WELCOME THE IRISH & CELTIC MUSIC PODCAST

* Helping you celebrate Celtic culture through music. I am Marc Gunn. I’m a Celtic musician and host of another show, Pub Songs & Stories. The Irish & Celtic Music Podcast is for fans of Celtic music.

It is here to build a diverse Celtic community and help the incredible artists who so generously share their music with you. Like Brother Sea.

I was thrilled to have Brother Sea join me on my Celtic Invasion of Scotland a couple months back. They came to our cottage. I learned about the band. And they sang a few songs for us. I’m thrilled to share that interview with you today.

You can find a link to the band in the shownotes, along with show times, when you visit our website at celticmusicpodcast.com.

Email follow@bestcelticmusic to learn how to subscribe to the podcast and get a free music-only episode.

If you are a Celtic musician and want your music featured on the show, I would love to play your music. 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. Again, just email follow@bestcelticmusic

I also want to thank our Patrons of the Podcast. There are some big format changes happening on Patreon. I really appreciate your patience as we make this weird transition. Thank you for your continued generous support.

Remember to cast your vote in the Celtic Top 20 as soon as possible. All voting ends for the year next Friday, December 13, 2024.

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.

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.
