Editor's NoteWelcome to 2014 and another awesome year celebrating our joint love of Celtic music. I started the Celtic Music Magazine over thirteen years ago as way to introduce Celtic music lovers to some of the incredible Celtic musicians I found online. I used the slogan "changing the way you hear Celtic music" as our trumpet and mission statement. The magazine evolved from an MP3.com newsletter into a website of free Celtic MP3s, then into a CD review website, and finally into a podcast. Now I'm looking into using video as an additional way to share all of the great Celtic music I am introduced to each week. Sharing Celtic music through new media was the old goal. I think we did that quite successfully, winning two Podcast Awards, earning thousands of subscribers, and millions of downloads of my podcasts. I started posting the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast on YouTube several months ago. Many of those videos are also getting tens of thousands of views. I'm not sure where new media is going. I also feel that I've grown beyond just "changing the way you HEAR Celtic music." It's now about changing your world through Celtic music. Over the past thirteen years, I've had thousands of emails from Celtic music lovers telling me how my magazine and podcast have helped to change their world. A decade ago, the only way you could hear new Celtic music was if you were lucky enough to have Fiona Ritchie's Thistle & Shamrock radio program on your local NPR station. I never was so lucky. I never had an opportunity to explore the world of Celtic music outside of what I could see live at local Celtic festivals, Renaissance festivals, and occasional pubs. You may be in the same position. Well, I am happy to offer a free solution. I offer you a chance to not only hear Celtic music, but to change your world through the music in this magazine, in our podcast, and hopefully, in a new Celtic TV show on YouTube. You are an incredible person. Thank you for being on this journey with me. Thank you for allowing me to change your world with Celtic music. Slainte!
New Celtic PodcastsI know. I know. You're wondering, "Where on earth is show #150? I want more Celtic music!" Right now, I'm in the process of moving my websites to a new server. I hope to finish it up by this weekend. Then I will be back with a brand-new show! So stay subscribed! - Irish & Celtic Music Podcastn #149: Celtic Christmas Miracle - Pub Songs Podcast #128: Christmas Pub Songs - Pub Songs Podcast #127: A Semi-Celtic Christmas
Will You Help Sponsor a New Video Show?I have an idea for a new Celtic video show. I need your help to make it happen. I love the way the format of the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast. It's designed to give you maximum music listening without too much vocal interruption. I've had a LOT of great feedback about that over the years. The downside is that I don't talk too much about the bands on the show. Instead, you have to visit their website and seek them out on your own. Don't get me wrong that's awesome. But I want to do more. I want to introduce you better to the bands in each show. But to do that, I need your financial support. My goal is to produce a four-part pilot series called Irish Celtic News. In each show, I will give you a quick run down about each of the bands in the latest episode of the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast. I'll also share some "what's new" news about the bands. The show will "air" on my YouTube Channel about a week or so after the podcast is released. I don't expect it to be too long, but I want to make it fun, entertaining, and of course educational. And if I can pull together a video team, I might add in some additional clips from festivals or interviews that I might be able to pull together. This is a BIG project. So I'm gonna need help. But to make this happen, first and foremost, I need to raise money to pay for some of the production. Right now, I'm holding a crowdfunding campaign on my website for my new CD, How America Saved Irish Music. As part of that campaign, I'm raising money to pay for this project as well. Yes, it's a dual fundraising campaign. But if you actually sponsor the 4-part series (one of the options), then that money will go straight to production costs for the video series. You can sponsor the show and/or support my new album right here: http://celticmusic.org/2014/pre-order-america/ You will find the donation and sponsor info at the end of the page. Though if you'd like to support my new album, your purchase of it too will all go towards the overall fundraising goal. You can hear the first single from the album "A Stor Mo Chroi" right here: "A Stor Mo Chroi" by Marc Gunn & Jamie Haeuser Thank you for all your generous support!

Editor's Note
A couple weeks back, I was going through past submissions to the podcast. I realized I missed a LOT of indie Celtic bands who submitted music last year. Now I'm trying to do some major catch up. That's good news for you because it means I just released show #151: A Brilliant Collection of Celtic Music. I also made a couple cool new changes to the podcast shownotes this year. In the past, I've had people suggest I start using the Apple podcast format so you can skip tracks. Or they tried to find out who an artist was and they couldn't. I don't have the ability to make Apple audio files and I also find it limiting for my non-Apple users. However, helping you find who's who, I can make that easier. Starting with show #151, I added the time that each song begins. Now you can see at 8:22 into the show, Burning Bridget Cleary's song begins to play. I would love to do that with all of the other podcasts in the past, but alas, that will take a LOT of time to do... UNLESS we crowdsource it. Next time you listen to one of my past shows, make notes as to what time each songs begins. You can email me that info or post it directly in the shownotes. I'll get it added. Perhaps together, we can make this podcast better than ever in 2014! Slainte! PS. Remember to Vote! The poll for the Best Irish & Celtic Music of 2013 is still open. Cast you vote as soon as possible. Then I will compile a best of episode in March. You can vote at http://celticmusicpodcast.com/vote/ PPS. My newest CD How America Saved Irish Music officially goes on sale in less than two weeks. I'm asking fans and anyone who wants to help me out. Buy the album on Amazon on February 19th.

Subscribe to the Celtic Music Magazine here!
Editor's NoteSomething shocking happened to me last week. There was an error in transferring data from my old Song Henge web host to the new one. The entire site and all of the membership data was lost. Yesterday, CelticMusicPodcast.com also crashed and is still not yet back up. I'm still a little shaken by these events. "That which does not kill us makes us stronger", Friedrich Nietzsche said. I'm still trying to grow from these problems. It's not easy. However, thanks to my friend Jan, I now have all of the membership data in a compiled in a spreadsheet. My friend Amber is helping me get the website back online. It's slow-going, but at least it's going. With any luck, I will email you next week to announce the all-new Song Henge website. In the meantime, I compiled shownotes for the next Irish & Celtic Music Podcast. I was playing catchup with submissions to the podcast last year, when I realized I had a lot of Celtic rock submissions that hadn't been played. I decided to highlight these bands by doing an exclusive podcast special on Celtic rock. I should have that show up in the next couple o'days, but if the website is still down, check out facebook. I will have a link to the MP3 directly. If you CAN access the website, I want to ask you one more time to cast your vote for the Best Irish & Celtic Music of 2013. You can vote for your favorite song in each episode of the podcast last year. Just head on over to http://celticmusicpodcast.com/vote/ and vote! Thank you SO much for all your patience and support of the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast. You are awesome! Slainte! PS. How America Saved Irish Music officially goes on sale tomorrow. Please help me out, buy the album on Amazon on February 19th. PPS. I was nominated in the Celtic Radio Music Awards. You can help me win as well as help other bands featured in the podcast. Cast your vote here. (You will need to join CelticRadio.net)

Editor's NoteI have good news at last. But first, I am happy to announce that show #152 of the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast is now online. This week, you're gonna experience a Celtic Rock Invasion! I suppose this is also a good to time mention that if you like Celtic Rock music, we have a compilation CD called The Secret World of Celtic Rock. It, um, rocks! ;-) DONATIONS REPORT NOW ONLINE If you're not familiar with my compilations, a portion of the sale of each compilation benefits Celtic non-profits. I finally posted my Donation Report for 2012 and 2013. You can see all of the donations I made over the last two years and who the recipients were. Donations are a little down during the last two years from 2011. That's because some of my super-popular albums on iTunes were replaced by other albums. It bums me out. But that's what marketing is all about. If each of you bought Victims of Irish Music or Irish Celtic Music today, the albums would rock to the top of the charts and we could donate even more to those Celtic non-profits. Nevertheless, the albums are still selling extremely well. I'm donating over $2000 a year thanks to your generous purchases of these compilations. Thank you! WEBSITE TROUBLES SLOWLY BEING RESOLVED When last I wrote, I lamented my website troubles. I was trying to migrate my sites to a new web host... during one of the busiest seasons for a Celtic music publisher (pre-St Patrick's Day). That wasn't too bright! Well, I decided to postpone this whole moving web host thing, for now at least. Whatever the case, I'm getting stuff back in order. You can now sign up to the all-new Song Henge, which is now merged with the Celtic Music CD Store. NEW SPONSOR FOR THE IRISH & CELTIC MUSIC PODCAST The best news of all right now is the sponsorship of the Irish Tourism Group. They are hosting a Trad Music Tour of Ireland this summer. I can't tell you how many people emailed me asking if I was doing a Celtic Invasion of Ireland this summer. Nope. We are going to Wales. So this sponsorship was perfect. The Irish Tourism Group has something extra special planned, something, I would LOVE to be a part of. They're gonna take you to recitals, sessions, demonstrations of traditional Irish music and dance. This sounds really brilliant. Plus, they're hitting all the cool sites that I love in Ireland, like the Dingle Peninsula, The Cliffs of Moher and Gougane Barra. Ah Gougane Barra! That was one of my favorite spots from my first trip. I remember beautiful hills, the cool air, the serenity that was only marred by the sound of sheep on the hills. It was spectacular. My friend Jamie and I still talk about how wonderful it was. Anyway, if you want to take a trip to Ireland this summer, visit their website or call 1-877-298-7205 . Make sure you tell them that you found out about it through the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast. MY NEWEST ALBUM TOPS THE CHARTS ON AMAZON The last bit of news I want to share is about the official release of How America Saved Irish Music. All I can say is WOW! Thank you for your support of the album and my Top the Charts event. The album peaked at #1 on Amazon for British & Celtic Folk albums, #1 for Traditional Folk, and #1 for Miscellaneous. It hit #5 of all Folk albums and it climbed to #236 of ALL ALBUMS on Amazon. To me, that is BRILLIANT! So again, thank you for your support of my album. And thank you to for generous support of the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast. YOU make it happen, and I love you for it! Slainte! PS. Tomorrow is the last day you can vote for the best songs in the podcast last year. Next week, I will compile my Best Irish & Celtic Music of 2013 episode. Vote now.

Announcing the Best Irish & Celtic Music of 2013The countdown is full on. There's just ten more days until St. Patrick's Day. I have some big plans for St. Patrick's Week. It all starts next Monday. In the meantime, I finally finished recording the latest episode of the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast. It is th Best Irish & Celtic Music of 2013. This whole year, I asked you to vote for your favorite songs in each show from last year. I compiled the results into an hour and half top 20 special highlighting your votes. Thank you for taking the time to make this great show.
DAILY CONCERTS FOR ST. PATRICK'S WEEKStarting on Monday, March 10th, I'm holding daily concerts via Google Hangouts at 9am from Monday through Friday. Then I have my St. Patrick's Day shows at Beef O'Brady's on Friday evening and Five Points St. Patrick's Day Parade on Saturday afternoon here in Birmingham, Alabama. A few days ago, I came up with the idea of doing a daily concert for the week before St. Patrick's Day. Then an idea struck me. Wouldn't it be amazing if we could organize a St Patrick's Week Internet Celtic Festival?! Imagine your favorite Celtic musicians playing for you live online, some day next week. Wouldn't that be awesome!? I would love to see that happen. Alas, I don't have the time to organize such an event this year... Do you? If so, I would love to help you make it happen. We can use the Celtic Music Magazine as a place to post performance schedules all week long. Will you help? Either way, I hope you will join me on my YouTube page to watch my St. Patrick's Week performances from Monday through Friday at 9am.
17 CELTIC MUSIC DOWNLOADS FOR ST. PATRICK'S DAYI have two more episodes of the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast coming out next week.

Celtic Music Spotlight, Super Fast New WebsiteCELTIC MUSIC MAGAZINE
Celtic Music SpotlightMy new media empire is growing. Thanks to St. Patrick's Day, I finally broke through the video barrier. I wanted to record videos four years ago, but the technology was just too expensive and difficult to use. Now at last, I'm making videos with Google Hangouts and with my new video show--Celtic Music Spotlight. I love that I can put the spotlight on indie Celtic bands. Earlier today, I was listening to Fiona Ritche's Thistlepod. That's her podcast that works in conjunction with her famous radio show Thistle & Shamrock. I haven't bothered with the podcast because all she did was post clips of songs from the actual show. With her long-running show and reputation, she could easily have the biggest podcast online. I guess I should be thankful, huh? Anyway, she posted some interviews on her podcast that caught my eye. One was with Solas. I think it too was a snippet, but it made me realize that I now have the technology to do interviews. This gives me another chance to promote independent Celtic bands who don't have a record label like Solas has to promote their music. Instead, we do it the indie DIY way. I'm brainstorming what form these interviews will take. In the meantime, stay subscribed for details to come. If you missed show #155, the Great St. Patrick's Day Music Extravaganza, then give it a listen. A new show will be online soon.
PODCAST MOVED TO NEW, FASTER-THAN-EVER SERVER!I spent this whole year talking about moving the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast to a new server. I just now figured out WHY I needed one. It wasn't just the spammers who were using up all my web resources and forcing my web host to temporarily shut off my website. It turns out the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast had grown too big for the shared hosting it was on. Okay, I sort of realized it earlier. I just didn't want to accept it. For good reason too. You see, the price of a good dedicated server is about ten times that of a shared server. But it was necessary. Last week, I successfully migrated the website (and a few others of mine) to a new, fast server. It's now running at mock 11. A big thanks to my awesome web host, Lunarpages, who made the transition so perfectly smooth. The downside of this migration is the price. As I said, it costs ten times as much as a basic server. Now, the show costs me about $650 per month (see the expenses) to run. So let me send a HUGE THANKS to all of my Song Hengers. Your membership to the fan club makes an extra BIG difference. I have a family. So even $200 a month is a lot for me. But $650?! Wow! If you love the podcast, there's no better day to subscribe. Because you will get not only all the great free content you've enjoyed for nearly ten years, but you will also get an Irish & Celtic Music Podcast coffee mug. I guess you could say the podcast now offers two great ways to wake up in the morning! ;)

Thunderstorm Reels and JigsThe Home of Indie Celtic Music Online
Thunderstorms Reels and JigsThere were thunderstorms rolling through North Alabama as I recorded the latest episode of the podcast--#157: Fizzy Pop Celtic Reels. It seems funny to me how people get worried when the storms come in. I know they worry about tornados. Birmingham has good reason. My neighborhood suffered a lot of damage from one such tornado just days before we moved in. And as a father, I think twice about safety. Nevertheless, the storms just make me excited and happy. I could almost hear a fizzy pop reel rockin' the kitchen as storms crashed down last night? Can you picture it? I think the world needs an album of thunderstorm reels and jigs. That'd be awesome! Speaking of reels and jigs, I just got a small cache of CDs from Poitin, the award-winning Celtic group from the Czech Republic. You can hear one of their tunes on episode #156: Open the Gates of Celtic Music of the podcast. I worked out a special deal with the band. Join Song Henge in May and you will get a copy of Poitin's newest CD, Wish, as a free gift...while supplies last. Yes. This offer is only good for the first 10 people to join. So sign up today to get your copy of this awesome CD. If you were excited to see my first video show, the Celtic Music Spotlight, I hope you will be patient with me. I am still planning episodes, but time has been against me recently. With any luck, I will publish a new episode next week. INTRODUCING THE CELTIC GEEK Meanwhile, my new solo podcast, The Celtic Geek, is a tremendous success. This podcast is the town crier for both kinds of entertainment--Celtic AND Geek. This is my first venture into the world of non-music-centric podcasts. Every Monday, I offer updates about what's going on with my Celtic music empire. Then I talk about all things Celtic and/or Geek. And by "geek", I mean science fiction or fantasy. Later in the week, I publish a second show which covers thoughts on various topics. The response is overwhelming. I'm never shy of content. I have a TON of awesome things to promote, and I LOVE promoting things that I LOVE! If you like Celtic music and science fiction, then you might be a Celtic Geek. Check out the show.
DID YOU CHECK OUT THE TRAD MUSIC TOURS OF IRELAND With the release of show #156, the sponsorship of Irish Tourism Groups' Trad Music Tours of Ireland came to an end. I was very excited about that sponsorship. I feel like a vacation tour business is the perfect sponsor for the podcast. But is it worth it for them? Does it interest you? I would love your thoughts and feedback. Did you check out their website and look over their vacation package? If so, what did you think? If not, why not? Did the idea of the tour not interest you? What kind of vacation tour of Ireland does interest you? If you want to check it out one last time, then visit http://www.irishtourism.com/celticmusicpodcast And of course if you sign up, make sure you mention the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast.
Once again, I want to thank you. The podcast and magazine would be nothing without your smiling face listening and reading them. You are the reason why I want to change your world with Celtic music. I hope I may inspire you with Celtic joy Slainte! PS. Would you like to inspire Celts and help Celtic bands? Join our team of writers. We'd love to have your articles and reviews on the website.

Celtic BrunchCELTIC MUSIC MAGAZINE Greetings With just two days left until I kick off my Celtic Invasion of Wales, I knew I had to finish an episode of the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast. You can now join me for a Celtic Music for Brunch. Mother Egan's Irish Pub in Austin used to have a Celtic Brunch. The Tea Merchants played there every week for at least a year. It was a great way to get your toes tapping after church on Sunday. I still miss those events every time I turn on one of their albums. This show doesn't feature The Tea Merchants, however, members of the group do show up on the track by Jonathan Milton, another Austin Celtic musician. This show will get your toes tapping. So stay tuned for more great Celtic music. If I can get it done in time, I plan to have a show that will be released on June 1st, the day I return from Wales... Cross your fingers for me.
MARC GUNN'S KICKSTARTER FOR SCI FI DRINKING SONGS Twelve days ago, I released a new Kickstarter for my album Sci Fi Drinking Songs. I already reached my goal. Now I'm hoping to reach my first financial stretch goal. If I reach it, I plan to publish a booklet with more information about the album. You'll find songs inspired by Doctor Who, Firefly, Star Trek, Star Wars, and Lord of the Rings. If you like Celtic music and science fiction or fantasy, then check out the album at http://marcgunn.com/kickstarter.
Thanks so much for all your awesome support of my music. I will talk to you when I get home in June. Slainte! PS. If you want to keep up with how the trip is going, then make sure you check out The Celtic Geek. That's my personal podcast of news and information. I hope to do a daily show while I'm in Wales.

Celtic Music Podcast Goes WeeklyCELTIC MUSIC MAGAZINE Greetings Are you keeping an eye on your Irish & Celtic Music Podcast feed? If so, then you probably noticed something awesome. The Podcast is now a WEEKLY show! I came home from my Celtic Invasion of Wales with a bug to kick the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast into overdrive. I wanted a weekly show, just like my Celtic Geek podcast. So I polled my Song Hengers to figure out when I should release the show. Then I started publishing. There are four new episodes since I last published this newsletter! FOUR! The latest is even themed. I made it fast-paced so you can work out with it--Workout With Celtic Music. Let me know how good it is for your workout. Then check back in EVERY WEDNESDAY for a new edition of the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast

6 New Celtic MP3s for You to DownloadCELTIC MUSIC MAGAZINE Greetings What a great summer it's been! I've had lots of gigs at farmer's markets, house concerts, festivals, and I even played at The Irish House in New Orleans. There, my 3-year old daughter got up on stage and shamelessly sang "Let It Go!" from the movie Frozen. She definitely has my dramatic flare on stage. I'm gonna bet she'll sing all the way to the beach this weekend. The new weekly format of the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast is running beautifully. I have a great working schedule. On Monday, I download new submissions and give them a listen. Then I start compiling the latest show.

A special thanks to those Patrons! This means I am just $4 an episode away from reaching my first Milestone Goal.

4 Celtic KickstartersCELTIC MUSIC MAGAZINE Greetings I had a great summer. I had a lot of gigs. My family and I took vacations at the beach, New Orleans and in North Carolina. Now life returns to "normal." I drove my daughter to daycare yesterday morning. The weather was so pleasant I took a walk in the park. I could almost feel a reprieve from the heat. Ah! I can't wait til fall begins and the fall episodes of the podcast. In the meantime, I am back at work. I continue to release weekly episodes of the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast. Right now, I now have 15 Patrons of the Podcast donating $46 per episode. That means, I am about 2/3 away from having my server costs covered entirely by my patrons. You're also $4 away from getting a two-hour Celtic Rock special. If I hit $50 per episode, I'm gonna compile some of the best Celtic rock songs I know into an incredible special. If you love the podcast and you have a few bucks a month that you can spare, please show your support for the Voice of independent Celtic music online. Become a Patron of the Podcast or even a Song Henger. All you need to do is pledge as little as $1 per episode. Make a pledge right now: http://celticmusicpodcast.com/patreon/

4 CELTIC KICKSTARTERS I was checking out Kickstarter the other day and I found a bunch of cool Celtic projects that need your support. Na Seudan Project - . Na Seudan is an all-girl Gaelic and Traditional folk group from Tarbert, Loch Fyne aged 14-18 years. They are trying to raise just £750 and still have 30 days remaining in their campaign. Imagine how cool it would be if you could help blow their expectations far, far past £750! Bring Irish Dance to the Dominican Republic! - Elyse Transon is working with ASTEP (Artists Striving to End Poverty) and the Mariposa Foundation to bring Irish Dance to Cabarete, DR. With 5 days to go, she only needs about $400. Celtic Art Wall Calendar - This calendar is actually fully funded with just 9 days to go. But there's some beautiful knotwork and imagery. I thought you might enjoy it. Alba's Edge New Album - Alba's Edge is a sibling-led musical powerhouse bridging the gap between Scottish fiddle traditions, Jazz improvisation, Latin rhythms and Funk grooves. Co-led by Neil and Lilly Pearlman, the quartet has been gradually evolving and honing our sound over the past 4 years. Now that Lilly has graduated we are finally ready to take the next step: writing and recording our first full length album! The album is currently fully funded with just 56 hours to go. Click the links and see if you are willing to help these great Celtic Kickstarters!

It's #CelticThursday. Spread the NewsCELTIC MUSIC MAGAZINE Greetings Welcome to the first ever #CelticThursday. I was doing some research on Google Trends last week when I realized that the number of people searching for Celtic music has declined over the last six years. Why is that? Are fewer people searching for "Celtic music" on Google? Has social media usurped the way we find Celtic music? Or has Celtic music and culture declined in popularity over the past few years since the heyday of when Celtic Woman and Celtic Thunder dominated the PBS airwaves? I don't know the answer to these questions, but it made me realize that we can do more to promote Celtic music, dance, art, and culture. Thus was born #CelticThursday. We all have our favorite websites, bands, artists, dancers that we follow. I want to know what yours are. But I don't want you to just email me this info. Instead, go to your favorite social network and share it. Use the hashtag #CelticThursday so other people can find see your favorites too. Not only will you help out your favorite Celtic groups and individuals online, but you'll also help us to grow our Celtic culture. What are you waiting for? Head on over to Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Tumblr, Instagram, YouTube or another social media site and SHARE!

If you'd like to join my team of reviewers, then email me at editor@celticmp3s.com with Celtic Reviewer in the subject line. I'd love to have you join us. OH! If I have not responded to you. PLEASE RE-EMAIL ME. I need your help and these bands want your reviews.
CELTS ON KICKSTARTER Want to help out some of your fellow Celts? Here's a few more cool Celtic Kickstarters. The Cave Sessions - Live Music Recorded In Irish Caves - 3000 years ago an on-the-run musician wrote songs while hiding in caves. His lyrics survived - we're recording them in an Irish cave! McTavish the Haggis - McTavish the Haggis leaves his Scottish glen for a dream, meets new friends and discovers his own special ability to get home again. This is a story worth telling. It was written by published poet and native Scotsman, Norrie Smith who came to the states in 1977 after attending the Duncan Jordanstone College of Art and Design. Now deceased, Norrie wrote McTavish for his sons. Mairi Orr Debut Album - Mairi Orr is a Scottish singer songwriter. Her first full-length album is underway and I need your support to bring it to life! Celtic Playing Cards 2: Full Circle - Explore Celtic history & legend with their poker sized playing cards! Featuring original artwork by James Acken. Click the links and see if you are willing to help these great Celtic Kickstarters!

2 Hours of Great Celtic Music!Greetings Something amazing happened last week. I published the 2 Hours of Celtic Music special on the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast. The show is thanks to the generosity of the 29 Patrons of the Podcast. Two days after that show went live, we reached the next Milestone--2 Hours of Bagpipe Music! Wow, that's amazing! I'm overwhelmed and extremely grateful to each of my Patrons. I'm gonna start planning the bagpipe show right now. I plan to release it on November 5th. Thanks to each of you who made it possible. You can become a patron and support the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast. It costs just $1 an episode. That's less than one Starbucks coffee each month. Go to http://celticmusicpodcast.com/patreon/ to find out more. Plus, you'll enjoy some secret, exclusive, bonus content.
CELTIC MUSIC SPOTLIGHT FEEDBACK REQUESTED I spent the last few weeks recording the Celtic Music Spotlight. The show is getting better, but admittedly, it's is not getting many views. If you're not familiar with it, the show is a news-style video for my many Celtic websites. I let you know what's new with the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast and the Celtic Music Magazine. I spotlight a Celtic band along with interesting facts about the band. And I offer random tidbits of news. You can watch episodes at http://celticmp3s.com/spotlight/. I like the idea of promoting indie Celtic bands through the spotlight. But if it doesn't interest you, there's no point doing it. Let me know what you think of the show. Do you watch it? Do you just not have time to watch the 3 minute show? Or do you have no interest? Please let me know. Thanks!
CELTIC TRAVEL: DONEGAL CASTLE Guarding a picturesque bend of the River Eske, Donegal Castle remains an imperious monument to both Irish and English might. Built by the O'Donnells in 1474, it served as the seat of their formidable power until 1607, when the English decided to rid themselves of pesky Irish chieftains once and for all. Rory O'Donnell was no pushover, though, torching his own castle before fleeing to France in the infamous Flight of the Earls. Their defeat paved the way for the Plantation of Ulster by thousands of newly arrived Scots and English Protestants, sowing the seeds of the divisions that still afflict Ireland to this day. The castle was rebuilt in 1623 by Sir Basil Brooke, along with the adjacent three-storey Jacobean house. Further restoration in the 1990s has made it a wonderfully atmospheric place to visit, with rooms furnished with French tapestries and Persian rugs. There are guided tours every hour.

SUPPORT THE IRISH & CELTIC MUSIC PODCAST AND THE CELTIC MUSIC MAGAZINECELTIC MUSIC MAGAZINE October 3, 2014 Here are 3 ways you can support the magazine, podcast and indie Celtic musicians:
Celtic Halloween and Bagpipes A-Coming!Greetings Last week, I had my first every Celtic Halloween Music Show on Google Hangouts. It was a wonderful success. A couple dozen people showed up for the live performance and over 200 have now watched it on YouTube. The concert was sponsored by my personal patrons. Yes, I have two Patreon accounts now. One for my music and one for the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast. I want to send out a HUGE thanks to the, now, 40 Patrons of the Podcast. These are the folks who are sponsoring the show each and every week. You are the reason I continue to work my butt off to get the show done every Monday so I can share the podcast with over 10,000 people around the world, every week. The comments from the show continue to come in on the website. You can now listen to the podcast straight from the homepage at www.celticmusicpodcast.com. LJ nominated show #177 for the best episode of the year. I LOVE to hear that! In the next couple months, I'm gonna take your nominations for best music of 2014, because I REALLY want a Best Celtic Music of 2014 episode. But I can only do it with your votes and suggestions. Of course, that's a BIG challenge for this year. I have never released so many episodes as I have done in 2014. So you have a WIDE pick of songs to choose from. I will announce more on that at the end of November. In the meantime, stay tuned. Next week, I will have a Celtic Halloween special on the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast, and then, thanks again to our Patrons, you'll get a two-hour Bagpipe Music special on November 5th!
INTRODUCING CELTIC MUSIC JOURNAL The guys over at 67Music.net have done something extraordinary. They launched a brand new Celtic TV series called The Celtic Music Journal. This is a brilliant idea. Imagine America's Funniest Home Videos with Celtic Music. Well, maybe that's not a good analogy, because it's NOT comedy. It's awesome Celtic music! Basically, you send Sk0t and Steve your Celtic music videos that you shot over the past week or year. They then merge it into a 30-minute show along with interviews, and lots and lots of great Celtic music. I love this idea so much that I plan to promote this through my Celtic Music Spotlight channel on YouTube. You can watch past episodes of the Celtic Music Journal at http://67music.net/celtic-music-journal/
CELTIC SPOTLIGHT INTERVIEWS JESSE FERGUSON As for my own Celtic Music Spotlight, I decided to try something new. Tomorrow morning at 8:30 AM CST, I'm gonna do my first every live streaming interview. This will be with Jesse Ferguson, known as the Bard of Cornwall. Jesse is a Celtic musician and songwriter from Ontario, Canada who is quite successful with his own YouTube channel where he teaches people how to play some traditional and original Celtic songs. If you have any questions for Jesse, email them immediately, or visit watch the show live tomorrow morning at http://marcgunn.com/youtube/. You can find out more on our website: http://celticmp3s.com/2014/celtic-music-spotlight-on-jesse-ferguson-the-bard-of-cornwall-this-wednesday/ CELTIC TRAVEL: ARTDS FOREST PARK Ards Forest Park is a park in County Donegal, Ireland. It is situated on the small Ards Peninsula. It sits on the shores of Sheephaven Bay on the northern coastline of County Donegal, Ireland. It was formerly part of the Ards Estate, a country estate purchased by Alexander Stewart in the 1780s and was owned by the Stewart family up until the early 1930s. Today, the forest park is 481 hectares in area and contains a range of wildlife and plant forms. It also has nature walks, sandy beaches, viewing points as well as a picnic and play area. Ards Forest Park has many features of historical and archaeological interest. The remains of four ringforts and a number of megalithic tombs are to be seen in the park. Legend has it that these were the beds of Diarmuid and Gráinne in their flight from Fionn Mac Cumhaill. There is also a well called the Ague Well, which is alleged to be holy and have remedial powers; it can be seen on Bealach na hArdaigh walk. On the same walk there is a mass rock. Mass was celebrated here in defiance of the Penal Laws. There is also a car park and a children's play area.
