12:32 - STORY OF PLAYING MUSIC WITH PADDY MALONEY FOR 20 YEARS
Paddy Maloney was the co-founder of The Chieftains. They were called Ireland's Musical Ambassadors. The Irish music world mourned last October in 2021 when Paddy passed away.
I posted my own sorrows for his passing on the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast Facebook page. Jon Pilatzke responded. Jon is a fiddler and an Irish dancer. He played music with The Chieftains for 20 years. I asked him to submit music to the podcast.
I asked Jon if he might be able to share a story or two about playing music with Paddy. He humbly shared this inspiring story of a Celtic music legend.

25:48 - STORY OF QUEEN OF THE PIT
I was performing at Tucker Brewing Company at the beginning of last year, when who did I see in the audience, drinking a pint, Jeff Shaw of The Muckers.
I first connected with Jeff a number of years back when he too was living in New Orleans. We both had an early introduction to Celtic music through an album of Irish drinking songs. But it wasn't until Atlanta that I finally met him. And I was really surprised to see him in my audience.
At that time, I was trying to find artists to collaborate with on my album Selcouth. One song stood out. That was "Kilty Pleasure". I'll talk more about it in a moment. But I emailed him the next day and asked if The Muckers might be interested in collaborating. And I'm so happy they agreed.
There aren't many Celtic bands in Atlanta that are making a splash. But The Muckers, they are definitely the go to band. They sound amazing. But I'm sure it also helps that they are a Celtic Punk band. That's probably why they were on a cruise with the Celtic Punk icons, Flogging Molly, as Jeff will explain.
