What Is Celtic Christmas Music?

What Is Celtic Christmas Music?

Author: Marc Gunn, The Celtfather November 25, 2015 Duration: 10:30

With Christmas just around the corner, I thought I'd share my views on What is Celtic Christmas music as I wrote last year. I confess I'm kinda picky about it.

However, my views have defined what kind of music is played in my Celtic Christmas Podcast too. I hope to help you find better Celtic Christmas music this holiday season.

Make sure you check out my two Celtic Christmas albums:

A Celtic Christmas is a compilation of Christmas music by Celtic musicians featured in the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast. I believe this album beautifully captures the true spirit of Celtic Christmas.

Celtic Christmas Greetings is my solo album of Celtic Christmas music featuring some new and original Christmas songs with a truly Celtic music feel. Let me albums sweep you away.

Join musician and storyteller Marc Gunn, known to many as The Celtfather, as he extends the journey beyond his popular music show. This companion Travel Ireland, Scotland and Beyond with Celtic Invasion Vacations podcast is an audio postcard from the road, directly from the small-group tours he leads annually. Rather than a checklist of tourist sites, each episode immerses you in the texture of a place. You’ll hear from local guides sharing histories you won’t find in textbooks, catch snippets of spontaneous music sessions in a cozy pub, and listen to travelers’ reflections as they connect with a landscape steeped in legend. The recordings are intimate and immediate, capturing the crackle of a peat fire, the rhythm of a weaving loom, or the wind across a remote headland. It’s about depth over distance, offering a sense of what it truly feels like to wander these regions with someone who knows their soul. Through this podcast, Marc provides a genuine auditory layer to the travel experience-a blend of personal narrative, casual interview, and ambient sound that makes each destination feel vividly alive. It’s for anyone who dreams of a more meaningful connection with Celtic lands, whether they’re planning their own invasion or simply wishing to escape from their armchair.
