Geek Pub Songs With Marc Gunn

This show is dedicated to the music of science fiction conventions. I have quite a lot of it. If you love cons as much as I do, I think you'll enjoy this episode of Marc Gunn radio. Over the years, I have found science fiction conventions to be my ideal musical venue. All the Rennies who are working at Renaissance festivals attend my shows. All the geeks as well as the Celts who love geeky things are there. That's why I continue to book shows at cons. Get 5 Free MP3s when at pubsong.net.

This podcast was founded not just on pub songs but Irish pub songs. I haven't played any in a while. So while searching for popular Irish pub songs, I found a nice list on Irish Central. I have recorded versions of many of these songs. So I thought I would share them in this episode along with a couple awesome song surprises from Brobdingnagian Bards, Socks in the Frying Pan and Van Morrison! Pub Talk * I want to send out a special thanks to all of my new patrons. I had a huge uptick of signups at the end of September. Because of the overwhelming response, I'm doing several Facebook Live concerts with songs picked by Patrons. The first was recorded last week. You can watch it on Facebook. The next one is on October 18th. A big thanks to our newest patrons: A.M.

Which phrase is more appealing to you? At Dragon Con, Mikey Mason and I were talking about this branding topic. He calls his music Geek Comedy Rock. I call mine Celtic Geek. We obviously prefer the term Geek music over Nerd music. But the NerdCore genre has Nerd Music taking off around the country. Would it be better to use "Nerd music"?  Whether it's called Nerd or Geek, it's all great fun. Music from Marc Gunn, Tom Smith, Rambling Sailors, Bill & Brenda Sutton, Brobdingnagian Bards, The Blibbering Humdingers, Aurelio Voltaire, Mikey Mason, Devo Spice.   Pub Talk Now September 22nd is Hobbit Day, and I'm planning a Hobbit Drinking Songs on Concert Window. It's a free concert you can watch anywhere in the world. What struck me about Hobbit Day is that September seems to be Celtic Geek month. Septmber 17th is Halfway to St. Patrick's Day. September 19th is Talk Like a Pirate Day. September 22nd is Hobbit Day. Actually September 17-24th is Tolkien Week. So there's a lot of geekiness to celebrate this month.

This month, the Pub Songs Podcast is dedicated to the dragons who deserve protection. You'll hear some music from my new CD, Pirates vs. Dragons, plus some dragons songs from Brobdingnagian Bards, Boogie Knights, Gallamor The Bard, TheLoneGunman, Tania Opland and Mike Freeman's collaboration with Anne McCaffrety, and Dan the Bard. Pub Talk Pirates vs. Dragons topped the charts, climbing as high as #9 on the Top Now charts where it stayed for most of August. The album is still on sale at savedragons.com. The Medieval Virgin Join me on Concert Window on Hobbit Day, that's Thursday, September 22, 2016. I'm doing a free internet concert. The Louisiana Renaissance Festival is my home faire. They endured two devastating floods this year. The first was called hundred year flood, happening the spring. The latest is being called a 500 year flood, because it's a near impossibility that this would happen. Nevertheless, the festival was covered in 27 feet of water. Much of the faire was submerged. There's just over two
