CELTIC PODCAST NEWS

* Helping you celebrate Celtic culture through music. My name is Marc Gunn. I am a Celtic and Geek 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.

One of my main goals in creating this podcast was to help Celtic bands make new fans and sell more albums. But the business is changing. So I created a Top Irish & Celtic Music playlist on Spotify to reflect that change. Every couple o'weeks I update the playlist with your favorite songs and tunes featured in the latest episode. And of course, I will also compile your favorite music into the Celtic Top 20, featuring the most-popular songs of 2018. Check out the playlist. Then vote in the Celtic Top 20 to help these bands make new fans.

Do you have a quick and easy way to listen to the podcast? Yes. The show is available in every podcatcher. But we also have our own Irish & Celtic Music Podcast app. And it's free! Visit our shop to download the app today.

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.

One of my favorite places on the Celtic Invasion of Brittany was the Cairn of Gavrinis in the Gulf of Morbihan. Fortunately, I made a video of the excursion. You can watch the video on my YouTube channel. And subscribe to see some videos from my Celtic Invasion of the Isle of Skye this summer. Join the invasion at http://celticinvasion.com/

I just saw them in concert in Asheville NC a few months ago. It was a great event. Finbar Clancy’s sister, Aoife was there and sung a song with them. She of course is with Cherish the Ladies. It was a delight meeting her and the lads. What a great bunch of guys. And the music they get out of their instruments is amazing. I appreciate your podcast and all you do for CelticMusic. Go raibh maith agat as an ceol Mark. Is maith sin. P.S. if you are ever get to South Carolina let me know, I would love to have a pint with ya."
