We all have our favorite traditional Irish songs. I was curious what the most-popular ones were this year. I found a nice list on the web. I compiled my own list of Famous Irish Songs using music from bands featured in the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast. What songs are missing from this short list? Post in the comments. Then subscribe to the podcast and mailing list at http://pubsong.net/

Enjoy music from Screeched Inn, The High Kings, Skully, The Gothard Sisters, Kilted Kings, Sligo Rags, Dun Aengus.

THANKS YOU PATRONS!

I want to send out a very special thanks to my generous patrons in the Gunn Runners Club on Patreon. These awesome people kindly support my music and allow me to keep this show running for over 12 years.

The music business has changed. Streaming music is king. Musicians can no longer rely on CD sales to make a living. For that reason, I turned to Patreon to support my music.

Here's how it works. You pledge a buck a or more every month. Your generosity allows me to keep creating. You get monthly music in the Pub Songs Podcast, fun adventures in Celfather Music & Travel, Behinds the Scenes look at the life of a musician, and Stories from the Road. Plus, every month, I'll send you a free song, video, or concert recording.

Please show your support for what you love. Join the Gunn Runners Club today!

I want to thank my newest Gunn Runners: Brian Morin, James Lawlor, Theodore Dykstra, Elizabeth Burkholder, Tarren Enn, Sarah Donner. A very special thanks to Laura May Sorkin, Jeremy Hendon, Jim Cope, Tom Smith, Scott & Anita Gorrell, Jason Denen, Eric Ray who increased their pledges.

PUB TALK

If you want to watch live Pub Songs, then join me on Coffee with The Celtfather, every Tuesday in January at 9 AM. I'll play a few songs for you on my Facebook Live page. You can have fun and sing-along with me. I plan to do weekly shows on Facebook Live. Subscribe to my mailing list and check my website for February details.

I have made my own recordings of every song in this show, plus lots more. Almost all of them can be found in my new Celtic Music 6-Pack. It's a CD and digital album collection with six Celtic albums. Find both the physical CDs and the digital copy in my Bandcamp Store. You can buy it all at one low price. Or stream the albums on Spotify.

Please Follow me on Spotify!

Spotify is my new project for 2018. I am creating a bunch of fun playlists highlighting my music and as well as that of bands I enjoy. Right now, I have several awesome playlists including:

• Irish Drinking Songs for Cat Lovers
• Firefly Drinking Songs
• Star Wars Drinking Songs

More are coming. If you have ideas for playlists, drop me a line. Or create your own, add my music and send me a link so I can follow it and share.

Should I start a Patreon page for Brobdingnagian Bards?
