WELCOME CELTOPHILE TO CELTIC MUSIC

* Helping you celebrate Celtic culture through music. I am Marc Gunn. I’m a musician and podcaster out of Atlanta, Georgia. This Podcast is here to build our diverse Celtic community and help the incredible artists who so generously share their music with you. If you hear music you love, please email artists to let them know you heard them on the Irish and Celtic Music Podcast.

You can find a link to all of the artists in the shownotes, along with show times, when you visit our website at celticmusicpodcast.com.

I have a new eBook that is being published on Kindle in a couple weeks. It’s called Celtic Musicians Guide to Digital Music eBook. It goes on sale for just 99 cents on Monday, April 24. So if you’re a Celtic musician or you just want to help it be a hit, please pre - order a copy. There’s a link in the shownotes.

Now that said, listeners to the podcast can get the eBook for FREE. Just send an email to gift@bestcelticmusic.

In fact, maybe you should start with the free copy, then you can post a review on Amazon.

That said, I did not publish this eBook to make money. That’s why it’s just 99 cents. My goal is to help my fellow Celtic musicians adjust to the digital music age. I think it servers that purpose very well.

So thank you in advance for your support!

THANK YOU PATRONS OF THE PODCAST!

Because of Your kind and generous support, this show comes out at least four times a month. Your generosity funds the creation, promotion and production of the show. It allows us to attract new listeners and to help our community grow.

A special thanks to our Celtic Legends: Nancy Barnett and Bill Mandeville. Both are long time Celtic Legends. But they made a change to the new Celtic Legend Level.

You see, to be added to the Celtic Legend roll call, you need to select the Celtic Legend level of $25 per episode. You can always cap it at $25 or you can do more.

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.

In 2023, we’re going on a Celtic Invasion of County Mayo in Ireland. We’re gonna explore the area and get to know Grace O’Malley, the Pirate Queen. Learn more about the invasion at http://celticinvasion.com/
