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. We’re gonna explore the area and get to know Grace O’Malley, the Pirate Queen. Learn more about the invasion at http://celticinvasion.com/

Paul White replied: "Hey Marc, Greetings from the South Coast of England! I tend to listen to your podcasts whilst working out on my spin bike or when out driving to do some geocaching.

What are your doing for St Patrick's Day? Got to be honest, nothing this year as my partner passed away on St David's day 😭"

David Van Horn emailed: "Marc: Usually, I am doing gardening or driving somewhere while listening. For your birthday (aka St Patrick's Day), I am cooking a brisket which I am brining myself.  It will go in an Instant Pot with cabbage and potatoes, beer and root beer, and spices.

On Friday I will listen to some favorite St Patrick's Day Irish & Celtic Music podcasts and your latest one, of course.

Glad to help by replying! Thank you for your continuing excellent podcasting!"

Kelly Frenette emailed: "Let's see.... Of course I d love a bonus episode!

What are you doing while listening? Wood turning, resin casting or driving.

What are your doing for St Patrick's Day? Hopefully going out with loved ones to celebrate.

How are you celebrating Celtic culture through music this holiday season? I'm keeping my ancestry alive and remembering the celtic history. I always have it playing in the background while I work.
