WELCOME TO CELTIC MUSIC
* Helping you celebrate Celtic culture through music. My name is Marc Gunn. I am a Celtic musician and podcaster. This show is dedicated to the indie Celtic musicians. Please support these artists. Share the show with your friends. Find more episodes at celticmusicpodcast.com. You can also support this podcast on Patreon.

We finally hit a huge milestone on Patreon last month. The show now pulls in about $700 per episode. The money goes pays for a lot of things including my time in producing the show. But the big reason I wanted to hit that goal was because it allows us to reach more Celtic music fans. Yes. I do spend money to advertise the show on Facebook. We get a lot of new listeners because your generosity helps pay for that. That’s one of the big reasons I was so happy to hit this milestone.

Because we hit it, I told patrons that I would give them a two-hour instrumental Celtic music special. That’s what we are doing today. Of course, it actually wasn’t ONE two-hour special. I gave you another one a couple weeks ago. So your generosity funded FOUR bonus hours of Celtic music. So let me start by saying thanks.

And I’ll stop there too. Because this episode will be less talk and more music. So let’s get started.

BREAK

If you want to find more about the artists you just heard, please make sure you go to the shownotes at CelticMusicPodcast.com. I list the time that each artist and song is played so that you can easily find out who you’re listening to. I also share album names URLs of the artists so you can support them and by buying their music.

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/

Jason Glore emailed a photo: "Happy belated St. Patrick's Day Mark! Love your show!

I celebrated St. Patrick's day by creating and posting the attached image on my astro-photography flikr page (and my Instagram).

Most of the image is made from a color-edited photo I took of the moon, centered on the "dog wearing sunglasses" face.

Keep up the good work, helping people connect with Celtic culture!"

Rachel Quill emailed a couple photos: "Dear Marc,

Greetings from Georgia! just wanted to thank you for all you do! Your podcasts help encourage me to go on walks and stay in shape. I took the first pic while I was listening. The second picture is of a friend and I celebrating St.Patrick's a few days early."
