  • Look at the copyright year!?!

    Podcasting for almost 20 years. MarcGunn and his team know what they are doing. It’s Irish music. Past and present. Trad music and contemporary. There are NO wrong answers. As Bob Marley put it, “One good thing about music, when it hits you feel no pain.” Listeners only need an open mind and an appreciation for Irish music. That’s it. Thank you Marc Gunn.
