Irish & Celtic Music Podcast
This is the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast #717. Today, I’m sharing the very first Highlight Reel we released over on Patreon. Highlight Reels are music-only episodes. They feature some of the best tracks, as voted on by fans of the show, from the 5-7 previous episodes. So these were all from the beginning of 2022. Patrons of the Podcast get Highlight Reels every few months. You also get Music-Only episodes every week. I won’t be introducing individual songs or tunes. Instead, you can go to the shownotes at to find out who’s who in this episode. If you like Music-Only episodes or this...

Folk Songs & Stories Flashback episode on the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast #716. ! This is an off-week for the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast. I was not planning to schedule any episodes here.

Those episodes vary greatly from shows where I talk about the songs I perform, interviews and occasionally, I have episodes like this, which are sort of like short versions of the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast, except sometimes I talk a little more about...

WELCOME THE IRISH & CELTIC MUSIC PODCAST
* Helping you celebrate Celtic culture through music. I am Marc Gunn.
This podcast is here to build a diverse Celtic community and help the incredible artists who so generously share their music with you. If you hear music you love, please email artists to let them know you heard them on the Irish and Celtic Music Podcast. Musicians depend on your generosity to keep making music. So please find a way to support them. Buy a CD, Album Pin, Shirt, Digital Download, or join their communities on Patreon.
You can find a link to all of the artists in the shownotes, along with show times, when you visit our website at celticmusicpodcast.com.
If you are a Celtic musician or in a Celtic band, then please submit your band to be played on the podcast. You don’t have to send in music or an EPK. You will get a free eBook called Celtic Musicians Guide to Digital Music and learn how to follow the podcast. It’s 100% free. Just email Email follow@bestcelticmusic and of course, listeners can learn how to subscribe to the podcast and get a free music - only episode.
ABOUT THE NEW ADS IN THE PUBLIC FEED
If you’ve been listening to the show over the last couple of weeks, you will have noticed something new to the show. Ads placed at the beginning and ending of each episode. The show has been published regularly for almost 19 years with very few ads, outside of those for my Celtic Invasion Vacations and Patreon.
I’ll be honest. I’m not a huge fan of advertising…or corporations in general. And I’m still deciding whether I’m gonna continue having ads in the show.
The fact is that this podcast costs a decent amount to produce as I’ll tell you about later. We’ve built something incredible here. We have a large number of Patrons of the Podcast who support this show each and every week. It’s mind - blowing the amount of support this show gets.
But it doesn’t cover all of my expenses. And there’s so much more I’d like to do to reach more Celtic music fans, which requires money. This would be one way to help us grow our podcast.
So if you don’t like those ads, please become a Patron of the Podcast, because they are not included in any of the Patreon shows.
THANK YOU PATRONS OF THE PODCAST!
You are amazing. It is because of your generosity that you get to hear so much great Celtic music each and every week.
Your kindness pays for our engineer, graphic designer, Celtic Music Magazine editor, promotion of the podcast, and allows me to buy the music I play here. It also pays for my time creating the show each and every week.
As a patron, you get music - only episodes before regular listeners, vote in the Celtic Top 20, stand - alone stories, and you get a private feed to listen to the show. You get it all, without those ads at the beginning and end of the regular episodes. All that for as little as $1 per episode.
A special thanks to our Celtic Legends: Bill Mandeville, Marti Meyers, Brenda, Karen DM Harris, Emma Bartholomew, Dan mcDade, Carol Baril, Miranda Nelson, Nancie Barnett, Kevin Long, Gary R Hook, Lynda MacNeil, Kelly Garrod, Annie Lorkowski, Shawn Cali
HERE IS YOUR THREE STEP PLAN TO SUPPORT THE PODCAST
- Go to our Patreon page.
- Decide how much you want to pledge every week, $1, $5, $25. Make sure to cap how much you want to spend per month.
- Keep listening to the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast to celebrate Celtic culture through music.
You can become a generous Patron of the Podcast on Patreon at SongHenge.com.
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. Learn more about the invasion at http://celticinvasion.com/

I WANT YOUR FEEDBACK
What are you doing today while listening to the podcast? Please email me. I’d love to see a picture of what you're doing while listening or of a band that you saw recently.

Sherron Sloan emailed a photo from St Augustine Celtic Festival: "Marc, you've got to check out the St. Augustine Celtic festival sometime. That's where I first heard the Gothard sisters! It is such a fun weekend."
Ryan Weyls emailed some photos: "Hi Marc, I've attached photos from a pair of shows I went to this weekend:
Dàimh at the Town Crier in Beacon, NY and Derek Warfield and the Young Wolfe Tones at the Rambling House in the Bronx. The lighting at Rambling House was a bit harsh and didn't agree with my phone, so I've only included two photos. Both bands sounded excellent. I might be checking out the other version of the Wolfe Tones (the one led by Derek's brother) later this week and will send photos if I make it. Thanks for your wonderful podcast.
Tim Hughes emailed photos from the Madison WI Shamrock Shuffle: "Had to listen to I&CMP during the run! Before and after pictures."
