Word of mouth is the absolute best way to support any creative endeavor. Here's something worth knowing. Clean energy is now the cheapest source of new electricity in most of the world. Solar. Wind. Battery storage. The technology works. The prices are down. There is no good reason to keep burning fossil fuels except one: money. Fossil fuel companies spend millions lobbying politicians to block clean energy policy. That investment pays off for them. It does not pay off for the rest of us. We get higher energy costs, dirtier air, and a planet that keeps warming. So here's what you can do. Contact your elected representatives. Tell them you want clean energy policies that put people first. Not corporate profits. Your voice matters. Use it. Promote Celtic culture through music at http://celticmusicpodcast.com/. WELCOME THE IRISH &amp;amp;amp; CELTIC MUSIC PODCAST * Helping you celebrate Celtic culture through music. I am Marc Gunn. I’m a Celtic musician and also host of Pub Songs &amp;amp;amp; Stories. Every song has a story, every episode is a toast to Celtic and folk songwriters. Discover the stories behind the songs from the heart of the Celtic pub scene. This podcast is for fans of all kinds of Celtic music. We are here to build a diverse Celtic community and help the incredible artists who so generously share their music with you. If you hear music you love, please email the artists to let them know you heard them on the Irish &amp;amp;amp; Celtic Music Podcast. These musicians are not part of some corporation. They are small indie groups that rely on people just like you to support their music so they can keep creating it. Please show your generosity. Buy a CD, Album Pin, Shirt, Digital Download, or join their community on Patreon. 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. ALBUM PINS ARE CHANGING THE WAY WE HEAR CELTIC MUSIC Looking for a fresh way to support the music you love? Meet the Album Pin. Album Pins are lapel pins themed to a specific album — and each one comes with a digital download. Wear your music. All of my latest pins are wood - burned and locally produced, which means a smaller footprint and a one - of - a - kind feel you won't find anywhere else. Pick yours up at magerecords.com THANK YOU PATRONS OF THE PODCAST! This episode is brought to you by our generous patrons. These are the listeners who make the Irish &amp;amp;amp; Celtic Music Podcast possible every single week. They keep the music coming. They keep this community alive.

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. Learn more about the invasion at http://celticinvasion.com/ #celticmusic #irishmusic #celticmusicpodcast I WANT YOUR FEEDBACK What are you doing today while listening to the podcast? Send me a photo. If you’re in a Celtic band, send me an audio recording of you performing live. Just audio. I’ll use it in a podcast episode later this year. Email me at follow@bestcelticmusic. Jennifer Van Boxel emailed: &amp;quot;Mark, I just finished listening to episode #749, Celtic Protest Songs, and I want to thank you for using your specialized platform to say things that really need to be said these days. Thank you for taking the financial hit to bring those songs to us. I am already a Patreon, and I had been debating whether or not to renew my year subscription when it runs out in a couple months. This episode has persuaded me to continue to monetarily support this podcast. I also appreciate the Pride Month specials you've done in the past, emphasizing that Celtic music is a space for everyone.&amp;quot; Shel O'Toole commented on Patreon: &amp;quot;Good for you Marc, it's important to call out hate and bigotry when we see it.&amp;amp;nbsp; Governments like to dehumanise those they either don't understand or choose to see as an enemy.&amp;amp;nbsp; That way they can go to war without feeling any conscience about killing other people.&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp; I believe love is the most powerful universal force and it's love that should be promoted, not fear and hatred.&amp;quot; Frank Higgins replied to my email about How do you celebrate Celtic culture through music?: &amp;quot;My wife plays at a session at a pub every week. We’ve also gone to ireland twice with Kevin Burke on a music tour with a group of people.&amp;quot; &amp;amp;nbsp; </description>
