EATING HUMBLE PIE FOR ST PATRICK'S DAY First let me start with an apology. Last episode, I shared a pet peeve. I said Facebook was my least favorite place to get comments. That's true. But according to my website, I was wrong. There was some old info that said EXACTLY that. Ugh. I screwed up. IF YOU WANT TO ENJOY SOME HUMBLE PIE WITH ME… I have two St Patrick's Day celebrations happening in the Atlanta area this weekend. On Saturday, March 14, I'm at Ironshield Brewing in Lawrenceville, GA. On Sunday, March 15, I'm at Three Taverns Brewery in Decatur, GA. You can come eat some humble pie with me… or at least toast a pint of beer with me. I'd love to meet you. DO YOU NEED A GUEST ON YOUR PODCAST? I'd love to share my love of Celtic culture through music with your podcast. Or we can talk about science fiction, fantasy, podcasting, or even cats. I'd love to chat with you. If you know a podcaster who might be interested, drop me a line. ST PATRICK'S DAY ON PUB SONGS & STORIES The next Pub Songs & Stories podcast is a packed extra long episode for St Patrick's Day. Jon Pilatzke shares some stories about the late Paddy Maloney of The Chieftains. The Muckers wrote a song on a Flogging Molly cruise. Guilty pleasures come in many shapes. What's mine? I'll give you a hint. It comes in plaid. Subscribe to Pub Songs & Stories . VOTE IN THE CELTIC TOP 20 FOR 2022 This is our way of finding the best songs and artists each year.

The newest band added to the playlist: Marc Gunn, Old Blind Dogs, Kathy Barwick, Marys Lane, The Carroll Sisters, The Rogues Listen on Spotify and Amazon Music . BUY SELCOUTH BY MARC GUNN My latest CD features Sci F'Irish music. That means it is original songs fusing pop culture themes with Irish drinking songs. There are some traditional music on the album. But mostly, it features songwriting by Marc Gunn with guests including: Screeched Inn, The Muckers, Jamie Haeuser, Sam Gillogly, Nathan Deese, and Mikey Mason. Selcouth means, "when everything is strange and different, yet you find it marvelous anyway." The album is not completely Celtic and it's not just science fiction and fantasy. It's a fusion of the two. It's heartfelt and a lot of fun. It's now on sale in my Bandcamp store. Check out Selcouth now . THANK YOU PATRONS OF THE PODCAST!

Language, folklore, jewellery, movies - - a list without ending! Your podcast channel just popped up when I typed 'Celtic' to find anything I might be interested in on GooglePodcasts. I am so happy to discover this channel which brings so many serendipities! I was reading books about Celtic myths while listening to the podcasts. The modern Irish music and the traditional stories - - what a combination! Thank you so much for presenting the brilliant channel!" David Gowrylu emailed: "Hi Marc, I'm an avid listener of your Irish/Celtic music podcast as Celtic has always been a go - to for me in my lifetime. I was actually in a band, many moons ago, that put out a demo cd, and I think it might actually be something that would fit your podcast. Let me know how I can send the files to you and you can enjoy them and feel free to put them on the podcast. Always looking for ways to make people smile and this band did just that. Slainte"
