TRAVEL WITH CELTIC INVASION VACATIONS

Every year, I take a small group of Celtic music fans on the relaxing adventure of a lifetime. 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 us with an auditory and visual adventure through podcasts and videos.

In 2023, we’re going on a Celtic Invasion of County Mayo in Ireland. You can follow me on Instagram.com/celtfather if you want to see pictures during the event. Though I’ll also post at least once or twice on the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast Facebook page.

Learn more about the invasion at http://celticinvasion.com/
