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.

5:22 - STORIES FROM THE ROAD: “Just A Hero”

Someone once said that we are all heroes of our own stories. It’s true. Even if some people forget it or don’t feel like it. You don’t need someone else to be your symbol of strength. You are a hero.

Yet too often selfish people try to steal your power to make them feel strong. Just like they do in Jaynestown on Firefly. So this song is about reclaiming your heroism from the rich who deceive and exploit you.

-- In the ‘Verse Podcast: About Jaynestown

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. You have just a few more days to save on this year’s. You can find out more about this exciting trip. Join the invasion at http://celticinvasion.com/

If you enjoy the music in this show, support the artists. Buy their music and merch. Follow them on Spotify. Let them know how much you love what they are doing. And tell a friend.
