Promote Celtic culture through music at http://celticmusicpodcast.com/. WELCOME IRISH & CELTIC MUSIC MINI PODCAST I’m Marc Gunn, and I launched a Kickstarter for the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast on Thursday. I need your help to make this a smashing success. This is the second 6 - Pack Mini episode you’re getting as we promote the campaign which ends on August 11. You can find a link to all of the artists in the shownotes, along with show times, when you visit our website. And if you want to make a Song Dedication for a very special Dedication episode in December, you can do that as part of the campaign. Go to celticmusic.org/celticrock to make a pledge. CLOSING I hope you enjoyed the show. In the last episode, I mentioned the Album Pins. Well, there will also be physical CDs funded by this campaign. I’m only printing 100 copies. The album hasn’t been available in probably 10 - 12 years. So this is your chance to own the limited - edition album. And if you’re concerned about Climate Change, like I am, then I’d like to recommend that you also get a Celtic Earth Tote Bag as well. I’m gonna bet that single - use plastic bags will no longer be allowed at grocery stores in the next 10 years. California is already doing that as are many countries around the world. It’s great for the environment. So you can get ahead of the curve and do something great for our planet. There are lots of other rewards to check out. Go to celticmusic.org/celticrock to make a pledge. THANK YOU PATRONS OF THE PODCAST! Because of Your kind and generous support, this show comes out at least four times a month.

Scot sent a photo: "Shades of Green on their 6th and final performance of the St. Patrick’s Day weekend. This was at Jerzee’s in Glenside to a packed house. Our absolute favorite time of year. My favorite moment was right after we finished….a gent from Ireland came up to me, thanked me/us for bringing such joy all around and working so hard….and he wanted to give a little back. He then took my hand and sang a Gaelic song to me. It was moving. Nothing like the Irish spirit to lift you up.  Thanks for keeping the spirit alive brother."

I have been in love with the artists you played back then. Poitin, Vicki Swan and Johnnyt Dyer, Wicked Tinkers, Jed Marum, MacTalla Mor, and who could possibly forget Serious Kitchen!  Thanks for everything!!"

Thank you," Brenda Richardson emailed some photos: "I enjoy the podcast immensely, and I finally have some photos to send from a 5K  St Patrick’s Day event on March 16, 2024. This was a group of friends and family brought together by an exercise class leader at the YMCA in Colorado Springs. We heard snippets of Celtic Music along our route and saw a group of dancers in the parade."   Brian McReynolds emailed a St Patrick's Day picture of bagpipers.

ABOUT THE NEW ADS IN THE PUBLIC FEED If you’ve been listening to the show over the last couple of weeks, you will have noticed something new to the show. Ads placed at the beginning and ending of each episode. The show has been published regularly for almost 19 years with very few ads, outside of those for my Celtic Invasion Vacations and Patreon. I’ll be honest. I’m not a huge fan of advertising…or corporations in general. And I’m still deciding whether I’m gonna continue having ads in the show. The fact is that this podcast costs a decent amount to produce as I’ll tell you about later. We’ve built something incredible here. We have a large number of Patrons of the Podcast who support this show each and every week. It’s mind - blowing the amount of support this show gets. But it doesn’t cover all of my expenses. And there’s so much more I’d like to do to reach more Celtic music fans, which requires money. This would be one way to help us grow our podcast. So if you don’t like those ads, please become a Patron of the Podcast, because they are not included in any of the Patreon shows. THANK YOU PATRONS OF THE PODCAST! You are amazing. It is because of your generosity that you get to hear so much great Celtic music each and every week. Your kindness pays for our engineer, graphic designer, Celtic Music Magazine editor, promotion of the podcast, and allows me to buy the music I play here. It also pays for my time creating the show each and every week. As a patron, you get music - only episodes before regular listeners, vote in the Celtic Top 20, stand - alone stories, and you get a private feed to listen to the show. You get it all, without those ads at the beginning and end of the regular episodes. All that for as little as $1 per episode.

Sherron Sloan emailed a photo from St Augustine Celtic Festival: "Marc, you've  got to check out the St. Augustine Celtic festival sometime. That's where I first heard the Gothard sisters! It is such a fun weekend."  Ryan Weyls emailed some photos: "Hi Marc, I've attached photos from a pair of shows I went to this weekend: Dàimh at the Town Crier in Beacon, NY and Derek Warfield and the Young Wolfe Tones at the Rambling House in the Bronx. The lighting at Rambling House was a bit harsh and didn't agree with my phone, so I've only included two photos. Both bands sounded excellent. I might be checking out the other version of the Wolfe Tones (the one led by Derek's brother) later this week and will send photos if I make it. Thanks for your wonderful podcast.   Tim Hughes emailed photos from the Madison WI Shamrock Shuffle: "Had to listen to I&CMP; during the run! Before and after pictures."
