    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/ #celticmusic #irishmusic #celticmusicpodcast

    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.

    Email me at follow@bestcelticmusic.net

    Ken emailed: "Marc, I enjoy listening to your downloaded podcast while baking the morning breads at our local bakery and while being the outside greeter at church. The music puts a smile on my face and spring in my step. I am especially interested in your celtic invasion trips because vacations of this type are exactly what my wife and I want to do in retirement. Have you visited a place quiet enough for senior citizens who love bicycle riding?"

    Ben Q emailed: "Hi Marc, I don't think I've ever been asked a direct question on a podcast before! To answer your question about what episode and when it was that Niamh told this story, it was is in show #552: Reel Fairies, and her story starts around the 47:53 mark. It's totally worth a re - listen; she is so funny. Also wow, yep, that episode was almost two years ago. Time flies!"

    Patrick Rieger sent Some More Irish Pictures: "Hello Marc, A few more photos to share.

    First up, a few of Terry Griffith, the last few times he was on a stage with an in - person audience at Mullaney's Harp and Fiddle. One is from the 2020 fundraiser for the Pittsburgh Saint Patrick's Day Parade on February 13, 2020, and another is from his gig on February 28, 2020. Within a few weeks, the words Covid and Coronavirus quickly became part of our daily vocabulary, and the shows came to an end for a couple of years.

    On June 4, 2022, we had a retirement party for Terry. The best part of the night is when he strapped on a guitar and led the packed pub in A Health to the Company. There were tears and cheers for him throughout the evening, but most came during that special song.

    The last photo is from tonight, January 27, 2024. John McCann on acoustic guitar and Hamish on percussion packed the Harp & Fiddle. Lots of great music and an interactive audience."

    Howie Broyles commented on Facebook: "Love the podcast. I have always liked Celtic music and anything to do with Scotland or Ireland. It wasn't until I took a DNA test that I figured out why. I always thought I was mostly German because of my name and where it originates. Turns out I got mostly my moms side and they are all UK based. Ireland, Scotland and Yorkshire. So now I even enjoy it more knowing that it is my history."

    Aimee Greenfield sent a picture: "Hi Mark, I love to weave and listen to Celtic music. This music has inspired me for the last 30 years while creating! The music is definitely woven into my current project of Turkish Beach Towels. Thanks for the entertainment!"

    WELCOME THE IRISH & CELTIC MUSIC PODCAST

    * Helping you celebrate Celtic culture through music. I am Marc Gunn.

    This podcast comes out four times per month. But every three months, there's technically an off week. That's what this week's show is all about.

    But it is also part of a fundraising campaign for our 2024 Kickstarter. We're funding 100 Celtic Pins, 100 Celtic CDs, and 100 Celtic Shirts for the new year. The campaign closes on Friday. I wanted to send you one bonus episode to remind you to make a pledge to the Kickstarter to support it. This is how you can promote the podcast without filling your Facebook feed full of "Listen to this Podcast" messages.

    In addition to the regular campaign rewards, I added a couple Add Ons that are only available with any other physical pledge. The one I'm excited about is the "Kiss Me I'm Sci F'Irish" album pin. If you're a geek like me, then I hope that appeals to you.

    Alright on to the show.

    Today's show is an all - instrumental, upbeat exercise show. It lasts just over 40 minutes. And it is just the music.

    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.

    NEWS

    Last week, I published a free blog on Patreon–Top 11 Celtic Bands and Artists of 2023. I always find it interesting to see which artists I feature the most on the podcast in a given year. Sometimes these artists crossover the songs and tunes on the Celtic Top 20. It's fascinating to see. Go read the article on our Patreon. Which you can follow and get blogs like this for free.

    Our Make100 Kickstarter campaign is FULLY FUNDED! We funded 100 Celtic Pins, 100 Celtic CDs and 100 Celtic shirts as part of the campaign.

    One of the things I did not plan for was Stretch Goals. It took me a moment, but I came up with one that makes me very happy–an exclusive compilation album.

    Here's how it works. If we can raise $6000, then I will put together a bonus compilation album. Everyone who supports the campaign at $25+ will get a copy. I'll also print 100 physical copies of the album on CD.

    The album will feature 12+ songs and tunes from our Highlight Reels. Basically, I'm gonna contact bands and see if I can license enough tracks for a bonus album. I'll start with the Celtic Top 20. If I can get enough tracks, I'll stop there. If I can't then I will dig into our next most - popular Highlight Reels.

    Go check out our Kickstarter right now.

    Al Ha commented on Patreon: "Happy New Year, Marc! Appreciate everything that you do, thanks for continuing to bring us this great music"

    Ben Q emailed: "Hi Marc, Huge fan with a fun story for you from today: I was changing my daughter's diaper and singing a little song, in this case "The Parting Glass," to keep us both entertained. A lot of the time she will say "Daddy, stop singing!" which hurts a little but is totally fine, ha ha. But today she said "Dad I want you to sing 'Down by yon green bushes!'" That's the first line of a song that I actually learned maybe two years ago from Niamh Parsons's appearance on your podcast, "Bonnie Woodhall," and Niamh told a great story to go with it as well, about trying over multiple late - night sessions with her fellow musicians to remember the whole thing. I loved that song as well as her story, and I sing that a lot around my house, but - me not sounding much like Niamh when I sing - I don't get a lot of requests around here exactly, and it really tickled me that my kid requested that one. Anyway, please keep up the good work Marc, and if it's not too late to say so, a very happy New Year to you."

    Patrick Rieger sent a picture and asked about photo sizes for the podcast: "Thank you. I can set the width at 1200 pixels. The photos are already at 72dpi.

    Here is a photo of The Craic Show on September 3, 2023, during the opening gate act of the Pittsburgh Renaissance Festival. The Donegal Doggs can be seen seated on the left waiting their turn.

    I'll keep the photos coming. We'll be attending Great Lakes, Pittsburgh, and Ohio again this year. We planned the dates to attend Ohio in 2024 during Pub SIng this last year."

    My name (artistic name) is Morghán and I am the lead vocalist of a fantasy folk music band from Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, and I am, maybe, an Irish by heart (never been there - in this life - , but simply love Ireland) and all the things about Celtic world. ❤️

    I love your Podcast! When I am listening to, it is like I transport myself for a moment to the Celtic world. Thank you for that! 🙏💖

    Well, what am I doing while listening to the Celtic Podcast? College homework! 😁 I am a Digital Design student, and I am doing hand drawing homework.

    Thank you again for this wonderful Podcast!

    Lots of blessings!"

    Jeremiah Dønier emailed from Langly, WA: "Hello Marc,

    I tried signing up for your mailing list but got an error message saying the mailing list is not active.

    My family and I live on the windswept isle of Whidbey upon the Salish Sea. I stumbled across your app in May after canceling my iTunes subscription and we are loving the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast. A few weeks ago, we enjoyed a couple of hours of the music as we pickled some pints of cucumbers (see attached photo).

    My love of Celtic music goes back to my family's roots. My dad's kin are mostly from the Swiss Alps and Scandinavia, but my mom's family came from Scotland and Ireland to settle in the Pacific Northwest in the late 1800s. So, I grew up listening to Celtic folk tunes played by my parents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles.

    Then I began listening to a range of Celtic music as a teenager in the mid - 1990s. Of course, I enjoyed the explosion of modern Celtic music during this time with crossovers into New Age and Rock. Many purists deride this as faux Celtic but it didn't matter to me. I like the flitting of flutes, braggadocio of bagpipes, and harmony of harps. One of my favorite memories from back then, was going to an oversold a Colcannon show in Ellensburg, Washington and I was seated on the stage!

    Since then, I accumulated an eclectic collection of Celtic tunes. During the pandemic I began looking through my older CDs and found "Celtic Legacy A Global Celtic Journey" by the Narada. It features are a number of groups from Ireland, Breton, Wales, and Scotland and the American Celtic diaspora. Then I noticed there a group stands out as bit different and it has become one of my favorites: Milladoiro.

    They come from northwest Spain which I learned is a region rich but often overlooked in Celtic history. Indeed, research shows many cultural and genetic links between Ireland, Galicia, and the Basques.

    Anyway, I wanted to say hello, share a bit about me and my love of Celtic music. Throughout the week the podcast is my way to relax. With over 500 episodes it is going to take me awhile to get through them all. I love how you feature so many different types of Celtic music with differrent themes.

    So, all this leads me to I wonder if you've ever done a show on global Celtic music? Perhaps you could feature some of those groups like Milladoiro that add a bit a different flavor to the Celtic tunes we love.

    Go raibh míle maith agat! (May you have a thousand good things!)"

    Pronunciation: guh rev mee - leh mah agut

    Christopher Patrick of the band FitzBlarney emailed some Christmas photos from Salem, Massachusetts and wrote: "Hello, Mark! Wanted to share! For Christmas this year I FINALLY got my Bluetooth receiver for my car! This means I can now start my day listening to the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast on my daily commute! My commute to work being only 20 to 30 minutes, I get to travel home listening to it too!

    I have just finished listening to your Celtic - Christmas episode, and was very impressed with the tunes - especially the creative arrangements. These gave me so many ideas for future arrangements with my Celtic Music band, FitzBlarney.

    We actually began as an 'Acoustic - Celtic Christmas' trio, (comprised of myself and my two sisters.) Since then, we have taken on my brother and brother - in - law, and also play non - Christmas, Irish/Celtic music.

    In fact, this past December, we were asked to play at the Historic Salem 'House Tour."

    In essence, people with historic houses open them up to the public to walk through and see their Christmas displays. Musicians, ( like ourselves, ) set - up and create some Christmassy background music. This year, we were playing in the chapel of St. Peter's Church, (founded in 1733!)

    We also did our "Acoustic Brunch," at O'Neill's Pub, also in Salem, MA. (I have attached a couple' pictures for you!)

    Thank you again for all you do! My commutes sound great now!"

    It starts in a couple weeks with a new Kickstarter. We're funding new merch for the year. In fact, we're funding 100 Celtic Pins, 100 Celtic CDs, and 100 Celtic Shirts as part of the Make 100/Kickstarter campaign.

    Make sure you're subscribed to our Celtic Music Magazine so you don't miss the launch of the Kickstarter. Or even better… go to http://marcgunn.com/kickstarter. You will be one of the first to be notified about the launch.

    I hope you enjoy the Best Celtic Bands and Tunes of 2023. If you did, it's now time to start work on the Celtic Top 20 of 2024. In every episode, I ask you to vote for all of your favorite songs and tunes in the show. At the end of the year, I compile your votes to create a Best of Episode. This is the first episode you can vote for in 2024. So get those votes in.

    Remember. You do need to be a Patron of the Podcast to vote. You can sign up for as little as $1 per episode and cap how much you want to spend per month… Yes. Even $1. I'll tell you more about our Patreon later in the show.

    Sprained ankle over the holidays.

    Eric G emailed: "Hey Marc! Regarding the proposed whiskey tour, it's one of my bucket list items to go on an Invasion...but teaching makes it difficult. For this proposal, I start back up August 9, 2024. If you end up scheduling earlier let me know, we're definitely into hiking. Actually this is old now but one of the "what are you doing while listening to the Podcast" was running from Wordsworth's Dove Cottage in Grasmere UK up to Easedale Tarn in heavy rain. Even with rain jackets we got wet but it was glorious and the music matched the scene."

    Rich Hoffman replied to the Celtic Music Magazine's Christmas greetings: "Thanks for all the great music Mark. It is a true gift to us. Happy 2024! "

    emilio marco colombo also replied: "Many thanks Marc. And a big hug from Italy! And thank you always for the beautiful music you offer us!"

    Patrick Rieger emailed photos: "Hello Marc, Here are photos from the Celtic Christmas Music show Celtic Pittsburgh hosted at Mullaney's Harp & Fiddle the evening of December 9th.

    The performers were Cahal Dunne; Mike Clancy and Alan Booth of Abbots Cross; Bill McShane of the University of Pittsburgh Nationality Rooms and Intercultural Exchange Program speaking about the Scottish room; Kip Ruefle and Lawrence McCullough of the Kip Ruefle Trio; Jessica Willard on hammered dulcimer, and RichPatrick, with (l to r) Sue Borowski, Rich Lange, and Jim Borowski.

    The pub was packed that night, and everyone had a great time. A big thanks to the staff of the Harp for handling such a crowd so well."

    Bill Mandeville commented on Patreon: "Great Christmas podcast! A family member commented that the songs were so fresh and original. Not the supermarket fare you hear to ad nauseam this time of year. Here is wishing you and your lovely family a merry Christmas."

    He wrote a separate post regarding the Celtic Top 20 episode: "I jotted down a couple songs to vote for; but only to find out the songs were from 2012 podcast and not on the list. That's when I got this epiphany. Why don't you reopen the best of (prior year). You can call it - Best if 2012: For Real This Time.

    Gwênlyn Glusman emailed a photo: "Hi Marc, I think I first enjoyed the Irish & Celtic Music podcast in late 2005, but I wasn't much into podcasts then and lost track of it... Then on December 26th, 2022 (exactly one year ago) I did some google images search and a logo caught my eye among the results... and I rediscovered your podcast! Been avidly listening since then, and became a patron in January 2023.

    I typically listen to the podcast while walking in the neighborhood or while commuting (which I do by bus). It always lifts my mood! Also very much enjoying the Celtic Christmas podcast!

    Here's a photo from Dervish at the Triple Door in Seattle, November 7th. I heard from you they were touring, and very much enjoyed the show, with friends!"

    Annelise Laughlin emailed: "Hi Marc, I'm enjoying some quiet time and listening to your Celtic Christmas 2023 episode while brainstorming my New Year's resolution!

    Thanks so much for continuing to produce your podcast. I love listening whenever the mood strikes me, and it always brings me joy.

    Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!"

    Katherine McMillan sent some pictures: "Hi Marc! My name is Kat, I'm an Aussie and I was travelling through Peru for the month of July. You mentioned in a recent episode to send in travel pictures, so here are a few happy snaps from my recent wanderings.

    I've played the flute for many years, with my favourite type of music to play being anything Celtic. However, while in the city of Cusco, I met a Peruvian flute maker and fell in love with the sound of the low Andean meditation flute. I'm already thinking of creative ways I can blend the Andean flute with a Celtic sound. I'd be open to any suggestions! I've attached a photo of me playing the Andean flute at Laguna Churup, it was quite a hike to get there but well worth the view.

    Aside from that, I get very badly motion sick on buses and unfortunately this is the main mode of transport to get around Peru. I found that zoning out by listening to the Irish and Celtic Music Podcast was incredibly helpful on long haul bus rides, so thank you for helping me to prevent motion sickness while travelling!

    I can't wait to hear where your next Celtic Invasion takes you.

    Happy travels,"

    Patrick Rieger emailed photos: "Hello Marc, My family and I went to three faires this year, and I wanted to share some photos of the musicians.

    First up are photos from the Great Lakes Medieval Faire. Then the Pittsburgh Renaissance Festival. And finally, the Ohio Renaissance festival. I'll need to spread them out over two or three emails because of attachment size limits."
