Ten years ago, Sherwood Forest Faire opened their borders to allow a medieval festival to happen. In this episode, you will learn how the festival came to be. You'll meet some of the musicians who have performed there since the beginning. You'll hear their music and some of the stories I recorded at the faire. Some are about travel or women in music, hypnosis, and juggling. There's a lot to unpack. And you get 3 1/2 hours to do just that. Welcome to the Pub Songs Podcast, the Virtual Public House for Celtic culture through music. My name is Marc Gunn. I am a Celtic Geek musician and your guide to honoring our past and adapting for our future. Today’s show is brought to you by my Gunn Runners on Patreon. Your generous pledge of $5 per month allow me to create music, podcasts, and my weekly video show, Coffee with The Celtfather. Thank you! If you have comments or want to chat in the pub, email me.

Troy Rodgers emailed before my last Celtfather Evenings show: "I've got my ticket! See you there! I keep meaning to offer Pub Songs feedback. Let me do so now. I love the new format. The latest episode... How America Saved Irish Music is one of my favorites of your albums. To hear you and Jaime discuss everything that went into this, it's gold. Excellent podcast." Pamala emailed: "Marc, I fell asleep listening to #PubSongs last night. Your voice is so soothing and the music is just right so my brain settles down and sleep. I woke this morning with a smile because of you and your music being in my ears. Thank you for all you do to share this wonderful music and yourself. Blessed Be, Pamala" I want your Ireland or Celtic Travel Questions.
