An album pin is a lapel pin with artwork inspired by a specific album or song from an album. It could be the actual album artwork or it could be inspired by a specific track on the album. The best album pins stand out on their own. They appeal to more than just your fans. It is simple, bold, and visually engaging.

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. In 2026, we’re traveling to the Celtic nation of Galicia in Spain. We’ll dive deep into the history and legends of the Galician Celts, uncovering their connections to Ireland, Scotland, and beyond. We’ll walk the same lands where Celtic warriors once roamed, hear the myths passed down through generations, and experience the magic of authentic Galician Celtic music, alive with passion and history. This isn’t just a trip—it’s a journey into the heart of a Celtic culture unlike any other. Will you join us?

I’d love to see a  picture of what you're doing while listening. Is there a new Celtic CD or Celtic band that you heard of or saw? Send a picture. Email me at follow@bestcelticmusic. Ermagerd the Bard wrote about this next song: “The song is what I wrote in response to a real thing that happened to me once upon a time while being a queer medievalist on the internet. I've been involved in the SCA for a couple of decades, and am also openly genderqueer. And this one time one of my recordings was used in a podcast where the theme of the episode was my kingdom, and due to some miscommunication…. there were some misspellings of names and titles of performers and a couple of song titles were incorrect. Well somebody in our kingdom proudly posted the episode in our kingdom's facebook group and said hey, look at our bards, this is cool. And I took it upon myself to comment with a few corrections so people would know who the performers were and what those songs were, and thank the poster for being excited about it. A while back the committee within the SCA that is in charge of registering people's names and titles and such on an international level had been working on finding alternative titles for genderqueer and nonbinary type members so they wouldn't have to use titles like Lord/Lady, and this pertains to me because I'm genderqueer. So in my comment I remarked that my name would be written Ermagerd, Nobilis, and that nobilis wasn't a surname, it's a less gendery Latin form of Lord/Lady and it's the title that describes my awarded status in the SCA. Well this one particular ancient member took a huge offense to the existence of ungendered titles and people, and threw an angry rant into the comments. How dare we harsh her medieval vibe, nonbinary people aren't historically authentic, why does everybody have to shove their gayness down her throat, why can't we pretend "politics" doesn't exist when we're playing medieval dress - up, etc. etc. I never responded to her directly, but I watched as my whole kingdom rose up to defend not just me, but the historical existence of other genders of people, the importance of acceptance in a big - tent international hobby group, the importance of the SCA's core values of chivalry, honor, and courtesy, the years of dedicated research done by the names and titles committee... and all this from people located in Texas and Oklahoma. The consensus was that yes we genderqueer people are historical, there's tons of proof, and people's very lives aren't just "politics", and even if it was just some modern thing, she didn't drop rants like this against people wearing glasses and using wheelchairs and indoor plumbing, and if she wanted to call herself by her (also made - up) venerable title, she could very well try to be a good example for treating other people well. It was a wondrous thing to behold, and this conversation unfolded into hundreds of comments, largely supportive and accepting, over a couple of days of commentary…. I Walk Among You took shape in my head on the second day, and it's intensely personal. I'm real, all of us are real, we're not just citations and talking points and theory and psychology and modern trends and political correctness and wokeism, we're human beings with lives, and feelings, just like the queer people who came before us in all the cultures in all the eras throughout time. I've performed it twice, once in a tavern during my own set, to thunderous applause, and once as a guest artist in a more famous friend's concert, and again the clapping went on longer than I expected. I think people need to hear that we were always here, and I think people need to hear it in forms that touch their feelings, like storytelling and songs. It's especially important that younger queer people get to hear that they're not a fad, that we had ancestors, that we have history, that they're not alone but the inheritors of a proud tradition of sacred people surviving and thriving for centuries upon centuries. Thanks for letting me get that off my chest.”

Last month, my daughter Ziva and I left the house at 5:30AM to drive to an Irish dance competition, and we listened to your podcast on the two - hour drive. She had a great competition, earning a first place finish (in light jig) for the first time and moving up to the next level, along with second place finishes in reel and slip jig. Thanks for keeping us company on our long drive!" Troy Guinn of The Secret Commonwealth emailed: "Thanks as always for the airplay, Marc...and may I say, a lovely version of "Peggy Gordon", sir! That's always been one of my favorites, you nailed it! Best" John Sharkey White, II messaged me on Patreon: "I think I told you that I work from home, so a while ago, I started with episode 1. Amazing to see how you have blossomed into one of the best podcast hosts out there.  I'm Finally up to 2020 episodes! Had a thought.  Do you know if the people of Ireland or other celtic areas actually like and listen to the older songs, or is that just a perception American's have. ie., are the Irish really just Swifties or Sheeran devotees."

The music helps keep me in the mindset while covering up the sounds of the modern world. Once again, thank you so much for all you do. Sincerely," Fabio Fiorelli emailed: "Hi Mark!

Promote Celtic culture through music at http://celticmusicpodcast.com/. BUY SELCOUTH BY MARC GUNN My latest CD features Sci F’Irish music. That means it is original songs fusing pop culture themes with Irish drinking songs. There are some traditional music on the album. But mostly, it features songwriting by Marc Gunn with guests including: Screeched Inn, The Muckers, Jamie Haeuser, Sam Gillogly, Nathan Deese, and Mikey Mason. Selcouth means, “when everything is strange and different, yet you find it marvelous anyway.” The album is not completely Celtic and it’s not just science fiction and fantasy. It’s a fusion of the two. It’s heartfelt and a lot of fun. It’s now on sale in my Bandcamp store. Check out Selcouth now. 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.
