This is the Official Celtic FC Podcast and on this episode, Celtic TV's Gerry McCulloch is joined by 'It Bites' frontman, Francis Dunnery. 

From scaling the heights of the music industry in the 80s with his band 'It Bites' and touring the world with Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant, to his more recent passions for Jungian psychology and astrology, Francis Dunnery has led a fascinating life that has taken him from a small village in Cumbria via Los Angeles and New York to his current family life in Connecticut, USA. The one constant through all of this, however, is his love for Celtic.

In this latest episode of the Official Celtic FC Podcast, Francis talks Gerry about his love for Celtic and how it evokes childhood memories of his late Scottish father and being brought up during the time of the Lisbon Lions.

Francis also performs an exclusive acoustic version of his song 'Through My Father's Eyes' which pays homage to those people who pass the Celtic traditions down through each generation.

This is the Official Celtic FC Podcast and on this episode Matt Campbell is joined by prominent Celtic author, Matt Corr, as he previews his upcoming book 'Celtic in the Thirties'.

The 1930's was a fascinating decade in the history of Celtic Football Club, with the highs of league titles, cup wins and a US tour contrasted with the lows of John Thomson's tragic death and the sad passing of Peter Scarff.

As well as being a rollercoaster 10 years for the Celts, the '30s was also a period in the club's history which saw the legendary Jimmy McGrory cement his place as the greatest goalscorer ever to pull on the famous green and white hoops.

Matt Corr's brilliant exploration of this fascinating era, which is split over two beautifully written volumes, takes readers on a journey through the 1930's for the Hoops and is sure to throw up some incredible facts and anecdotes throughout.

Anthony ‘The Andytown Apache’ Cacace, hailing from Andersonstown in Belfast, won the IBO super-featherweight title against Michael Magnesi in 2022 before adding a second world title to his name by defeating Joe Cordina to claim the IBF super-featherweight crown.

Cacace made boxing history by becoming the first Irish super-featherweight world champion and he opens up about that achievement and what it means to have created a legacy by fulfilling his ultimate ambition. 

He also looks back on his career as a whole, the setbacks he has suffered and the gruelling training camps that moulded him in to the champion he has become.

As well as his incredible boxing career, as a lifelong Celtic supporter, the Apache also speaks about his personal pride at being invited to Celtic Park for the Celts’ match against Aberdeen.
