Celtfather Monthly: March 2026 (Patreon)

Greetings Gunn Runners

I'm gonna make this quicker this week since I like preserving stats. But I have a festival to prepare for and a political episode to respond to. So let's get on with it.

The first every Irish & Celtic Music PodFest is happening this Sunday, March 8 from 12-6 PM. It is FREE to attend. There's music from The Muckers, Kinnfolk, May Will Bloom (my band with my daughter), and me.

SONGWRITING

February was a rough month for songwriting. My mom came in town. Then the kids had a February break. Excuses, excuses. I'm getting back to it this week.

PUB SONGS & STORIES

I hope to start work on this St Patrick's Day episode this week.

IRISH & CELTIC MUSIC PODCAST

Last week, I published an episode where I mentioned my anger about the government's assault on American citizens. That comment prolly won't offend nearly as much as this week's episode when I share Celtic Protest songs. I already have my first Patreon cancel.

If that hasn't turned you off, then you might like to...

MAY WILL BLOOM

We recorded a new single of "I'll Tell My Ma". I can't wait for you to hear how much she has improved vocally. We're performing this Sunday at the Irish & Celtic Music PodFest and Arts Market. Hope you can join us!

Follow May Will Bloom.

Here's a complete list of What I'm Doing Now.
