Can you please send me a link to where I can donate to support your efforts? Slàinte mhath" Support the podcast . Jonathan Roussos emailed: "Marc, I have been a listener for many years and finally became a patron. I have spent many hours listening to the podcast, largely while driving long distances. I was first introduced to Irish music many many years ago with the Irish Rovers and the Chieftains. I have been a morris dancer (not quite Celtic) for many years and eventually started doing Irish Set and Ceili dancing and my daughter competed Irish Dancing when she was young now. Going through a serious case of withdrawal from live Irish performance and dance. Thanks for helping to keep me sane."
