CELTIC MUSIC NEWS
=========================

Greetings Celtic Music Lovers,

As the summer comes to an end, I find myself back in New Orleans
working releasing a new CD and ready for a restful break from
a full summer.

Remember that September 17th is the Six Months to St. Patrick's
Day celebration. Why not go find some Celtic music in your home
to listen and enjoy the great music of the Celts.


CELTIC INVASION OF DINGLE IRELAND AND SCOTLAND
http://www.celticinvasion.com/
The first Celtic Invasion of Ireland kicks off in just a couple
weeks. I'm soooo psyched. I'm still working on plans for next year,
but I hope to have Scotland going live any day now. Keep an eye
open on the website.

- Dingle, Ireland, September 16-23, 2009
- Scotland, May 12-19, 2010
- Hawaii, April 2010
- New Orleans, January, 2010
- Women of Ireland, September, 2010


MARC GUNN AT DRAGONCON
I am saddened to say, I wasn't able to secure a live Irish and
Celtic Music Podcast at DragonCon this year. I am nevertheless
booked at the convention with a full schedule.

If you've never been to a Science Fiction Convention, DragonCon is
more than that episode of Saturday Night Live where William Shatner
tells the Trekkies, "Get a life!" (YouTube it. It's hilarious and
both William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy are attending this year!)
It's a multimedia extravaganza with a lot of great panels and some
amazing Celtic music too.

Emerald Rose, Pandora Celtica, Bedlam Bards, and yours truly,
Marc Gunn are all in attendance. I have three shows scheduled
and a bunch of panels. I hope you will come join me for a smashing
time at a fun convention.

CELTIC MUSIC NEWS
=========================

Greetings Celtic Music Lovers,

It is another busy summer for your favorite editor of the
Celtic MP3s Music Magazine (okay, you're only editor...;)

While I am happily enjoying living in New Orleans, I really
didn't want to be there for the heat and humidity. So I've
been highly successful at avoiding the summer heat as I spend
my summer on tour.

I'll tell you more about that in a minute. But first a special
notice.


HOW TO GET CELTIC MP3s THROUGH THIS MAGAZINE
I had an email the other day from a guy asking how to download
the free MP3s I offer in this magazine. It is excellent question
that I thought I would address here.

You will note that this email newsletter does not offer direct
links to any MP3s. To access those, you must visit the website,
either subscribe to the feed or head down to "Celtic CD Reviews
and MP3 Downloads" and click the link. The blog that you will
find there offers a mix of Celtic CD reviews and MP3 downloads.
Pretty simple. However, the posts have not always been.

To help you distinguish which is which, the reviews are all listed
as "Review:" followed by the album and artist name.

So for example, the lastest review posted reads:

  Review: "Don't Count Me Out" by Kevin Flynn & The Avondale Ramblers

Now the MP3s were not so clear in the past. So for now on, I'm
doing the same to them so that the latest MP3 download now reads:

  MP3: "The Wanderer" by Anois

Below the subject is a wee bit of information about the artist
along with a bolded link to the artist website, CD from which the
song comes, and the song title preceded by "Download MP3:". Just
right-click and save the MP3 to your hard drive and you are ready
to go.

Now the goal of the magazine is to update you with the latest
news and updates from the magazine, podcast, occasional Celtic
music news, plus some of the stuff I am busy with at the moment.

I hope that helps you better access the great information at your
fingertips, because we are changing the way you hear Celtic music.

MARC GUNN ON TOUR
As I said, I've been on tour this summer. Last month, I toured
up to Chicago. And right now, I'm in Maryland, making my way to
New York for a couple shows there as well. Here's a list of the
shows on this tour and in the coming months:

7.30 (DENTON, MD) Market Street Public House
8.1 (BRONX, NY) An Beal Bocht Cafe
8.3 (BROOKLYN, NY) Ceol Irish Pub
8.5 (GREENBELT, MD) New Deal Cafe

8.12-16 (INDIANAPOLIS, IN) GenCon
9.4-7 (ATLANTA, GA) DragonCon

OH! And I am excited to announce the completion of my latest
CD "Happy Songs of Death". The album will be out in late August,
2009. So keep an ear open for some special features to come.


LIVE CELTIC PODCAST AT DRAGONCON 2009
Once again, I am performing at DragonCon, one of the largest
Science Fiction conventions in the world. But THAT'S NOT ALL.
I am also scheduled to host a LIVE Irish & Celtic Music Podcast.

If you enjoy my hugely successful podcast, you can now come out
and see and hear me live along with several Celtic music groups
as I play more of the great Celtic music you love.

ATTN BANDS: I am currently looking for Celtic groups who might
be interested in playing a song or two live. Space is limited.
So drop me a line asap if you are interested.


CELTIC INVASION OF DINGLE IRELAND AND SCOTLAND
http://www.celticinvasion.com/
The first Celtic Invasion of Italy was a tremendous success. So
much so that I have several Celtic Invasion Vacations planned for
the coming year. To find out more you will need to go to the CIV
website and follow the directions. But more detials will come soon.

- Dingle, Ireland, September 16-23, 2009
- Scotland, May 12-19, 2010
- Hawaii, April 2010
- New Orleans, January, 2010
- Women of Ireland, September, 2010


CELTIC MUSIC IN THE GRAMMIES?
http://www.grammy.com/
I was chatting with Celtic harpist Anne Roos recently about the
fact that there is no Celtic category in the Grammies. What a
shame!

If you listen to my podcast, you know there is too much great
Celtic music NOT to have it's own category. I want to see that
change.

Tell your favorite Celtic music group to submit their new albums
to the Grammies. If we can show them that we have a strong base,
we will get our much deserved category.

Head to Grammy.com and let's make a change! The deadline to submit
is July 31, 2009.

AND while you're in the submitting mood, make sure you submit
your bands new music to the Celtic MP3s Music Magazine.

If your favorite artist hasn't been played, then email them
and ask them to submit too.

CELTIC MUSIC NEWS
=========================

Greetings Celtic Music Lovers,

It's been a busy time since St. Patrick's Day. I've been on
the road a lot as well as completing a lot of big projects.
So many in fact, I'm not really sure where to begin.

So let's start by telling you that I am three hours away from
flying to Italy for my first Celtic Invasion Vacation. Six
days in sunny Tuscany followed by two days in Rome. I even
booked a show at Finnegan Irish Pub in Florence this Friday,
May 15th.

   May 15, 2009
   Marc Gunn @ 9:30pm to midnight
   Finnegan Irish Pub

Speaking of Celtic Invasion Vacations, I have TWO planned
for next year, 2010--May in Scotland and September in
Ireland. I am working on the details. However, if you want
to be a part of them, sign up to the mailing list to be the
first to join the trips.

Celtic Invasion Vacations

EXPERIENCE THE MAGIC OF CELTIC CDS
The Best of the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast Compilation CD
has done great since St. Patrick's Day. The response is
overwhelming. If you enjoyed that second St. Pat's special
featuring the CD, then go review the album on iTunes or on
CD Baby. And please, please, tell a friend.

Best of the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast
http://cdbaby.com/cd/boticmp/from/celtic/

Shortly after releasing the compilation, I released a new
live CD for the cat lovers out there called "Live at the
Cactus Cafe". It was recorded last summer. CD Baby loved
it so much, they featured it on their homepage last month.
What a great honor!

Live at the Cactus Cafe: Cat Song and Celtic Music
http://cdbaby.com/cd/mgtdtc5/from/celtic/

I spent last month finishing up another CD of my own as well.
The new album is called "Happy Songs of Death". And I hope to
officially release it in July.

The CD is currently available for pre-orders with two cool
CD covers to choose from.

Greetings Celtic Music Lovers,

Every year for St. Patrick's Day, I compile a new list of
St Patrick's Day MP3 downloads that are 100% free and legal.
Many of these artists are played regularly in the Irish & Celtic
Music Podcast. And ALL of these artists were generous enough to
offer their music for a brand compilation CD entitled the Best
of the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast.

Buy Best of the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast Compilation CD
http://cdbaby.com/cd/boticmp/from/celtic/

This compilation CD benefits the podcast as well as
miscellaneous Celtic non-profits. I've donated over $6,000 to
Celtic non-profits around the United States. So when you buy
a CD, you support both this podcast and your fellow Celts.

But please don't stop there!

The main point of this compilation and these free MP3s is to
help promote independent Celtic music. If you find an artist that
you really love on this compilation, then head over to the artist
website, drop them an email to let them know you found them
through the CD. Then buy their CD.

While you're at it, if you want to find out what it's like
getting an annual subscription to Song Henge, you'll get a good
idea when you download this free zip file of 17 Free St Patrick's
Day MP3s for 2009.

CELTIC MUSIC NEWS
=========================

Greetings Celtic Music Lovers,

Is it just me or is the year just flying by? I've been in
overdrive since January and Mardi Gras madness of New Orleans
has just added to it. Now St. Patrick's Day is just a few weeks
away, and I still have SO much to do. It is never ending!

Just what have I done?


BEST OF THE IRISH & CELTIC MUSIC PODCAST
http://celticmusicpodcast.com/best_of_icmp_compilation.shtml
Just off the heals of Best of show #61 of the Irish & Celtic
Music Podcast I spent the last month compiling the next
compilation CD from the Celtic MP3s Music Magazine and the Irish
& Celtic Music Podcast. It is indeed called "Best of the
Irish & Celtic Music Podcast.

The album features 17 tracks of music, much like what you would
hear on any episode of the podcast (except longer). There's
music from FIMM, Sligo Rags, Banshee in the Kitchen, Jed Marum
with Hugh Morrison and Mason Brown, Poitin, MacTalla Mor, Ceann,
Anne Roos, Athas, Beth Patterson, Jesse Ferguson, Maidens IV,
Rattle the Boards, Jamie Laval and Ashley Broder, Patrick's Head,
Pitch the Peat, and Marc Gunn. These are my picks of some of the
best songs and performances that have come across my path over
the past year and more. It's an oustanding mix!

The CD is now off to the printers. Unfortunately, I don't *think*
I'll have it in time for St. Patrick's Day. However, you can
download it free, right here, in this magazine in a couple weeks.
Or better yet, support the podcast and by downloading the MP3s
right now. You can do so by making a donation to the Irish &
Celtic Music Podcast.

Want a free copy of the CD...


JOIN THE PODCAST STREET TEAM
http://www.reverbnation.com/label/celticmp3smusicmagazine
St. Patrick's Day is rapidly approaching and I need you to help
spread the word about the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast. Join
our street team to win a copy of the "Best of the Irish & Celtic
Music Podcast". The compilation is coming soon!

or a hot bubble bath. Order your copy today.

Greetings Celtic Music Lovers,

Happy New Year! I hope your year has gotten off to a great start.
Mine has, having moved to New Orleans and even played my first
gig here as a resident. I almost have two more lined up for
February. So stay tuned for that.

I also had a kinda crazy idea--Celtic DJ. Have you ever seen or
heard a DJ at an event that focused on Irish and Celtic music?
Maybe it's been done, but I've heard nothing like it down here.
I'm thinking I might give that a try sometime. We shall see.
Could make for some grand craic!


IRISH & CELTIC MUSIC PODCAST - BEST OF 2008

Last week, I released my Best of 2008 edition of the Irish

Celtic Top 5. Well at the end of the year, I compile all
the votes that people made for the Celtic Top 5 and create
the Best of 2008. It features 20 songs of amazing Celtic music.
The show is now available for download. And as always, it
doesn't cost a thing. So download the show and give it to
a friend. Let's make 2009 the year of the Celt!

CELTIC MUSIC NEWS
=========================

Greetings Celtic Music Lover,

I hope you're having a wonderful holiday season. Mine was kicked off
last week with snow in Louisiana. We got six inches of snow and our
power was out for three days. Having lived in Texas for the last 26
years, what a trip that was. It was a perfect start to my Christmas
celebrations.

My first gift to myself is finding an apartment in the Lower Garden
District of New Orleans. Now I just need to find a few shows so I
can start gigging there.


CELTIC CHRISTMAS
Hey! Ever wonder what it would be like to have Christmas in Killarney,
or anywhere in Ireland? Check out this article at the Irish Fireside.

For those who are wondering, I hope to record my Celtic Christmas
special today. So it should be out by the end of the week. In the
meantime, check out the Cleveland Celtic Podcast. Wendy will have
TWO fantastic Christmas shows this year.


GIVE THE GIFT OF CELTIC MUSIC FOR CHRISTMAS
A couple days ago, someone emailed telling me they wanted to buy
a Premiere Membership for their child for Christmas. I never
thought to offer gift cards. But you can do it yourself. Just
sign up as a Premiere Member, and we can make it happen.

in those two categories. Also, you can vote for the Irish Fireside for
"Best Travel". They made it too, thanks to you! (And you'll find The
Signal for "Best Movie and Film". W00t! Go Firefly!).

This is a bit different from the nominations. You can VOTE ONCE A DAY!
Here's the details from the Podcast Awards site:

MOVING TO NEW ORLEANS
If you listened to the last Irish & Celtic Music Podcast, you heard
I was moving to New Orleans! My apartment is almost packed up, and
I have less than a week to go.

I want to thank all the well-wishers out there. This is an exciting
time for me with lots of big changes coming. If you're in the New
Orleans area, keep an eye on my website, I hope to have some regular
gigs there. But for the next month, I'll be at the Louisiana
Renaissance Festival performing for the wine and whiskey tastings.
Don't miss it!

I've wasted no time working on new music. In fact, I am
releasing a new EP of songs next month that I recorded with my
cat CD producer, Rich Brotherton. This EP features a couple of
traditional songs alongside a couple of original songs. The
physical CD will Not be for sale. In fact, the only way you
can own a copy is to get it free. Expect to hear some of my
new music on an upcoming Irish & Celtic Music Podcast.

Greetings Celtic Music Lover,

I made some big changes to the Celtic MP3s Music Magazine last
month. You may not easily see them on the website, but my goal
was to make it easier for you to find the content of the magazine.

Here is what's new:

  1. The homepage now has a direct link to http://www.celticmp3s.com/free/
  where all the free downloads and reviews are available.

  2. You can now subscribe to the blog RSS feed by adding
  http://feeds.feedburner.com/celticmp3s to your favorite blog
  reader.

Or best of all,

  3. Get a daily email update of the blog featuring the latest
  Celtic MP3s and reviews.
http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/emailverifySubmit?feedId=1426843&loc=en_US

That last one is extra cool. Instead of waiting once a month for
your downloads, you can get them once a day as they are released.
How cool is that? Sign up and find out!

CELTIC MUSIC NEWS
=========================

Greetings Celtic Music Lover,

Ireland was magnificient. But then I'm sure you know that.
Coming from hot, 100 degree weather in Texas and arriving to
50s and 60s was sheer perfection. Perfect temperature, beautiful
lush, green, landscape, fantastic people, great food, amazing
drinks. *sigh* I'm ready to go back.

My absolute favorte place to visit on this trip was
Gougane Barra, a lush green valley in Southeast Ireland with
a beautiful lake and 6th century stone church. It was peaceful
and serene. We had lunch beneath a stone circle. We sang songs
late into the night in Leenane. We soulfully danced and played
through Brigit's Garden. We ate and drank like Irish kings.
Well, you get the idea. If you want to see pictures from the
trip or read my Ireland blog, please enjoy.

Vacation tour of Ireland Pictures

and Ireland Blog
http://www.marcgunn.com/labels/travel.shtml

The one downside to the trip was I caught a cold near the end.
That turned into a sore throat when I got home and laryngitis
that I just now got over. I spent the last two weeks sleeping
trying to recover. Consequently, I only released one podcast
in the past two weeks. It was my personal podcast, the
Pub Songs Podcast, recorded live from Ireland.

Pub Songs Podcast
http://www.pubsong.com/

I'm feeling better now which means it's time to celebrate the...


THREE-YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF THE IRISH & CELTIC MUSIC PODCAST
Yes, July 28th marks the three-year anniversary of the podcast.
Fifty-one episodes are currently up. I hope to post show fifty-
two tomorrow at the latest. Then I'm gonna try to plug out a
bunch more shows.

Last month, I mentioned the the Celtic Mini-Podcasts. Well,
I found out that the People's Choice Podcast Award Nominations
don't open until September instead of July like last year. So
I'm gonna delay those mini-podcasts until then. If you'd like
to submit some Celtic Mini-Podcast show ideas, there's an open
discussion in the Song Henge forum for members. But you can
also email me mini-show ideas. We're talking 4-5 song shows
featuring a specific topic, like fiddle, gaelic singing,
bagpipes, drinking songs, etc.. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Again, looks like you will have to wait until September for
those shows to kick in. So head on over to the Song Henge forum
and submit show ideas. I'd like to get those prepared as soon
as possible.

Stay tuned for a new Irish & Celtic Music Podcast very soon!

Greetings Celtic Music Lovers,

It is a busy time for me. In two weeks, I hop an airplane to
Ireland for the last Brobdingnagian Bards Tour of Ireland. I
can't wait too. Good friends, beautiful landscape, wonderful
people and great drink. Guinness, stock up cuz here I come!


IRISH & CELTIC MUSIC MINI-PODCAST
Ten days on the road with unknown internet connections, I am
trying to make sure my podcasts are all up-to-date. I just
finished show #50 and the shownotes for #51 are done as well.

That preparation got me thinking about the summer. July marks
the 3-year anniversary of the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast
and also the PodCastAwards. I thought a good way to celebrate
AND pimp the podcast was to put together Celtic Mini-Podcasts.

The podcasts will be short shows that highlight specific
topics throughout the month of July on a much more frequent
basis. I'm still working out the details, but the ultimate
goal is to spread the word about the podcast and to win Best
Podsafe Music in the PodCast Awards.

So keep an eye open next month when I share more details
this three-year anniversary promotion.

Irish & Celtic Music Podcast

GOING FOR BROGUE: IRISH PUB SONGS AND SEA SHANTIES
A while back, I threw together a few recordings of Irish songs
for my Irish Songs & Lyrics website. Those recordings are now
on a new compilation CD called "Going for Brogue", and I just
got word that the CD was shipped Friday. Stay tuned!

"Whiskers in the Jar: Irish Songs for Cat Lovers", my latest
CD combining my love of Celtic music and cats should be shipped
any day now as well. So everyone who pre-ordered the CD, it
will be here soon!

You can pre-order both those albums here:

Greetings Celtic Music Lovers,
Everyone have a safe and happy St. Patrick's Day? I wish I could
say I did. Nothing worse than getting the flu on your birthday
and such a fun holiday. Ah well, I made the best of it. And even
finished two killer Irish & Celtic Music Podcasts which rocked
the charts on iTunes.

I am finally just about back to full health again. It was a
long month of recovery. I feel pretty good now and I'm finally
catching up on a lot of overdue projects. I should have a new
Celtic podcast out shortly.

Irish & Celtic Music Podcast
http://www.celticmusicpodcast.com/


HAPPY VICTIMS OF IRISH MUSIC
One of the exciting things for me that happened over
St. Patrick's Day was the climb of last year's Victims of
Irish Music compilation to #13 on the iTunes World Music charts.
With a special feature from iTunes, the amazing artists on this
album were exposed to tons of Irish music fans. With any luck,
each band has earned scores of new fans themselves. A special
thanks to everyone who picked up a copy of that CD over the
holiday. That was a great way to support independent Celtic
music.

Victims of Irish Music
http://cdbaby.com/cd/victimsirishmusic/from/celtic/


WHISKERS IN THE JAR: IRISH SONGS FOR CAT LOVERS
The new CD is finished and off to the printers. Those who
adopted the early copies of the album are already laying out
there love and excitement for the new CD.

The final album will be released late May. But you can download
three free tracks from the album and pre-order your copy at
www.catdrinkingsongs.com. If you love cats and you love Celtic
music, you will adore this CD.


Well, that's about all the news for now. I'm sure I forgot
something, but what's new. Hey! If you want to find out more
about me and my music projects, check out my website at
www.marcgunn.com.

Tthanks for being a part of the Celtic MP3s Music Magazine.
I hope you find a ton of great bands and continue to support

CELTIC MUSIC NEWS
=========================

Greetings Celtic Music Lovers,

St. Patrick's Day is almost here. And I'm really looking forward
to it as usual, partially because it's a wonderful opportunity
for great music and gigs, and partially because March 17th is
my birthday. W00t!

If you're in Austin, you will find a nice list of St. Patrick's
Day events listed at http://www.stpatricksdayparty.net/ .


IRISH SONGS FOR CAT LOVERS
Thusfar, I've had little time to think about St. Patrick's Day
though, because I spent February recording my follow-up to the
popular CD, "Irish Drinking Songs for Cat Lovers". The new
album is called "Whiskers in the Jar: Irish Songs for Cat Lovers".
I recorded it with Rich Brotherton, who also produced albums here
in Austin by Ed Miller and The Tea Merchants. It sounds amazing!

The final album will be out in late April. You can download three
free tracks from the album and pre-order your copy at
www.catdrinkingsongs.com. If you love cats and you love Celtic
music, you will adore this CD.


CELTIC MUSIC FOR ST. PATRICK'S DAY
While the cat CD took up most my time for February, I'm now
preparing a couple new shows for the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast
to once again celebrate all the amazing music of Celts around the
world. I even have a cool theme coming up, Celtic Music from
Second (and greater) generation Celtic disaspora.

I was looking at a Celtic radio show playlist just the other day,
and saw all these great bands from Ireland and Scotland, but NONE
from America, Canada, Australia, Germany, Italy, Czech Republic,
Brazil. The Celts are now ALL over the world. And it seems a
pitty to me that more of their music is not heard. So one of
these next shows will be dedicated to those deserved musicians.

If you're not subscribed to the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast
(a podcast is just an MP3 that you can download for free), then
head on over to www.celticmusicpodcast.com and find out how to
subscribe and get the music delivered to you as soon as it is
released!

I also want to thank everyone who picked up a copy of "Victims
of Irish Music". The CD is skyrocketing this year, especially on
iTunes where it is currently #70 of the most-popular World music CDs.

VACATION TOUR OF IRELAND
The Brobdingnagian Bards Vacation Tour of Ireland deadline is
now past. However, we still have a few more spaces available.
So it is not too late to join the most memorable tour of
Ireland you will ever experience. Hurry on over and find out
how you can become a part of Ireland.

AUSTIN MUSIC POLL
I want to thank EVERYONE who helped me out by voting in the
Austin Music Poll. The results will be published right before
St. Patrick's Day. And while I don't know for sure if we won,
we have had our third invite to attend the Austin Music Awards.
So thank you, thank you, thank you!

And a special thanks for being a part of the Celtic MP3s Music
Magazine. I hope you find a ton of great music and continue to
support independent Celtic music for many, many years to come.
Slainte!

CELTIC MUSIC NEWS
=========================

Greetings Celtic Music Lovers,

Happy New Year! I hope your holidays were awesome! I had a
great time flying to Germany where I played in an Irish pub in
Rudesheim. Now THAT was an experience. Especially since I don't
speak a speck of German.

For New Years (known as Hogmanay in Scotland), I got all creative
and recorded "Auld Lang Syne" for my MarcSongs Podcast. I even
found a translation for some of that difficult to understand
Scots.

MarcSongs Podcast
http://www.marcgunn.com/marcsongs/


BEST CELTIC MUSIC OF 2007
It's that time of year for 'Best Of' lists. So I asked Catherine
Tully to post her favorite albums of 2007. And voila! They are
up along with another one by Austin Celtic Storm DJ, Donnelle
McKaskle.

See the Best Celtic Albums of 2007
http://www.celticmp3s.com/magazine/

And I posted the top voted songs in the last the latest Irish
& Celtic Music Podcast. I should have a new show up soon which
will include more music from those well-loved artists.


LAST CHANCE TO JOIN THE BARDS 2008 VACATION TOUR OF IRELAND
Ever wanted to go to Ireland. My band is taking a bunch of
Celtophiles to Ireland in June for a fantastic, non-touristy
trip to some of the hidden gemms of Ireland. The deadline is
January 23rd. Come join me!

VOTE FOR CELTIC MUSIC - ONE FINAL WEE REQUEST
The Austin Music Poll is back. Last year, my band won an award
thanks to your help, as did The Tea Merchants. I'd like to ask
for your help once again. Anyone in the world can vote in the
Austin Music Poll, but only Austin bands can win. So I posted
a few suggestions for other Celtic artists who I enjoy. Please
vote Celtic in this year's Poll. I'm still hoping we'll win
Best Folk Band.

Greetings Celtic Music Lovers,

I am in Louisiana right. My band, the Brobdingnagian Bards, are
performing at a festival here so I've been a little slow at getting
this newsletter out. But it is here at last! Thank you for
subscribing and for telling your friends.

Oh! And I am heading to Germany in December. So with any luck
I may have a gig or two or at the very least meet some Celtic
musicians while I'm there.


NEW SEARCH ENGINE AT THE IRISH & CELTIC MUSIC PODCAST
I had a recent request to add a search engine to the Irish

website for bands you heard and listen to them in each
show. Check it out at http://www.celticmusicpodcast.com/


CELTIC CHRISTMAS MUSIC
Christmas is just around the corner, and I am getting CDs and
emails about new Celtic Christmas albums. So I bought a new
domain to highlight those CDs. It's at
http://www.celticchristmasmusic.net/

Right now, it links to an old Celtic Christmas page. But if
you have any suggestions for CDs that should go on the site,
please email me.

Also, I am looking for Celtic Christmas music for a special
edition of the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast. If you know of an
Independent Celtic group with Christmas music, ask them to
submit at http://www.celticmp3s.com/submit/ .


BROBDINGNAGIAN BARDS 2008 VACATION TOUR OF IRELAND
Booking for our 2008 tour to Ireland is currently underway. Don't
miss out on this great trip where you will experience Kerry.

Think of Kerry, you may think of Ring Of Kerry, but we are
travelling through the Bearra Peninsula, the most beautiful
peninsula in Ireland. We will visit 5000 year old stone circles
in mountain and waterfall valleys and travel down the beautiful
spiralling Healy Pass that famine refugess built to reach food.

Greetings Celtic Music Lovers,

Hola! Did everyone have a great Six Months Till St. Patrick's Day
Celebration? Or what I like to call the Six Months Till Marc's
Birthday Celebration? I was in New Jersey playing a wedding. So I
missed most of the partying, but I heard Things Celtic, here in
Austin, had a cool Kilt Fashion Show that I wish I could've
attended. Maybe next year.

Things Celtic
http://www.thingsceltic.com/


ST PATRICK'S DAY 2008 MOVED!
Speaking of St. Patrick's Day, I have some SHOCKING NEWS for 2008.
St. Patrick's Day will NOT be on March 17th!

According to the Vatican Easter Sunday is a early next year, on
March 23rd. Thus, Holy Week should start on March 17th. I think
the Church can't have a Saint's holiday during Holy Week. So Saint
Paddy's Day was moved to March 15th by the Pope.

Despite that, everyone on my Livejournal plans to celebrate St.
Patrick's Day on the 17th as usual. As for me, I'm more in favor
of saying, "Awesome! Let's have Two Days of Partying!"

CELTIC MUSIC NEWS
=========================

Greetings Celtic Music Lovers,

Sorry for the delay in getting this newsletter out. I'm soooo far
behind after an absolutely brilliant trip to Ireland back in June.
I posted some audio clips from the trip in the last Irish & Celtic
Music Podcast. And if you'd like to see some of my pictures, you
can see them at Flickr.

Irish & Celtic Music Podcast
http://www.celticmusicpodcast.com/

Photos of Ireland
http://www.flickr.com/photos/bellobard/sets/72157600674334755/

I am already planning our next trip. So stay tuned for more info
about that coming soon...

A couple quick updates:

Top The Charts seemed to go over well with people, but as I was
out of the country I was unable to find out how well Cady did
on the charts. I'm gonna plan another one of those in the near
future. And we'll see what we can do then.

Top the Charts
http://www.celticmusicpodcast.com/topthecharts/

I've been pleasantly surprised with the success of my newest
CD, "Irish Drinking Songs: The Cat Lover's Companion". I
released the album in the middle of June and have had dozens
of happy reviews for the new CD. So thanks to those of you
who posted reviews at iTunes and CDBaby.

CELTIC MUSIC NEWS
=========================

Greetings Celtic Music Lovers,

I love it when I'm working at a festival or something and some
complete stranger walks up to me and says, "Hey! Thanks for sending
me free downloads every month". That happened this weekend from a
reader of the Celtic MP3s Music Magazine.

It made me feel nice. I love sharing music. I love helping bands.
And I love to know that you are getting something valuable out of
the work I do on- and offline.

To the end of helping bands, I started something new. It's called
Top The Charts. The plan is to help an independent Celtic artist
climb to the top of the charts on iTunes.

What's it about? I would like you to go to the Top The Charts
website at the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast website and purchase
an MP3 on the 15th of every month. By doing so, we will send one
Celtic artist to Top the Charts. It will only cost you 99 cents.
So I hope you'll help this month's Chart Topper--Cady Finlayson.

Top The Charts
http://www.celticmusicpodcast.com/topthecharts/


Speaking of independent Celtic groups, don't forget to check out
"Victims of Irish Music". That is my latest Celtic compilation
of instrumental Celtic music. You can read the many glowing
reviews about it at CD Baby.

Victims of Irish Music
http://cdbaby.com/cd/victimsirishmusic/from/celtic/


OFF TO IRELAND TOMORROW
The biggest news for me is that tomorrow, June 6th, I will be
on a plane to Ireland. The Brobdingnagian Bards vacation tour
starts this week. Wow! I'm barely ready, but I wanted to get
this newsletter out before I left.

I also wanted to let you know that my latest solo CD is out.
It's called "Irish Drinking Songs: The Cat Lover's Companion".
The album features all the original Irish songs that I parodied
on my CD, "Irish Drinking Songs for Cat Lovers".

I was hoping to do some big promotion to see if I could push
this CD up the charts by having you purchase the album on June
6th, the official release date. I haven't done nearly as much
promotion as I had hoped. But if you enjoy this magazine, my
music, or any of my other projects promoting Celtic music, I
hope you'll consider picking up an album or two. They make
great gifts. ;)

I'll talk to you when I get back from Ireland. Slainte!

CELTIC MUSIC NEWS
=========================

Greetings Celtic Music Lovers,

Was March a wild month for everyone or just me? What with
St. Patrick's Day, podcasts, and gigs, I was swamped. But I am
pleased to announce that the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast did, in
fact, climb to the #1 spot of iTunes music podcasts and stayed in
the top five all month. There are over 10K subscribers and forty
thousands downloads of each show. One listener played the podcast
in a St. Patrick's Day parade. Too cool! I want to thank all of
you for more making it #1!

Irish & Celtic Music Podcast
http://www.celticmusicpodcast.com/

One thing I found that was fascinating last month was CD sales
were down. Last year, my indie label, Mage Records sold twice as
many CDs. So I'm still waiting for the iTunes results to come in
to see if there were significantly greater sales of digital music.

Undaunted by lower physical sales, I'm pleased to announce that
"Victims of Irish Music", my new Celtic compilation of Irish
instrumentals is now at last available on CD Baby. And it should
be up on iTunes any day now.

Victims of Irish Music
http://cdbaby.com/cd/victimsirishmusic/from/celtic/

Meantime, I have several new MP3s for you listed below. I hope you
enjoy the music and if so, please rememeber to support independent
bands that you love by buying their music when you can.

Slainte!

Song Henge earned quite a few new lifetime subscribers last month
before I instituted a new annual service at a reduced rate. It's
no where near as cool as a lifetime subscription, but for those
who want to try it out. It's a great option.

And I just posted the MP3s from March. Whoa! Was there a lot of

=========================

Greetings Celtic Music Lovers,

St. Patrick's Day is almost here, and as promised, I finished
my annual article "17 Free Irish & Celtic Music Downloads for
St. Patrick's Day". But I'll get to that in a moment...

First, I want to thank YOU for voting for the Brobdingnagian
Bards in the Austin Music Awards. Last night, we won Best None
of the Above Band. I guess you could say we defy description
in the general music scene. But I know better. We play the
music we love! But thank you if you did take the time to vote
for us. It means a lot.

Brobdingnagian Bards in Austin Music Awards
http://thebards.net/tales/2007/03/brobdingnagian-bards-named-best-none-of.shtml

Second, I'm happy to announce that Victims of Irish Music
is now officially on sale. The CDs haven't been processed by
CDBaby yet, but they arrived a few days ago. And people are
going ga-ga over the album already. I want to thank everyone
who contributed to this outstanding compilation!

Victims of Irish Music
http://www.celticmusicpodcast.com/victims_irish_music.shtml

Third, the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast is at #4 on iTunes
Music Charts and climbing. Woohoo! I hope to finish the St.
Patrick's Day two-hour special tomorrow featuring many of
the songs that you'll be downloading below.

Irish & Celtic Music Podcast
http://www.celticmusicpodcast.com/

Last, your downloads...

Every year for St. Patrick's Day, I compile a new list of
St Patrick's Day MP3 downloads that are 100% free and legal.
This year, I decided to present them in a new format. This
year, all the files are compiled like a gigantic digital
compilation CD. I ZIP the files up and you just need to
download one file.

And if you were ever wondering what Song Henge is like.
Well, now you have a better idea. Every month, I compile MP3
submissions into one of these ZIP files and send it out to
hundreds of subscribers. Oh! And remember, at the end of the
month, I'm switching to an annual fee. So you still have time
to take advantage of the lifetime subscription fee for under
twenty dollars.

CELTIC MUSIC NEWS
=========================

Greetings Celtic Music Lovers,

The great month of March is at hand, and St. Patrick's Day
rapidly approaches. That means, you need to keep an eye open
for my annual 17 Free Celtic Music Downloads for St. Patrick's Day.
This is, what, year four or five for this special feature where I
highlight some of my favorite MP3s that bands giveaway for free.

But to start the month off, I'm pleased to announce the winners in
the 2nd Annual Celtic Music Awards. There were over 4,000 votes
cast in the 2006 awards. That's more than double over last year's.
And there's an all new cast of winners.

2nd Annual Celtic Music Awards
http://www.celticmp3s.com/awards/

I'm also pleased to announce the release of an all-new compilation
CD from my Irish & Celtic Music Podcast. It's called "Victims of
Irish Music" and features 17 tracks of great Irish and Celtic
instrumental music. That's over an hour of brilliant tunes to
satisfy your craving for music on St. Patrick's Day. You can
pre-order the album now, or buy the downloads and start hearing
some of my favorite Irish tunes.

Victims of Irish Music
http://www.celticmusicpodcast.com/victims_irish_music.shtml

Oh! And speaking of the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast. Last month,
that podcast took the world by storm as it climbed to #13 on iTunes
most-popular podcasts and the #1 music podcast. And to think, St.
Patrick's Day isn't even here yet!

Well, I'm gonna try to drop you a line before St. Patrick's Day.
If you don't hear from me, check the website for the special
St Paddy's Day feature.

Slainte!
- Marc Gunn, Bard

Greetings Celtic Music Lovers,

My apologies for the huge delay in ezines. I think this is one
of those many reasons why I need to find people to manage
different aspects of the magazine. I have a bad habit of doing
too much. But sometimes, it pays off!

Today, in fact, the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast blasted its
way up the podcast charts on iTunes. It's now the #2 most-
popular music podcast and the #22 most-popular podcast in the
world! Is that awesome or what?! And St Patrick's Day hasn't
even arrived yet. Just think what we can accomplish. So to
everyone who listens, I thank you.

Irish & Celtic Music Podcast
http://www.celticmusicpodcast.com/

That's not to say I don't have some great people working with
me and the magazine. You'll notice a LOT of new MP3s in the
free downloads section of the magazine. The blog went down
last month, but Karen, who's leading the effort of establishing
an offline Celtic music magazine, helped me get everything
back up as soon as the blog came back online.

The Celtic Music Awards went off without a hitch. And I should
release the winners in the very near future. And I hope to
finally start sending out Celtic CD Giveaway winners their
prizes soon too. My apologies for the delay.

All in all, there's a lot to do so I thank you for your
continued support. Take care and I'll talk to you soon.

Slainte!

Greetings Celtic Music Lovers,

And Happy Holidays. The season is on us and it's a busy season
indeed for me. I have an Irish & Celtic Music Podcast coming
out in a few days and then I'm gonna dig through my wintery
Celtic music to put together a show in time for Christmas. Then
I'm back on the road. Mostly to visit family, but I hope to
organize a few house concerts after Christmas in the Virginia
area while I'm out there. If you want to find out more you can
always check out my Myspace page.

Marc at Myspace

Also, the 2006 Celtic Music Awards are now on us. In fact, you
have just one more month to vote for your favorite Celtic music
groups. The votes are pouring in. So make sure you recognize your
favorite group.

Celtic Music Awards of 2006

Well, I hope your holidays are filled with cheer. Thanks for
your continual support of independent Celtic music. And why not
consider buying Celtic music from your favorite artist and
sharing it with your friends.

Greetings Celtic Music Lovers,

I hope you had a Happy Halloween and Samhain. This year is
flying by. The Celtic Music Awards are up and running. We've
already had more votes than last year. I'm hoping for an even
better turnout and selection of music with the increased
categories to vote for.

If you haven't voted yet, head on over and cast your vote for
your favorite Celtic music groups and websites. Course, I'm a
big fan of independent music, but you feel free to vote for
whoever you like.

- Celtic Music Awards
http://www.celticmp3s.com/awards/

I've also thrown around the idea of starting an offline Celtic
Music Magazine to highlight many the great Celtic groups in
the U.S. and Canada. I've gathered a bunch of folks interested
in the idea. I don't know if it'll happen yet, but if you're
interested in being a part of it, email Karen the editor at
karen@....

Many thanks for your continue support of the Celtic MP3s Music
Magazine and Celtic music in general. Slainte!

Greetings Celtic Music Lovers,

My apologies once again that I haven't written sooner. I really need
to find a dedicated Magazine Editor to make sure this mag gets out
on a regular basis. If you're interested, let me know.

Meanwhile, it's been a busy month. I spent most of July on the road
and found lots of new Celtic music fans out there. There's a lot of
people listening to the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast out there.
That's one of the reasons I decided to bring back the Great Celtic
CD Giveaway through the podcast. If you haven't listened, do so.
It's the only way to win an iPod or a bunch of CDs.

Irish & Celtic Music Podcast
http://www.celticmusicpodcast.com/

Speaking of podcasts, more Celtic ones are popping up. The latest
is the TinPenny WhistleCast. http://www.tinpennywhistlecast.com/

Many thanks for your continue support of the Celtic MP3s Music
Magazine and Celtic music in general. Slainte!

CELTIC MUSIC NEWS

Greetings Celtic Music Lovers,

I want to take a moment to thank everyone who signed up to the Irish
& Celtic Music Podcast last month. I was astounded to see it climb
to #23 on the iTunes Music Podcast Charts. That is just awesome.
Thank you!

It also got me thinking. Podcasting is a relatively new forum. It
was only a year and a half ago when the Celtic Music News Podcast
first started up. And maybe a year before that before podcasting
was first catching the public's eye.

With a new forum like this, there is a great opportunity to make
a difference. So I want to pump up the promotion for the show. If
you have a website or a blog, please do me a small favor. Add the
following link to your website and ask others to do the same

  <a href="http: //www.celticmusicpodcast.com/">Irish & Celtic
  Music Podcast</a>

While the number of Celtic podcasts are growing (I invited the
Celtic Folk Music Podcast to the Celtic Podcasters Network just
this week), we still have a long way to go. I currently have
over 3,000 regular subscribers according to feedburner. That
equates to over 13,000 downloads of each show according to libsyn.
I want to see if I can turn that 3,000 into 10,000.

Imagine for a moment opening iTunes and looking at the Music
Podcast Top 100 and seeing the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast at #1.
#1 over NPR's All Songs Considered. #1 over MTV News or eve iTunes
News Music Podcast. We can make the podcasting world take a second
glance at Irish music that it won't soon forget.

So please take a moment to Subscribe to the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast
http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=77407482&s=1434\

Oh! And if you aren't subscribed to my Pub Songs Podcast, I restarted it.
It's format has changed into my own personal podcast. But in every show
you will hear a good pub song with which you can sing-a-long.

Many thanks for your continue support of the Celtic MP3s Music
Magazine and Celtic music in general. Slainte!
- Marc Gunn, Bard

CELTIC MUSIC NEWS
=========================

Greetings Celtic Music Lovers,

Last week, I was perusing iTunes when I saw that the Irish & Celtic
Music Podcast was the #26 most-popular music podcast there. I was a
bit blown away. That is just amazing. And it makes my heart smile.
This was just after I released my feature on Celtic Women. The women
featured are almost entirely independent.

I face a difficult challenge as a writer. My goal is to promote
independent Celtic music, to help out those bands who don't have the
money or means to help themselves. There are a lot of great bands
signed to major labels who send me music. But they have support. They
don't need my help. It's the independents, those ladies in my Celtic
Women feature and those who we feature in the magazine, they are the
ones who need my support.

So to hear that I am making a difference, that I am reaching thousands
of people, that really makes my heart soar. If you are not currently
subscribed to the podcast, download iTunes and subscribe. That will help
Celtic music climb into the Top 25 and get even more exposure than ever.

Subscribe to the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast
http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=77407482&s=1434\
41

Remember, if you like what you hear, tell the artist, and buy a CD. That
small effort goes a long way.

Many thanks for your continue support of the Celtic MP3s Music
Magazine and Celtic music in general. Slainte!

their way to keep the Celtic music tradition alive and evolving. This
year, they have a lot of great music from Quagmyre, Barleyjuice, Coyote
Run, Greenwich Meantime, Hair of the Dog and many more. Go check out
these independent groups and show your support for the festival.

Greetings Celtic Music Lovers,

Well, things are finally settling down now that St. Patrick's Day.
It was a huge month for Celtic music, my band, and my magazine
and podcast. I received a record number of hits. In fact, the
St. Patrick's Day Podcast had over 11,000 downloads!

Now I finally finished my next big event. The 1st Annual Celtic
Music Awards. There were about 4,000 votes in this year's awards.
Admittedly, it wasn't the most-diverse competition in musical
styles. Celtic rock bands seem to understand better the need to
promote themselves. So a big congrats to all those who did just
that and reaped the rewards!

I am starting to compile more categories for the 2006 awards. If
you have a category suggestion, please make tell me. You can do
so in the Celtic Radio Forum
http://www.celticradio.net/php/forums/index.php?act=ST&f=1&t=8845

Last, I am happy to welcome Michael Madison as a new Assistant
Editor for the Celtic MP3s Music Magazine. After reading responses
from subscribers, I decided that there's still a huge demand for
this magazine. So it will continue to grow with the help of
editors. You can find additional details below.

Many thanks for your continue support of the Celtic MP3s Music
Magazine and Celtic music in general. Slainte!

Happy St Patrick's Day Celtic Music Lovers,

Whoa! I'm exhausted. For the past week, I've done a LOT of
promotion for my ezine, Song Henge, and my Irish & Celtic Music
Podcast. Plus, I did some extra shows this month in the podcast.
Now I'm just wiped. I'm ready for St. Patrick's Day to arrive
so I can celebrate my birthday, a great holiday, and relax with
a pint.

I spent today finishing up a St. Patrick's Edition of A
Brobdingnagian Minute, the podcast of the Brobdingnagian Bards.
That was heckuva lot of fun. Tomorrow, I'll try and finish up
my St. Patrick's Day edition of the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast.

But just moments ago, I FINALLY finished my annual 17 St Patrick's
Day Free Music Downloads article. I'm sure you're anxious to hear
all the great music. So go download now and have a brilliant St.
Patrick's Day.

Oh! And if you have a moment to raise a toast to my birthday,
that'd make me happy to. :)
