Cats. Irish music. Drinking songs. Nowhere else but from the bright imagination of MARC GUNN would those three elements be so neatly integrated. Yet Gunn, sometimes called - the hardest working man in Celtic music - around his hometown in Austin, is an accomplished musician and entrepreneur who not long ago headlined at the Oscar party for Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King with the Brobdingnagian Bards, a musical comedy duo who perform at Renaissance festivals nationwide. Marc plays the autoharp and publishes the Celtic MP3s Music Magazine and music marketing ezine for musicians. In addition to the Irish and Celtic Music Podcast, he hosts four other podcast including the Renaissance Festival Podcast.

Twice-monthly Celtic and Irish music by the best independent Celtic music groups. Irish drinking songs, Scottish folk songs, bagpipes, music from Ireland, Scotland, Brittany, Wales, Nova Scotia, Galacia, Australia and the United States. Hosted by Marc Gunn, Acoustic Celtic Folk Musician
