Celtic Music Before the War
Greetings my friends
My apologies if you tried downloading last week's show in the feed. I screwed up big time. I have a story podcast called Pirates vs. Dragons that was accidentally uploaded into the feed. And show #227 was not posted at all! I didn't catch the error until Monday. It's now fixed.
If you ever see that problem, feel free to email me. I'm fairly human. So mistakes happen.vYou can listen to #227: Celtic Music Before the War right now, on iTunes too.
A special note, I moved the show release time back. It's now 10am. I don't know if that'll affect you or not, but I felt I needed the extra time in case I find myself running behind. I want to consistently put out the show each and every week at the same time. Hopefully, this will help.
I also hope that next month I can catch up on work. But then again, I'll be performing all six weeks of the Louisiana Renaissance Festival. So perhaps not... We shall see.
I have sadly decided I will be doing fewer Celtic Christmas Podcast episodes this year. If you enjoy that podcast, please let me know. But time is tight right now. So I feel it's for the better.
I did a feature on Emerald Accent on the Celtic Music Spotlight this week. The spotlight is short but rather informative. Give it a listen and let me know what you think. And if you like, subscribe to The Celtfather podcast.
Finally, I'm performing this weekend at Johnnie MacCracken's Celtic Pub in Marietta, Georgia. I hope you can join me this Saturday!
This coming week on the podcast, I picked a few favorite bands that I haven't featured in a while: Ockham's Razor, Poitin, and Jesse Ferguson. I filled in the set with a fantastic show that left me smiling. You're gonna enjoy show #228 this Thursday.
Thanks for all your support!Slainte!
Marc Gunn, The Celtfather
