3-Hour Celtic Music Retrospective
Greetings my friends
I want to thank everyone who made the Celtic Music Challenge a HUGE hit last week. Show #217 features three hours of Celtic music with some of the top voted songs of the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast over the last ten years. It was a huge challenge to cut over ten hours of music down to three, but I did it. I also snuck in a handful of the over 70 voicemails I received telling me how much you love podcast.
I had so many voicemails, in fact, that I decided to continue the retrospective in this week's show (out on Thursday). It's a bit over an hour and features nearly a dozen songs, PLUS all of the rest of the voicemails that did not make it to show #217.
Thank you SO much for your awesome comments. Your passion was inspiring to me. It's wonderful to hear all of the people who love this show so much. Thank you!
In addition to a three hour show and ton of voicemails, we also raised a bunch of money on Patreon. Right now, we are $1 per episode away from a 2-Hour Bagpipe music show. Special thanks to my Celtic Superstars: Theresa Sullivan, Wesley Dunnington, Anna Cylkowski, Brendan Nix, John Bilderback, Brakeing Down Security Podcast, Rian P Kegerreis, Steven, Samual Hill, Johnny Berry, Shawn Cali. With any luck, we will have one of those shows in the weeks to come. You can help by becoming a Patron of the Podcast today: celticmusicpodcast.com/patreon.
Thank you again for all your incredible support of Celtic music.
Slainte!
Marc Gunn, The Celtfather
