Welcome to Pub Songs & Stories, the virtual Public House for Celtic culture and change through music.

I am Marc Gunn. I play Sci F'Irish music. I want to take you on an adventure. I'll share the stories behind my songs as we explore pop culture media through the lens of Irish & Celtic music. You will have fun and sing along, and maybe get a far too real glimpse of yourself.

2024 KICKSTARTER

 

Nov 4, 2019

Is it insane to think that success is NOT a zero-sum game? Some think that the only way they can "win" is by destroying someone else. I'm gonna share why that's the lie told by cowards and failures and how you can win through generosity.

13:45 - STORIES FROM THE ROAD: Success is NOT a Zero-Sum Game

I want to encourage you to help someone else. Not just yourself. Help someone different from you.

If you enjoyed this episode of Stories from the Road, join the Gunn Runners Club on Patreon. At least once a week, I share Stories, blogs, and even new songs I’m working. You get to hear it all first.

In fact, I have a rough recording of a new song I released called “Breathing”. It was inspired by the episode “Out of Gas” from the show Firefly. And you can be the first to hear about the next album will launch on Kickstarter in 2020.

24:47 - “Buttercup’s Lament” by Marc Gunn from Soul of a Harper

28:11 - 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. In episode #191, I talk the itinerary of the 2020 Origins of Celtic Invasions. We will explore Venice, Vicenza, and Padova. We will see castles, sail rivers, explore hills and mountains, and eat amazing Italian food.

You can find out more about this exciting trip. Join the invasion at http://celticinvasion.com/
