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.

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/

Dawn Sayne Wilke posted on Facebook: "Excellent podcast, as always" for show #554.
I asked a question about song requests on Facebook. The band Beltaine replied: "We love song requests because it is the songs that people love and have a special place in their hearts if we know it, we will play it....if not we will fake it to do our best for our fans that we want to make them happy!
Finally I asked a question on Facebook: What does Celtic culture make you think of?
Wolf Lüerßen responded: "Whisky and great music 🎶 Languages that sound magical even though I don't understand them, and brilliant literature. Did I say Whisky..."
Andrei Dashko replied: "Music that you fall in love with right away. Dance with tied hands. Beautiful songs with female voices. Redheads."
