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

 

Apr 15, 2018

I have a new album up on Kickstarter. It's Sea Shanties for Cat Lovers. I have an extremely ambitious goal. So I need your support and I need your help sharing the project. You'll find a link in the shownotes.

For that reason, today's Geek Pub Songs is dedicated to funny cat songs. With two albums of Irish Drinkings for Cat Lovers, I have quite a few cat songs. But I also found a few funny cat songs by other artists.

This week in the Geek Pub, you'll enjoy music from Marc Gunn, Jamie Anderson, Ed Miller, Sarah Donner.

If you enjoy this show, LIKE it, SHARE it, post in the comments, or tell a friend. Then subscribe to the podcast and my mailing list at http://pubsong.net/

PUB TALK

I released three episodes of Celtfather Music & Travel last month. You can hear how my Firefly Drinking Songs came to be, learn ten fun St Patrick's Day facts, and hear the story behind "The Long Arm".

The next CeltfatherLive concert is scheduled for Sunday, April 15 at 8 PM CST. Register at Celtfather.com/watch to join me for this free concert on YouTube.

My old band, the Brobdingnagian Bards, launched our own Nagians Only Club on Patreon last month. As a result, we have started working on new music together. We released our first single at the end of March. And have more planned And of course, the Bards' patrons will get those tracks first.

I have a brand new single that should be out very soon. It's called "Why Do You Torture Me?" And it's all about people requesting old songs that I no longer remember the lyrics to. The single will come out next month. But it'll be available to my patrons very soon.

If you love my music, please follow me on Spotify. Add my songs to your playlist. If you're looking for a great playlist to get started with, check out Top Irish & Celtic Music of the Week.

I know some musicians complain about how Spotify doesn't pay, but ye know what, streaming music is the future of the music industry. Yes, I would LOVE for you to buy my music too. But I'm honored that you would stream my music on Spotify as well. Please add it to your Spotify library and playlists. Spotify is great for sharing.

March is over. So As Long As I'm Flyin', my new album of Firefly drinking songs is no longer available as a CD... or is it? I have left ONE way open for you to buy the album, that is through the Deluxe Package. Check out my Bandcamp page. You can get a Songbook, T-Shirt, tote bag AND a physical copy of the CD while they last.
