What's masters rowing like in Ireland? Gerry Murphy is Chair of the Masters Representative Committee for Rowing Ireland. A big increase in member registration has happened and masters are now 18% of total rowing registrations. Clubs see the benefit of having masters groups. There are many other regattas offering masters events - they will put in events entries secretaries are generally willing. Many heads of the river - Galway and Enniskillen - which include masters. Overseas guests are welcome in Ireland. Most clubs have some form of masters rowing group - including Skibbereen who started a group recently. Gerry's club, Neptune, started an adult learn to row class and most of the graduates are in the rowing leisure group - there are 70 members now. They do tours and exchanges with clubs in France and Portugal. Innovations in masters rowing. There is a coach education programme. Most clubs want masters because they see the benefits as they volunteer and grow the club. The 1k Classic (Carrick on Shannon) is a new event which Gerry hopes will become the official Masters Rowing Championships in future. Future plans - a proper structure for masters programmes development, coaching development, a co-ordinator for masters in every club who can give guidance. It would be nice to get better equipment as well, possibly dedicated masters boats. External guidance to Rowing Ireland may be possible for masters. We love it and we have a smile on our faces - folks are jealous of us. Gerry encourages people to find their level in the sport and enjoying that.

Join me for My Chat with John O'Connell in West Cork Distillers in Skibbereen. My wife Sonya and I visited John on a very, very rainy Saturday afternoon and we were welcomed with open arms. What an amazing distillery John O'Connell, Ger McCarthy and Denis McCarthy have built. Supporting well over 200 local jobs in their locality, buying only Irish grain for use in the distillery and running over 16 different stills with 4 more in production, this is an impressive large craft operation. You will not find a more intelligent, gentle and humble person in the Irish whiskey industry than John O'Connell. A big thanks to Cathal O'Brien from West Cork Distillers for arranging this for me.

My air pods and smart phone are working fine so I'm listening to your podcasts.  Thanks for posting new ones weekly. I've been watching various remodeling projects and water features installed in peoples front yards." Leonard L. Streeper emailed a photo: "Dear Mr. Gunn, I love your show and thank you so much for bringing me music that I love. My only criticism is you weren't around in the late 80s when I fell in love with this genre of music and records were as rare as unicorns. I like to write fantasy books while listening. The music helps keep me in the mindset while covering up the sounds of the modern world. Once again, thank you so much for all you do. Sincerely," Fabio Fiorelli emailed: "Hi Mark! In one of your episodes I think you were looking at irish and celtic italian bands. I'd like to promote a band from my hometown, called "Whisky Trail". They are extremely genuine, even studying how the history of Florence intersects with that of the Irish" 57:18 - Tullamore "Paddy's Lamentation / Da Full Rigged Ship" from Two To Get Ready 1:02:43 - A Campo Traviesa "Harvest Home / La Botte D'Asperges (Danzas Tradicionales) (Irlanda y Francia)" from The Kid on the Mountain 1:04:47 - Tina Appel & Rüdiger Reinhardt "Theidhir Abhaile Riú" from Live in Mülheim 1:07:48 - Eamonn Flynn "Sack Em Ups" from Anywhere But Home 1:11:59 - Colin Farrell "The Drunken Acrobat: Riverton Road, The Rambling Wreck, The Drunken Acrobat" from On The Move 1:15:51 - THANK YOU PATRONS OF THE PODCAST!

Promote Celtic culture through music at http://celticmusicpodcast.com/. BUY SELCOUTH BY MARC GUNN My latest CD features Sci F'Irish music. That means it is original songs fusing pop culture themes with Irish drinking songs. There are some traditional music on the album. 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. TRAVEL WITH CELTIC INVASION VACATIONS Every year, I take a small group of Celtic music fans on the relaxing adventure of a lifetime. We don't see everything. Instead, we stay in one area. We get to know the region through its culture, history, and legends. You can join us with an auditory and visual adventure through podcasts and videos.
