40:36 - CELTIC STORIES - ATLANTA IRISH DANCE
My daughter started Irish dancing last year. She did her first Feis this month as a beginner and came in third place for Light Jig among 11 other kids. We were pretty excited.
Before the Feis, I had a LOT of questions. I was not raised on Irish dance. I really know nothing about it. So last month, I contacted Emma Burke of Atlanta Irish Dance to find out more.
Emma Burke was born in Dublin, Ireland and grew up in Atlanta. She is a former litigation attorney in the area and a classically trained flautist. Now she is co - founder of Atlanta Irish dance and is a certified Irish dance teacher and internationally certified Irish dance adjudicator, which allows her to judge Irish dance competitions world wide. During her Irish dancing career, Emma competed all over the world, winning titles throughout. Emma is also a four time Southern Region Champion, consistently placed top 5 in the North American Nationals, and competed in the World Championships of Irish dance many times where her highest placement was 13th, earning her a coveted World Medal.
I asked her to tell me more about Irish dance.
41:52 - WHAT IS IRISH DANCE?
Since I also wanted to know what to expect at a Feis, I asked Emma what a Feis is and what happens at a Burke Connolly Feis. I’ll let her tell you more about it.
45:51 - MORE ABOUT BURKE CONNOLLY FEIS
If you want to learn more about Irish dance, the instruments they play and the types of dances they do, make sure you join us on Patreon. I will release an extended version of our interview in a week or so for Song Hengers.
48:34 - Clover's Revenge "Raggle Taggle Gypsy" from Gotta Get O'Raggednized
52:29 - Sons of Malarkey "Tripping Father" from Presenting Sons of Malarkey
55:53 - Hugh Morrison "Down the Dunes" from Lift Your Head Up
59:51 - Highlander Celtic Rock Band Australia "The Craic Fiddle" from North of the Wall
1:04:19 - CLOSING
1:06:00 - Clann An Drumma "Lion Tyrant" from Order of the Stag

BUY SELCOUTH BY MARC GUNN
My latest CD features Sci F’Irish music. That means it is original songs fusing pop culture themes with Irish drinking songs. There are some traditional music on the album. But mostly, it features songwriting by Marc Gunn with guests including: Screeched Inn, The Muckers, Jamie Haeuser, Sam Gillogly, Nathan Deese, and Mikey Mason.
Selcouth means, “when everything is strange and different, yet you find it marvelous anyway.”
The album is not completely Celtic and it’s not just science fiction and fantasy. It’s a fusion of the two. It’s heartfelt and a lot of fun.
It’s now on sale in my Bandcamp store. Check out Selcouth now.

Anyway, we appreciate being included on your wonderful podcast. I listened today from Sicily where my wife and I are visiting some friends and their lovely cat, Thai. Slain"
