0:14 - Marc Gunn “By Amazing Grace” from Come Adventure With Me

4:22 - WELCOME TO PUB SONGS & STORIES

I am Marc Gunn. I’m a Celtic folk musician and podcaster living in Atlanta, Georgia. This podcast is primarily for fans of my music in particular and Celtic music, in general. That’s because I highlight some of the artists I feature on my other podcast the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast.

But today, we’re doing a little bit of traveling to the Isle of Man. I traveled to the Isle of Man this summer as part of my Celtic Invasion Vacations. I learned a LOT about the island, its Celtic and Norse history, and I came up with a list of 17 things you can do on your own trip to this delightful Celtic nation.
