For most of my career, I had the time and energy to do everything myself. All of the recording, editing, graphics, online promotion. I did it all. It was exhausting. It was also all before I got married and had kids. I came to realize I needed help over the past ten years. So I put out a call to folks online. Miranda Nelson offered to help me with graphics. Three years later, she now does nearly all the graphics for my music and all of my podcasts. So let me start by saying. Thank you Miranda for all your help and welcome to the pub. How did you find my music and podcasts? What inspired you to want to do the thankless job of graphic design for a nobody musician and podcaster? FOUND MUSIC AND PODCASTS & WHY How did you get into Celtic culture and music? And how long have you been a geek? HOW So this is largely a Christmas podcast. Can you tell me a fun special Christmas moment in your life? Something that made you smile? SMILE And finally, do you have any Christmas song requests that you’d like to hear? Thank you so much Miranda. It’s great chatting with you. In addition to the graphics she does for my podcast, Miranda has an online store at mirandanelsondesigns.com. She has some fantastic Celtic shirt designs through TeePublic, including a Firefly/Doctor who crossover shirt. 17:49 - SPOTLIGHT SONG: “Castle of Dromore” by The Selkie Girls from Winter Lore: Songs of Celtic Christmas 21:21 -TRAVEL WITH CELTIC INVASION VACATIONS.

Email a voicemail message to celticpodcast@gmail.com James Slaven emailed a photo last year: "I’ve very much enjoyed the holiday music! The main podcast’s Christmas was a great cherry on top.  Listened while baking Busha Bread (my great-grandmother’s recipe) for family holidays. Keep it up!" Brian Stuepfert of Sacramento, California emailed a photo: "Training for a marathon with celtic and Irish music in my ears." Neill McShea emailed: "Hey man, Just got back from a trip to Asia so I hadn’t actually heard any of the recent podcast. Nice job on the track titles! Sounded like a true Gaeligor!" Thanks also to Neill for helping with my Gaelic pronunciation on many of the recent episodes of the podcasts. Michael Vitagliano emailed: "Hey Mark! My wife and I are listening to episode 430 while driving from Galway to Dublin. It’s our last couple of days on the Emerald Isle and one stop is definitely going to be Cobblestone in Dublin for some amazing live trad tunes. One thing I’ve been surprised about being over here is the lack of cd shops. Back in the States we stream everything, but I understand why artists over here don’t want to be on services like Spotify. We’re going to explore Claddagh Records tomorrow and I’m optimistic we’ll find a pretty solid selection. I don’t know how much more work it is for you, but to include album links in the episodes would definitely help us in finding the artist and knowing which album to purchase. Just throwing that out there. Love the podcast, we’ve been binging it these past two weeks here in Ireland. It’s definitely made the experience that much more special." Joseph Rosenthal emailed: "Hey Marc! I've been listening for about 2 months now and love hearing the diverse styles of Celtic music and helps me expand my knowledge on artists. I was going to email a favorite local Celtic group I listen to religiously during the Maryland Renaissance Festival called The Hooligans, but I'm unsure if you've played them already since you and they've been around for a couple years. Is there a condensed archive of Artists you have shared on your Podcast available? Keep up the good work! And good on you for imploring that no hate comes to your podcast! I like the focus on the positivity!" #celticchristmas #irishchristmas #scottishchristmas

Promote Celtic culture through music at http://celticmusicpodcast.com/. CELTIC PODCAST NEWS * Helping you celebrate Celtic culture through music. My name is Marc Gunn. I am a Celtic musician and podcaster. This show is dedicated to the indie Celtic musicians. I want to ask you to support these artists. Share the show with your friends. And find more episodes at celticmusicpodcast.com. You can also support this podcast on Patreon. This is the final episode of 2018. It is also your votes in the Celtic Top 20.  Every year, I ask you to vote for your favorite artists in each episode. At the end, I compile your votes into the Celtic Top 20. These are your favorite songs and tunes of 2018. This is not in any particular order. But these were the twenty most-popular songs and artists of the year.  Now if you enjoy any of these artists, please remember to support them. Buy their music and merch. Buy tickets to shows. Follow them on Patreon or Spotify or send them a few bucks. Let's get on with the music. I was talking with a lot of my musician friends recently. Across the board CD sales are diminishing. Yet, many artists make their living playing music. We knew this was coming but most musicians haven't found out how to adjust. So it comes down you to support the music and arts you love. In show #349, I listed a bunch of Celtic musicians on Patreon. Some of you who are Patrons of this Podcast already know how easy and awesome it is. If you know of any other artists there, please let me know. I'd like to update that list for 2019. Or if there is a special way you support Celtic music, email me.  I am updating the Top Irish & Celtic Music Playlist on Spotify over the couple weeks. This past year, I was hoping to update it every week or every month. But time prevented from doing that. So I came up with an alternative.  I'm gonna add ALL of the available songs from the Celtic Top 20 since it started to this playlist. This will be a massive list of over 200 tracks. Please follow a link in the shownotes to follow the playlist.  The playlist has 240 followers right now. Which is fantastic. But I want it to grow. I want something that will make money for these amazing artists who so generously support the podcast. If you're in a Celtic band and want your music heard on this podcast, go to 4celts.com and submit your music.  If you know a Celtic band that you think should be on the show, please talk to them. Tell them about our and our amazing community. My goal is to help independent Celtic bands be heard. You can make that happen. Finally, I am updating how you vote in the the Celtic Top 20 for 2019. Keep an eye on our newsletter for details. 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 it's culture, history, and legends. You can join us with an auditory and visual adventure through podcasts and videos.  2019 is the Celtic Invasion of Star Wars. 2020 is the Origins of Celtic Invasions. You can find out more about these two exciting trips. Join the invasion at http://celticinvasion.com/ THANK YOU PATRONS OF THE PODCAST! The Irish & Celtic Music Podcast is listener-supported.

Many thanks from Rob and the kids - Cheers. Jack and I enjoying Lake Pontrain episode" Joanna Fedewa messaged a picture on Facebook: "Hey there! I love your podcast! I’ve been listening to it for a few years now and recently became a patron! I usually listen to the podcast when I’m commuting or driving around the valley I live in, which is in Alaska! Today I was listening while on my way home from my Irish Dance class! It’s about a half hour drive for me so the podcast is great fun to listen too and watch the scenery! Here is a picture of Mt. McKinley! Or as we Alaskans call it Denali! This is a picture about seven miles from my house! Which is around 300 miles away from it! The mountain is the largest in North America! I love being able to see that mountain on a clear day!"
