Bill Crews emailed on Facebook: "I've now listened to every one of your podcasts. Around September I started playing them, in reverse sequence, at work to drown out the din of the "open office" environment. Last week I finished the last of them. Now I'm ready for the encore season."

Dave Cooper emailed on Facebook: "Marc - wanted to say a big thank you for putting us (Flowers of Edinburgh)  in the podcast a couple of weeks ago.  We were thrilled to have made the cut."

Alexander Randall 5th emailed a photo: "Im sitting in my home on water island in the us virgin islands watching the Queen Mary 2 sailing into the sunset. I just found your podcast, im listening to #371 and loving it.

I love rollicking instrumental celtic music and you are spot on. This is great. I will begin exploring all the others.
I already subscribed and in the morning ill figure out how to send money.

Here is a picture of what i am doing while listening.

Many years ago i was producing concerts, Boys of the Louch, Aly Bain.. In that era i was listening to Fairport Convention and Sandy Denny, dave Swarbrick.. a couple of years back i made trip to Cropredy for Fairport festival and treked to Shetlands for a dose of their music...

Celtic Stone is a favorite, especially “ an old man came in and sat down.” Fabulous piece.

Thank you for making this music available to people who are far removed from the isles and cant get it locally.  Wonderful of you.
