In 2025, we're going on a Celtic Invasion of Galicia in Spain. Galicia is indeed one of the more obscure Celtic nations to those of us who are most familiar with Ireland and Scotland. Find out more at CelticInvasion.com. 9:43 - IRISH DRINKING SONGS FOR CAT LOVERS In 2003, I was back from Dragon Con chatting with a friend on the phone. The Irish song “Wild Rover” was stuck in my head as we started talking about cats. The chorus came around and I started meowing. An idea started growing in my head. What if I parodied a bunch of traditional Irish drinking songs with lyrics all about cats. I wrote my first three songs before the end of October. I then found Ari Koinuma in Austin to help me produce the single. I set up a website at CatDrinkingSongs.com. In December, someone posted the idea to Fark. I had 20,000 website hits in one day and hundreds of comments. I knew this was a great idea. In May of 2005, I launched a podcast to help raise money for a CD of Irish Drinking Songs for Cat Lovers. Thus was born the Cat Lovers Podcast. 10:54 - CAT MUSIC LOVERS #1: “WILD KITTY” AND CATS IN PHYSICS (REBOOT) In honor of the 20 year anniversary of my first cat CD, Irish Drinking Songs for Cat Lovers, I am re-releasing the Cat Lovers Podcast on this feed. I'll also share new stories about the inspiration behind the album creation, including the liner notes from the album.

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. In 2025, we're going to the Celtic nation of Galicia in Spain. We're gonna learn about the history and legends behind the Celts there and experience some amazing Galician Celtic music. Learn more about the invasion at http://celticinvasion.com/ #celticmusic #irishmusic #celticmusicpodcast I WANT YOUR FEEDBACK What are you doing today while listening to the podcast? I'd love to see a  picture of what you're doing while listening. Is there a new Celtic CD or Celtic band that you heard of or saw? Send a picture. Email me at follow@bestcelticmusic. Peter Wood emailed about Stubby Shillelaghs: "Hi Mark, I wrote a few years ago about playing the show with my wife in the car on dates and on our wedding day, and now we are expecting our first child. We don't listen to the show together much anymore, but when we go to the Renaissance Faire we played it (just missed you again!) and I put it on when we went for a swim on a summer evening when she wanted music without getting interrupted by YouTube Music ads. Since this year's Renaissance festival she's asked a few times for Tartanic when she's been in the mood for "my" music. Recently I was listening to a different podcast that plays novelty songs around a theme (Bitslap with KBC if you're curious), and the theme of the week was Drinking, so of course some Celtic - sounding music came up, and for part of a set I thought I was listening to your show! Of the two songs in particular that got me confused, the first was the Vodka Song by Stubby Shillelaghs (https://youtu.be/h9YRbJSbPw0) which I'm unsure if it or the band have ever been played on your show. It was followed by Sober on St. Patrick's Day, and at first I thought I might have heard it on your show, but then when it got going I realized it wouldn't have fit in on your family friendly show. Turns out it's by Psychostick. I know you've got ties to the FuMP collective so you're probably already aware of it. The Vodka Song at least would be a fun one to play if you've got the permission." Patrick Rieger emailed photos from Ohio Renaissance Festival: "Hi Marc, My family and I, along with our friend Chenna from Nashville, spent Labor Day Weekend at the Ohio Renaissance Festival, three days of faire. Ohio is a big faire with plenty of celtic musicians, but even with three days we didn't see them all. We did see Captain John Stout (aka Richard Brentar), Donal Hinely, The Harper and the Minstrel, The Toasted Clover, The Jackdaws, Bettina Baudville, Seán Nós, and The Lady Victoria. I had never heard of a nose harmonica until I met Bettina Baudville; that is what she is playing in the photo. Also I never heard celtic music played on a ukulele until I met The Toasted Clover. Donal Hinely was featured on the Renaissance Festival Podcast years ago when you were still a host, but until this year I had not seen or heard him in person." Despite three long days of working the faire, Victoria was able to join us for a quick dinner one night. And before the weekend was done, the four of us already planned to go back next year."  

[School of Movies 2025] We've been holding this episode back for a special occasion and it seems like 2025 'The year of Joy' is the time to finally crack into one of the richest and most universally gratifying films in history. A hundred years from now, people will still be watching this film, It's a Wonderful Life and The Shawshank Redemption. Accompanying us in this time loop journey from mundane resentment to confusion, to panic, to exploitation, to emptiness, to the nadir of self-destruction, to the revelation of reflection, to the zenith of living to enrich the lives of others, and thus experience repletion is Jesse Ferguson. Jesse is one of the few guests we know who can comprehend the knottiest of time-travel conundrums whilst fully understanding that the story at the heart of what's being told is far more important than any speculative, temporal shenanigans. Plus Bill Murray is a hoot, this is his best film, as well as being the finest offering from his friend and director Harold Ramis. It is endlessly memorable, profound, and touches upon a universality of shared experience. We are all alone, and we are all together.

Travel back to a time before the world of New Century was formed, as this reimagining of Bram Stoker's Dracula bridges the past and the future of the series. This tale absolutely serves as a standalone, hot-blooded, Gothic opera, but it also forms an unexpected trilogy with the first book in the series; Let Them Go and another at the tail end of Phase 2; Nightfall of the Wendigo. A wandering woman wakes on a dark Halloween in Eastern Europe, 1875 with no memory of the past week and a journal with pages torn out. A young noblewoman in fifteenth century Carpathia is put to the test, and begins a new dynasty that will transform her entire world… perhaps others too.

WELCOME THE IRISH & CELTIC MUSIC PODCAST * Helping you celebrate Celtic culture through music. I am Marc Gunn.

Rie writes many things, but one of her favorite things to do is to create a new song and send it out in the world. Thanks to the brilliance of her musicians, they always sound lovely, even though she can't write a note of music. Rie was one of our generous supporters of our Kickstarter earlier this year. She's a fantastic writer and songwriter. In fact, I've set many of her poems to music. Half of my Firefly album, As Long As I'm Flyin' was written by Rie. Most of my album Don't Go Drinking With Hobbits, was written by her as well. She wrote ALL of the lyrics for my album, Pirates vs Dragons. She also wrote the song “Soul of a Harper” which I'll share today as well. Follow the link in the shownotes to learn more about Rie Sheridan Rose. You'll also find a link to her enormous collection of books and writings on Amazon. I am all packed and ready to fly to Scotland later this evening. I have one week in Scotland followed by a week visiting my mom in Italy. I'll try to post a blog on Patreon during the week to let you know how things are going and if we find any new favorite places to hike in Scotland.

Russell Howell emailed: "Tractoring on our smallhold while listening! Really love the show, it is my companion anytime I am on the tractor or making mead!" Maura Goodin emailed: "Good afternoon, I didn't expect to be writing in to a podcast today, but I had yesterday's episode playing while I was working from home today and was pleasantly surprised by the second track you selected, by Keltricity; the set they were playing is all tunes that my dad, John Goodin, composed. He passed away two and a half years ago now. He was a mandolinist and guitarist, who composed a pretty wide range of music from dance tunes to classical pieces; the Classical Mandolin Society of America has preserved his website and blog at https://mandotopia.classicalmandolinsociety.org/, where he collected all his recordings and sheet music (much of it freely available under a Creative Commons license and maintained by CMSA). I see that Keltricity is from Louisville, which makes sense, as my dad was one of the founding members of the Louisville Mandolin Orchestra before my family relocated to northeastern Iowa; he kept in touch with a lot of the local musicians and the Louisville Mandolin Orchestra actually played so many of his pieces that they ended up recording a CD of them (called, of course, "It's All Goodin"). The tunes Keltricity played in that set are all ones that were in the repertoire for my dad's contra dance band, Contratopia, and that recording featured some of his published harmony parts as well. Contratopia still regularly plays for dances here in Minneapolis where I live, at the same folk dance hall where my own band plays, so we're keeping up the music since he's gone. I'm not sure if you've ever played Contratopia on the show, sorry  -  -  I definitely haven't listened to the full back catalog of podcasts, though I've been an occasional listener for many years!  -  -  but I know you've played a track by another band that their pianist is in, Brass Lassie, so if you haven't checked their recordings out, you might like to! Their albums all have a mix of original tunes by band members and traditional tunes in Celtic and old - time styles. They used to tour the DC area contra dance scene and play for the Sunday afternoon all - waltzes dances there, so there's probably more than your average number of waltzes on their albums. Sorry for such a long email! Last bit of fun trivia as a thank - you, the "Maggie" in the tune name from that set is our old family dog, a border collie we had when I was little. (She predated the digital age or I'd include a photo!) My dad wrote so many tunes that he named them after anything he could think of (or just the day he wrote them, if he never got around to a proper name), so there's several named after our various pets. This set has another one named after Maggie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56neWaCahc4 I hope you have a good weekend, and thanks again for the great surprise!"

There's still an RSS feed easily linked on the website too, so any non - cloud based podcatcher should be able to subscribe too. I recently installed AntennaPod because I'm considering moving from Pocket Casts and I see this show among my imported subscriptions like any other." Corey Fitch emailed: "Hi Marc, I've been listening to your podcast for the past year or so and its been keeping me great company on my drive to work! We had a big family celebration last year. It was our 250th anniversary on our small family farm in New Hampshire—my kids are the 10th generation living on the farm. For musical entertainment, we had the Jordan TW Trio (led by Jordan Tirrell - Wysocki) and they were absolutely fantastic—everyone was up dancing and they ended the night with an beautiful acapella Parting Glass. I haven't heard them on the podcast yet so I figured I would put the plug in to get them in the rotation. Thank you for everything you do!"

"If they take the ship, they'll rape us to death, eat our flesh, and sew our skins into their clothing – and if we're very, very lucky, they'll do it in that order." Zoe's description of reavers on the TV show Firefly sounds pretty insane. And every time we meet the reavers in the show and movie, they seem just as insane. And yet… they can fly spaceships.

Badger was a businessman Roots in the community A reaver ate his little gang And now he can't even pee Durran's steak was always rare Before I first met him He met a reaver now won't eat steak He's a vegetarian Bester loved ships and women They howled when he boarded them He shipped was boarded by reavers. Now He howls when they board him. Boss Higgins' word was law What he said was set in stone Then reavers hit Higgins' Moon The law is now written in bone Fanty and Mingo are fine twins You can't tell one from t'other Until they met a band of reavers Now Mingo's the prettiest brother Jubal was a bounty hunter A sadist through and through He rambled about philosophy While a reaver started to chew No mercy, they all were weak Cattle for the slaughter Open them up, look inside I think I see Harry Potter 18:23 - Marc Gunn “Reaver Drinking Song” from Come Adventure With Me 20:57 - CREDITS Thanks for listening to Pub Songs & Stories.

Today, together with Nashville session guitarist Dave Cleveland, we're going to bring you a huge dose of encouragement as it pertains to the journey of a Christian guitarist.To give you a bit of background on what you're going to experience if you're willing to listen to the audio version of today's episode, I've had the privilege of teaching guitar workshops at the Christian Musician Summit here in the Pacific Northwest for fifteen years. Each time I've been invited to teach, I've brought topics related to rhythm guitar, fretboard knowledge, chords, the capo and more, all with a view to equipping Christian guitarists to develop their skills for worship leading and songwriting.My first year at the CMS was 2007, and after road-testing a lot of my teaching concepts for over a decade, I intentionally launched GuitarSuccess4U in 2019. It was there that I began to draw like-minded people into a community where music is a language, guitar is a dialect, and where we work diligently with joy to expand our vocabulary.I'm always growing as a guitarist and as a musician, and my desire to expand my vocabulary is constant. So, at this year's CMS, I was intrigued by a workshop offered by Nashville guitar session player Dave Cleveland. It was all about capos and alternate tunings, both of which I leverage on a pretty regular basis. What followed was unexpected: Dave actually invited me to help him teach the class.With eager onlookers, we delved into multiple capo positions and tunings, leveraged the CAGED System, and called out Nashville Numbers so we could work in tandem.I like to bring a plan, but in this case, there was very little structure, which actually allowed us to explore musical frontiers I didn't even know were possible.Well, I told my tribe of guitarists about this experience and I invited Dave to be on a Zoom call with us to debrief that class, and he accepted.  Dave is a gentleman and a scholar, the first-call session guitar player in Nashville, having played on countless commercials, in movies, and on major albums with people like Steven Curtis Chapman, Miley Cyrus, Twila Paris, Lauren Daigle and more.  Over his 32-year career, Dave has recorded over 30,000 songs.He graciously granted me permission to share some segments from the Zoom call we hosted recently inside the membership.  Typically, I keep these kinds of treats for members only, but I felt like it would be a great way to give you, our listeners here at Guitar Serious Fun, a window into what goes on when we gather for a Zoom call discussion with a guest expert.What you'll sense almost immediately about Dave is that he's super chill, very encouraging, extremely knowledgeable, generous with his ideas, and really, just a brother in the Lord that you're going to love spending a little time with.This was a call where I invited my Guitar Successors, as I like to call them, to type their comments and questions   into the chat, so we could cover as much ground as possible during our brief time with Dave. Here's where I link to my YouTube video that captured the visual aspect of the experience. Now that you've heard a bit of the audio from the workshop, I want to encourage you to listen to the podcast version of today's episode to enjoy a distilled audio excerpt from the Zoom call where Dave fielded a variety of questions and offered some tremendous encouragement to our community. Well, I hope you gleaned a few things from our discussion with Dave.  I smiled quite a lot as we enjoyed that short and sweet time together.As you might imagine, I seek out several experts who join us on Zoom over the course of each year, and each expert brings a different bit of wisdom. We've had Jesse Ferguson talking about in ear monitors and how to leverage them. We've had Jeff Sandberg, a world-class saxophonist, talking about improvisation. We've had Brian Reding, a multi-instrumentalist and producer, talking about the art of listening. We've had Jerry Roberts, a slow-handed Eric Clapton-esque electric guitarist talking about weaving electric and acoustic together for worship and designing an app-driven pedal board. We've had Jeremy Calvin, a wunderkind aux percussionist talking about creativity for solid rhythm grooves with percussion and guitar. We've had Adam Bollen, a super intuitive bass player talking about arranging, rehearsing, and pedal effects. We've had Ron Mallory, a highly published arranger and keyboard player, talking about relevant music theory and transposition. We've had Dr. Gordon Myco, a chiropractor and health coach, talking about health, posture, diet, and longevity for our musical journeys. We've had the Master Luthiers of Mike Lull's Guitar Works talking about the craft of building, repairing and caring for guitars. And we've got more coming up.  Does this pique your interest at all?  Leave a comment if it does.  And if you're rarin' to go and want to find your people, meet guest experts, and most of all, fulfill your potential as a Christian Guitarist, don't wait any longer.Head on over to GuitarSuccess4U.com to begin your journey with us and take your guitar playing to the next level.  I would be honored to serve you, and our tribe would be honored to welcome you in.Thanks for experiencing today's episode, and I'll see you next time.Thanks for reading Guitar Serious Fun!

Regarding the proposed whiskey tour, it's one of my bucket list items to go on an Invasion...but teaching makes it difficult. For this proposal, I start back up August 9, 2024. If you end up scheduling earlier let me know, we're definitely into hiking. Actually this is old now but one of the "what are you doing while listening to the Podcast" was running from Wordsworth's Dove Cottage in Grasmere UK up to Easedale Tarn in heavy rain. Even with rain jackets we got wet but it was glorious and the music matched the scene." Rich Hoffman replied to the Celtic Music Magazine's Christmas greetings: "Thanks for all the great music Mark. It is a true gift to us. Happy 2024! " emilio marco colombo also replied: "Many thanks Marc. And a big hug from Italy! And thank you always for the beautiful music you offer us!" Patrick Rieger emailed photos: "Hello Marc, Here are photos from the Celtic Christmas Music show Celtic Pittsburgh hosted at Mullaney's Harp & Fiddle the evening of December 9th. The performers were Cahal Dunne; Mike Clancy and Alan Booth of Abbots Cross; Bill McShane of the University of Pittsburgh Nationality Rooms and Intercultural Exchange Program speaking about the Scottish room; Kip Ruefle and Lawrence McCullough of the Kip Ruefle Trio; Jessica Willard on hammered dulcimer, and RichPatrick, with (l to r) Sue Borowski, Rich Lange, and Jim Borowski. The pub was packed that night, and everyone had a great time. A big thanks to the staff of the Harp for handling such a crowd so well." Bill Mandeville commented on Patreon: "Great Christmas podcast! A family member commented that the songs were so fresh and original. Not the supermarket fare you hear to ad nauseam this time of year. Here is wishing you and your lovely family a merry Christmas." He wrote a separate post regarding the Celtic Top 20 episode: "I jotted down a couple songs to vote for; but only to find out the songs were from 2012 podcast and not on the list. That's when I got this epiphany. Why don't you reopen the best of (prior year). You can call it  -  Best if 2012: For Real This Time. Gwênlyn Glusman emailed a photo: "Hi Marc, I think I first enjoyed the Irish & Celtic Music podcast in late 2005, but I wasn't much into podcasts then and lost track of it... Then on December 26th, 2022 (exactly one year ago) I did some google images search and a logo caught my eye among the results... and I rediscovered your podcast! Been avidly listening since then, and became a patron in January 2023. I typically listen to the podcast while walking in the neighborhood or while commuting (which I do by bus). It always lifts my mood! Also very much enjoying the Celtic Christmas podcast! Here's a photo from Dervish at the Triple Door in Seattle, November 7th. I heard from you they were touring, and very much enjoyed the show, with friends!" Annelise Laughlin emailed: "Hi Marc, I'm enjoying some quiet time and listening to your Celtic Christmas 2023 episode while brainstorming my New Year's resolution!

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!"

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!"

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!

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."

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.

Thanks for an awesome way to connect. I'm in the west Texas desert but recently found out that a fair portion of my genes come from the greater Dublin and greater London areas. Also a smattering of lower Saxony . My first knowing about Celtic music was when a highschool girlfriend and her mom took me to the Gasoline Alley pub here in town to listen to Linda Grubb's St Paddy's day show. Let me bring the storyteller to heel, and get to my point. My proposal for the name for the instrumental segment or instrumental only shows would be. "Celtic Reconnect" I'm not a patron yet, but those episodes are the second reason I want to make that happen. I have a small group of co - workers and family with whom I share individual episodes. It been a great way to keep communication open when there is nothing that "needs" to be said. Thanks."

But mostly, it features songwriting by Marc Gunn with guests including: Screeched Inn, The Muckers, Jamie Haeuser, Sam Gillogly, Nathan Deese, and Mikey Mason. Selcouth means, “when everything is strange and different, yet you find it marvelous anyway.” The album is not completely Celtic and it's not just science fiction and fantasy. It's a fusion of the two. It's heartfelt and a lot of fun. It's now on sale in my Bandcamp store. Check out Selcouth now. THANK YOU PATRONS OF THE PODCAST!

I love so much variety it's hard to mail it down to five favorites but I'll do my best and in no particular order. Cherish The Ladies, Across The Pond, The Pogues, The Cheiftains, and The Dubliners. I also help a friend of mine with his entertainment company, Shenanigator Entertainment. It gives me a chance to be behind the scenes to promote Celtic music and help out at festivals and concerts."
