Celtfather Monthly for November (Patreon)

Greetings Gunn Runners and Happy Halloween

You are awesome. So I have a lot of great free entertainment for you this month, including podcasts and videos. I have an incredible CD sale that you don't want to miss to thank you for your kindness. And I have a few shows I hope you will attend. 

Kilted Kings return to the Louisiana Renaissance Festival in Hammond, LA for a limited run. We're there just two weekends, the first one, Nov 4-5 and right after Thanksgiving, Nov 24-26.

As Long As I'm Flyin', my new Firefly Drinking Songs album is done. Pre-release patrons on Kickstarter and Patreon will receive their albums in the weeks to come. The album will be officially released on March 6, 2018.

I've been debating whether to release a physical CD. I've decided on a limited run release. Meaning, the physical CD will be available throughout March when it comes out. After that, it will be available as a limited release a few times per year.

Celtfather Music & Travel podcast will release an interview I recorded at GenCon called Comics and Kilt Blowing with Jennie Breeden, the author of The Devil's Panties comic.

The Pub Songs Podcast this month will feature songs of Friendship and Love. I may also release a live concert from Brittany. But I have a very special show I want to share first.

My next Travel Vlog will be a video from Vannes from my Celtic Invasion of Brittany. It uses the music of "Happily Ever After" from my St Patrick's Day Songs for Kids album.

I'm also thinking about releasing a weekly video performance highlighting Celtic songs. I really WANT to do that, but whether I have time, we shall see. 

WHAT SONG(S) WOULD YOU WANT TO HEAR?

I'm also planning a new single release for November of a Christmas song by Kilted Kings. It should be out later this month.

My next #CeltfatherLive show is currently planned for Thursday, November 16th. This show is another test show that will be held on Facebook. Tickets will be $15. You'll be invited into an exclusive group for the concert. Send paypal.me/celtfather/15 if you want to attend. The show will be over an hour longer and your song requests are welcome.

One of the reasons for this Facebook concert is that I am testing out some new advertising. I had some success this month with Facebook advertising. So I want to try working with that audience. I apologize to Troy and other non-Facebook patrons. But this is an important test.

I have 4 people signed up for the Celtic Invasion of the Isle of Skye. I'm aiming for 8 invaders in all. So if you want to join the invasion, you should reserve your spot ASAP!

I have several sales over on Bandcamp that you can look for this month, starting off with a Kilted For Her Pleasure Deluxe Bundle. That bundle is now on sale. You'll get the CD, T-Shirt, Digital Download, Bumper Sticker and three bonus CDs. BUY THE DELUXE BUNDLE! 

Finally, I want to thank my Patrons in the Gunn Runners Club. Patreon is not just about supporting my lifestyle as a musician, which is something I would LOVE to do. 

Some of the money you pledge pays for advertising my music, as I mentioned earlier. I have a LOT of new subscribers to my regular newsletter thanks to my Gunn Runners patrons.

But I also use it to record new music. I realized it costs me at least $400 per song to create a fully produced song with lots of instrumentation. Your kind support pays for that.

My poor man video production also costs a couple hundred dollars. I haven't even made any fully professional videos like I'd like to do. It all costs money. 

So I want to thank everyone in my Gunn Runners Club for your generosity. Thanks especially to our newest Glorious Gunn Runners: Beth Bailey and Carol Baril. I really can't begin to thank you enough for you generosity.

Join the Gunn Runners Club now! 

I hope you enjoyed this update. And I look forward to sharing a lot more music and entertainment in November.

Slainte!Marc Gunn
