CMP SP19 - Damh the Bard Interview

This is our frst interview and we are lucky to be able to interview the famous Celtic Folk musician, Damh the Bard, and his partner, the multi-talented Artist Cerri Lee. Links to their websites and their work can be found in the Show-notes. We also bring you an amazing competition for Damh's latest album, Tales from the Cowman as well as some astounding news about the revival of a national tradition in Ireland - the Festival of the Fires taking place on Beltane.

CMP SP17b - Spring Holiday 2010 Part 2

This is the second half of our Spring Seasonal Special. You can hear the second half of our epic 18th century tale from Scotland - the Wife or the Wuddy, four great pieces of music, a listener poem and a truly informative piece from the book, The Isles of Many Gods by David Rankine and Sorita D'Este.

CMP SP18 - The St Paddy's Day Special

Let's celebrate St. Patrick's Day with a short collection of poems (not recipes!) and all of our good wishes for the Next Year. We do so with a very small celebration for St Patrick's Day on March 17th. We bring you three poems that are typically Irish - they deal with Harps, Shamrocks and St. Patrick's Birthday! Then we head off to the pub for some of the black stuff!

CMP SP17a - Spring Holiday 2010 Part 1

This is the first time that we've released a seasonal Holiday Show rather than a Festival Holiday Show. The plan is to try and get a Holiday show out for the four seasons until Gary is well enough to get back to the Festivals. We've got an epic 18th century tale from Scotland that has had to be split into two parts - so you're going to get two shows for the price of one - so to speak! There are three amazing pieces of music and the beginning of a small series about the Fey in the Celtic countries based on the work of W Y Evans-Wentz in Fairy-Faith in the Celtic Countries. Look out for part two of the story coming out very soon!

CMP SP16 - The Interim Show

This is a special explanatory show that we released to let all of our listeners know why we are having the delays in our release schedule. We wanted to let you know the Show is not dead, we're probably going to be very irregular over the next year and that we really appreciate the fantastic support you guys have showed us. We also include a poem for you by the amazing poet, John Keats.

CMP SP15 - Samhain 2009

This is the Samhain Holiday Special featuring 6 wonderful pieces of music, a fantastic section of the Celtic novel for Young Adults, "Rowan of the Wood" and an in-depth study on the Celtic Hag Goddess, the Cailleach. We are also very proud to bring you a world exclusive preview of a track from Damh the Bard's new album, Tales From The Crowman.

CMP SP14 - Autumn Equinox 2009

This is the Autumn Equinox Holiday Special, and we're also bringing you (in association with Druidcast and Damh the Bard), a special Lecture by Prof. Dr. Roland Rotherham on "The Ladies of the Grail". Dr Rotherham is an acknowledged expert and scholar in the legends of King Arthur and the Holy Grail. In this wonderful talk he revels how the ladies of the Grail have considerably more importance in the legends than the Knights themselves! Not a talk to be missed!

In typical Celtic fashion, he explains how the Grail is one of *three* items of great importance and reveals that the origins of the Grail Legends may be a lot older than previously thought. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable but also an extremely entertaining lecturer.

We round off the show with three pieces of Arthurian music and gratefully pass our thanks on to Damh and Dr. Rotherham for their respective permissions to use this material. We hope you enjoy this treat as much as we did!

CMP SP13 - Lughnasadh 2009

We've been away for nearly 6 weeks now. Unbelievably, with all of the ups and downs that life throws at you, we're still here! We're back - and to make up for our absence we bring you the biggest Celtic Myth Podshow Special ever - again!! It's just over an hour and a half long! If you like to listen to the show while commuting, it might be an idea to split it up into two halves. If you stop just after our visit to see Duncan, you'll be all set for the story in the last half. :) The Lughnasadh show has six wonderful pieces of music, a dreamy story, a poem and a beautifully sung version of that poem. We've also got a section about the festival of Lughnasadh from The Religion of the Ancient Celts by J A McCulloch.

CMP SP13 - Announcement

A brief announcement about our hiatus.

CMP 029 - There and Back Again

This is the third and final part in the Saga of Manannan which contains two stories. The first, the Tale of Laogaire, tells of a visit of a great warrior to the Realm of the Undying who given the chance refuses to return to Erin. The second tale, the Tale of Tadg and the Three Duns or Castles tells the tale of the voyage of Tadg amongst Manannan's Islands and his encounter with the three great Halls in the Many-Coloured Land. This is also the last episode in the Irish Mythological Cycle and the tale of Tadg rounds off the tale by returning our vision back to Four Islands in the Otherworld, perhaps the very same islands from which the Tuatha De Danaan came from to settle the land of Erin.

CMP 028 - The Realm of the Ever-Living

This collection of four tales forms the middle section of the Saga of Manannan. Here we learn more of the nature of the Realm of the Ever-Living - Manannan's Kingdom - The Many-Coloured Land. Mortals may venture there (when given guidance) or be summoned there by the Sidhe but whether they return or not remains a mystery..

CMP SP12 - Midsummer 2009

Well, it's Midsummer. Or actually, just after Midsummer and it has been absolutely swelteringly hot here. Absolutely glorious weather! If the weather is like this for you, I recommend a nice, long, cool drink, an comfy chair, headphones and settling down for a Monster of a Show! We've got six great pieces of music for you, some chat about the Festival of Midsummer, a really exciting section from Rhonda Carpenter's Celtic novel, The Mark of a Druid and some listener contributions to bring you - a poem and a beautiful story.Oh, and don't forget our regular trip to the highlands to meet up with old Duncan in another trip to the Dragon's Head for a story from our resident Scottish Shannachie. Don't blame us if the world misses you for an hour and a half while you get into some serious fun! :)

CMP 027 - The Raggedy Man

This tale is the first part of three in the Saga of Manannan. We hear many of the short exploits of the Sea God and he decides to visits the Nobles of Erin in the guise of a rogueish tramp. Are they ready for the wiles of Manannan?

CMP 026 - Blood And Fire

In this tale we hear about the old Shannachie, Laoidheach, who visits a clan to bring them news. He is encouraged by a lively young woman to tell tales of the Old Gods. So he tells her all he knows of the Morrighan and takes her on a Vision Journey. Afterwards, she asks him to teach her the Lay of Brighid.

CMP SP11 - Beltane 2009

It's Beltane and we all love Beltane, don't we? We go wild in this show with not four, but five great pieces of music, a fascinating question and answer session about Beltane, another trip to the Dragon's Head for a story from our resident Scottish Shannachie and an excerpt from Arlene Radasky's superb Celtic novel, The Fox. This is not an episode to be missed :)

CMP 025 - The Many Lives of Aengus Og

In this tale we hear about the visits and adventures of Aengus Og to the Emerald Isle of Erin in later years.

CMP 024 - The Red Man of All Knowledge

In this tale we hear about the arrival of the Elder Gods and learn more about the Mighty Dagda. In the time when the Dagda held court at the Brugh na Boinne, Corgenn the King of Connachta comes to visit and Aedh, the son of the Dagda makes a pass at his wife...

CMP SP10 - Spring Equinox 2009

Celebrating the Spring, we bring you a very moving story by Willie Meikle, a wonderful piece from Horns of Power and four great pieces of music. In addition there is a very powerful Irish poem and we take another visit to The Dragon's Head deep in the Highlands to visit Duncan, the old Scottish Shannachie.

CMP 023 - Gifts of the Gods

In this tale, the mighty Bodb Dearg brings three Princes to the House of Angus Og in the Brugh na Boinne. The Kings of the Tuatha De Danaan make an important decision.

CMP 022b - Subscriber Gift: Reflections

Available to subscribers and feed readers only, in this special episode we reflect on the past year and play three tracks by Ceilli Moss from their album On The Shore, which is a compilation from their three published albums and available at Jamendo, http://www.jamendo.com/en/album/21299.

Comment by Mike Domeck on May 28, 2009 at 2:06pm: Fanastic. You have once again outdone yourself.

Comment by Mike Domeck on May 28, 2009 at 2:08pm: With your permission I'll send traffic here, from my Celtic Culture site, as soon as I can write the page and upload it.

Comment by Celtic Networks on May 28, 2009 at 3:58pm: Thank you for the wonderful comments. The credit for the actual show is not mine however. There are some great people behind the show who have made this whole group possible.

Mike, and anyone else, you have permission to send traffic here. I'm working on having a button created for the group. Got some pretty cool ideas.

Comment by Mike Domeck on May 28, 2009 at 4:53pm: Let me know when you get the button done. I am currently doing a total re-write of Celtic Culture along with a MAJOR change in the website overall performance, graphics and look/feel.

Comment by Brenda D. Baker on June 10, 2009 at 9:19pm: So glad you joined. I feel a little awkward about the idea I used influence to get you here.

I just referenced often being inspired and doing art while listening to your wonderful show. Then I realized not everyone may have discovered you and well if they mentioned it in the article- People should be able to find you here! :D My eldest really liked the last episode, as he is learning a new instrument right now.

Comment by The Celtic Myth Podshow on June 16, 2009 at 4:16am: Hello Brenda,
Please don't worry the CFN is certainly something we are happy to be a part of, and we are extremely pleased you invited us :)

It's humbling to know that the stories often help to inspire so many artists and authors, it was something we hadn't foreseen when we started the podcast, and it is a wonderful surprise. We can only hope the positive influence of these tales continues :)

It's great that your son enjoyed the last show too. We are working on a new show at the moment so we hope he will enjoy this one as much as the last :)

We look forward to adding your artwork to the image Galleries on our website :)

Our very warmest regards

Ruthie & Gary x
