute this music." Peter Bengtson sent another photo from October: "Mark,  I've  recently been walking the bicycle trail along the Rillito River.  This was the most dramatic piece of art along the trail.  It shows bats riding bicycles.  The upper bat and bicycle is upside down since the bats hang upside down under the bridges over the river. The second and third messages are information signs about the Mexican Free Tail bats living under bridges.  I couldn't figure out how to get all 3 photo into the same message."

It is because of you that I release this show almost every week. But I want to let you know about a big change this coming to the Song Hengers on Patreon. I started Song Henge in 2006. It was a way to support the podcast when amazing services like Patreon were not available. I sent Song Hengers an album per month of free MP3s from some of the artists on the show. I released 168 of those albums over the past 15 years thanks to the generosity of the musicians on this show. When I started the Patreon page, I continued that feature for everyone who pledged $5 or more per episode. There are over 60 albums currently available for Patrons. However, the world seems to be moving away from MP3s. So I decided to discontinue that service at the end of this year. It's time for a change. I still want something special for Song Hengers. That has finally come. Starting in August, Song Hengers will get a talk-free episode, much like the Sleepytime episode that was released in May. I'll introduce the show, you can listen to the music straight through for about an hour, then I'll remind listeners to look up the artists. Each episode will also include complete shownotes and chapters so you can easily skip around to the artists you enjoy, just like regular episodes. Because I DO want you to keep visiting these artists. But it'll be much more music focused. You can become a generous Patron of the Podcast on Patreon at SongHenge.com.

I started out listening to folk & bluegrass music.  Sometime in the 90s I sort of switched to classical music and opera. The Covid restrictions have pushed me into taking long walks every day.  I live in Tucson AZ, so these days I have to start walking at sunrise (5:30) these days.  I usually walk for about 2 hours.  Yesterday I listened to your Celtic Women #503 on the first half of the walk.  The second half to Aria Code (opera).  On the drive home I listened to Symphony Hall on SeriusXM.  I enjoyed all three. I really don't like "recurring donations"  If you are a tax deductible organization with a Tax identification number, I can make a donation from my charitable account.  If you are not a tax deductible organization, I can send you a check. I'm looking forward to reading the Celtic Music Magazine and listening to your podcast."

I'm listening to the #509 while trying to organize the rest of my year activities, in a cold night here in Tandil, Argentina. I always loved celtic sounds. When I listened to your podcast for the first time last year I immediately liked it. It's wonderful! Thank you! ¡Muchas gracias! ¡Saludos!" Shel O'Toole emailed: "I thoroughly enjoyed today's show. From the opening tune to the beautiful song that you left us with. As I soaked up the sun through my front window the sounds of my culture brought my soul alive and my whole being smiles. Thank you.

Please give us more of your all instrumental sets! My only advice - change up your patter. I have been listening since hte mid 300's and your opening patter has never changed. Give it a rest.  I know your opening spiel by heart. Say something new.  Something new for each opening. "

I told my graphic designer, Miranda Nelson, that the St Patrick’s Day show would be the 500th episode of the podcast. She thought about it and came back and asked, “would you mind if I collected some audio feedback from some of the artists on the show.” I said,” sure! That sounds great!” I’ll be honest, I didn’t expect much of a response. But I remembered that she suggested this when I started compiling this 500th episode. She forwarded me some feedback via email. I looked through them and didn’t see any audio. “Oh well,” I thought. “Less than I expected, but that’s fine.” Then I noticed one band mentioned something about including audio in their email. But I never got that. So I emailed and asked Miranda where that audio was. Her response, “it’s in the folder you set up on Google Drive.” Oh yeah! I did do that, didn’t I? I opened up the folder and was floored to find over 60 recordings by Celtic bands wishing me a  happy 500th episode. Wow! Ye know a couple pieces are easy to pop into an episode. But I didn’t think about how to include ALL OF THESE pieces? So what should I do for this show? Instead of me introducing bands and songs, I’m gonna let the artists do it themselves. I will play their congratulations as a way of introducing their music. Course that means if you want to find out the name of the song or tune, you will need to visit the shownotes at CelticMusicPodcast.com or just check your podcatcher. Because each track has a time stamp so you can easily look it up. That said, I’ll have a few moments to break up the music and say hi. But for the most part this is just music and congratulations. I want to thank Miranda Nelson Designs for all of her hard work in making this happen. Miranda has a whole bunch of Celtic shirt designs you should check out at mirandanelsondesigns.com. And I want to thank everyone who has supported this podcast over the past 16 years. And without further adieu, let’s meet the bands. THANK YOU PATRONS OF THE PODCAST!

I can only strongly agree with your point of view!! Tnx for all the nice music you provide with your podcast (and cd's of course) and please keep up the good work!" Ryan Ferris emailed some solidarity: "Marc, When I heard about the belittling of the Women of Celtic Music, I felt horrible that such a thing could happen. Whoever disturbed the growth of the community we’ve developed here should be disgusted with themselves. Thanks to Susan of Thunder on the Plains and the support you’ve given her, I will be buying the latest album from each artist on that ‘Women of Celtic Music’ episode. I hate to hear of such a thing happening to her and her peers and hope that, because of our actions, the world becomes better and more accepting." James Slaven emailed a photo: "Excellent episode (Celtic Invasions)! As always, of course. I just returned from Cape Breton, Nova Scotia where they have wonderful Celtic culture.  Right now, as I listen, I’m enjoying my first wee dram of Canadian whisky (spelled without an ‘e,’ but not called Scotch) from Glenora Distillery, aged in ice wine barrels.  It’s excellent. (Picture attached.) Also, if Natalie the ethno-musicologist wouldn’t mind sharing links to her work, I’d love to read it, being an amateur folklorist and published musicologist. Also, cheers on The Year of the Celtic Woman!  Some of us appreciate it and love artists of all genders. Slainte!"  

This week's show features a chat with Craig ‘The Whale' Thompson, North Canterbury trainer Bob Butt, Kyle Marshall on how you can win a share in one of his horses, Brad Reid of The Breeders and Bookmaker Richard Wilson.

Listen to Brad Reid's testimony this week as he recounts trying to fit all kinds of other stuff into the God-shaped hole in his life. Straker says most of Brad's problems are great! At the conclusion, it is apparent why Jesus is the only answer.
