Weeklies: Celtic Halloween Livestream with a Twist (Patreon)

Greetings Gunn Runners

Thursday, October 15 at 7:30 pm eastern is my next Livestream performance. It is the return of my Celtic Halloween concert. I started the series back in 2011. It continues to haunt you to this day. 

You’ll hear Celtic songs with a dark edge, ghost stories in song, maybe even a little horror. And you’ll definitely enjoy some comedy, as we laugh and play a Celtic Halloween Song Game. 

This is more than just ghost story songs. It’s about community. You can sing along. You can share your own ghost stories in the chat. You can shout, “you have Cddeeess” with everyone else.  You can even help decide the set list. 

And you can do it all for FREE! 

There’s no price to attend. 

In fact, if you follow me on YouTube, you will be notified when I go live. 

That said, this is how I make a living. So there is a Suggested Donation. People typically give between $15-25. 

But any amount is fine. Do whatever you are comfortable with. 

Details here

And when you make any donation, you’ll get a very special, digital concert flashback from one of my past Celtic Halloween concerts to warm you up for the show. 

 I can’t wait to see you online.

Sláinte!

Marc

PS. I have a super important question to ask you below. 

PPS. We took the kids on an incredible family vacation to the canyons for their fall break. Hope to enjoy the pictures.

QUESTION OF THE DAY

My last livestream had a lower than average turnout. Was it timing? Or did you even know it happened? That is the modern struggle—how to get the word out. You can help.

My projects and upcoming events:

BATTLE OF THE BARDS SONGS - The next Brobdingnagian Bards podcast is coming out on Wednesday. Two weeks later, we launch a new series. In the first Battle of the Bards Songs series, Andrew and I will pick the best Irish pub songs. Then we will pit them against each other to pick the most-popular pub song of all time. You can join us on the journey when you follow the Bards Patreon. 

PUB SONGS VIDEO OF THE WEEK - I’m doing a weekly Pub Songs & Stories video show for the next few weeks. Last week, I shared “Those Characters Died”. You can watch the video now and learn more about the story behind the song. A new episode comes out on Thursday. Watch now

SAMHAIN is the Celtic holiday that marks the thinning of the veil between our world and the spirit world. It’s also a time of celebration. I’m celebrating with this Internet concert. But I interviewed Louise Bichan for the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast. She thas a new Celtic Halloween album that is coming out. You can hear the interview on October 29.

There are a lot of moving parts in the music business. I pay out nearly $2000 of necessary expenses that pay for hosting, graphic design, audio engineering, the many websites that make my job easier, musical education, and lots more. It adds up.

Fortunately I have lots of folks just like you who pledge $5 or more per month to help me keep doing what I do. With Patreon and gigs, I do okay. It’s not great, but it’s okay,

October is a slow month for me financially. That’s why I’m looking for 10-20 more people who can spare a few dollars so I can keep making music.

And music is what you get! I put on livestreams. I make videos. I write, record, and share new songs. I publish podcasts every month.

This is what it takes to make a living in the modern music business.

So thank you for sharing $5 so that I can keep doing this and so much more
