Any ideas what I may be doing wrong? Thanks again for an awesome podcast!" Darren Mahoney commented on a Patreon post: "Would like to see more west coast Irish music content. Sean Daly (Shams), Stout pounders, Coming up three’s, Stark raving plaid, Whiskeydicks we have some great acts out here! 😁" Charlie O'Brien emailed: "Hey Marc, My name is Charlie O'Brien, I'm a folk singer from Killarney. For the past two years I've been in Argentina researching and singing Irish trad songs printed in a rural paper in Buenos Aires in the late 1800's. Last month I released an album of these ballads "The Trackless Wild, Irish Song of the Pampa" during a Culture Ireland sponsored tour of Argentina with trad. fiddle player Aidan Connolly. Here's a download link for the album, would be great if ye could give a song or two a spin on your podcast. I think you played songs from a previous album of mine "Hy Brasil" a few years back.  beir bua,"

There’s a link in the shownotes or go to marcgunn.net Click to see more pictures from Scotland Mindy from River Drivers emailed a correction: "Hi Marc, We wanted to thank you for including our music on both the Friel Sisters podcast and Cherish the Ladies. We love both of these groups! We really appreciate it! You have actually been playing our music since our first album in 2015 and we are very grateful Just noticed though that in both of these latest podcasts, you are linking to the wrong band. Our website is www.TheRiverDrivers.com Thanks again for all you do for the music!" Please send corrections. River G. emailed an Android podcatcher recommendation: "Marc, Just a quick recommendation of another great podcast app on Android. It's called AntennaPod and is truly free. I attached a screenshot so people know what the icon looks like. (It may also be on IOS, but I'm not sure.) Shel O'Toole emailed: "Hi Marc, I usually listen to your show when I’m working from home but podcast # 681 Lady of the House I saved for my drive back home from a visit to my sister. Listening to the music brought memories of my father who played numerous instruments,  solo and with others.  The banjo was my favourite (which Is probably why I play banjo), followed by the  accordion, he had both button and piano accordions, and the fiddle. He also played harmonica, piano and even the gum leaf (definitely an Australian thing). I took my father’s violin which I had restored recently so my sister could see it for herself.  It was in a terrible state when it came to me but its voice is restored and it’s very pleasant.  Now the challenge of learning to play. I look forward to the podcast every week, so thanks Marc for all you do and for the magic you create in weaving together the music of Ireland and the music influenced by Ireland and the stories of the people who are touched by the force of the Celts. Warm regards"
