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

 

Aug 12, 2019

I backslided this summer when it came to social media. So in this episode, I remind myself what change I hope to create all within the context of casting out the old to change with the new.  I also share a few thoughts about this year's Gen Con and upcoming shows.

Music from Brobdingnagian Bards, Teton Skye, The Celtic Kitchen Party, The Glory Reel, Gerry O’Beirne, FinTan, Marc Gunn

We get to know the region through it's culture, history, and legends. You can join us with an auditory and visual adventure through podcasts and videos.

2020 is the Origins of Celtic Invasions. You can find out more about this exciting trip. Join the invasion at http://celticinvasion.com/
