Washer Well Wenches, Thorin's Eulogy & Celtic Folk #315

The old songs were written for a world that was supposed to last forever. One woman found a way to make music matter right now. And Thorin Oakenshield gets a proper farewell. Music from Marc Gunn, Fialla, Liam Vincent & The Odd Foxes, Brobdingnagian Bards.

Before we get started, a quick word about Patreon.

If you're listening to this on the public feed, you're getting it a week after my patrons already heard it. Just so you know.

Those folks also get a second podcast nobody else hears. Concert bootlegs. Brand new songs I'm writing right now. And two live pub albums that flat-out don't exist anywhere else.

All that for five bucks a month. One pint.

If that sounds like your kind of thing, head to patreon.com/celtfather. There's even a free tier. You get a whole album just for showing up.

Right. On with the show.

11:14 - INTERVIEW WITH DANIELLE DUPONT OF WASHER WELL WENCHES

A couple years ago, I did an interview with Danielle DuPont, the founder of the Washer Well Wenches that you might see at a Renaissance festival near you. She invited a bunch of entertainers to perform at Women's shelter in Austin, Texas. I was so inspired by her I had to interview her.

25:12 - TODAY'S SHOW IS BROUGHT TO BY CELTIC INVASION VACATIONS

Every year, I take a small group of people on a relaxing adventure to one of the Celtic nations. We don't see everything. Instead we stay in one area. We get to know the region through its culture, history, and legends. You can join me with an auditory and visual adventure through podcasts, blogs, videos, and photos.

Sign to the Celtic Invasion Vacations mailing list at CelticInvasion.com.

Come hike with me on the Isle of Skye in 2027.
