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/

Tim Bailey replied on Facebook: "A thanks to Joe Deyaeghere for requesting the Elders. I somehow missed their April 2022 release of 'Well Alright Then I'm now playing that album having finished this fine episode. Cheers, Marc. Cheers, Joe."

Woodland Folk emailed a photo: “i am a fiddler now,for better,for worse,enriched with ur music,with love we travel or not at all”

Mike Nichols emailed: "Mark, Listening to the tail end of episode 575.

Thanks for an awesome way to connect. I'm in the west Texas desert but recently found out that a fair portion of my genes come from the greater Dublin and greater London areas. Also a smattering of lower Saxony .

My first knowing about Celtic music was when a highschool girlfriend and her mom took me to the Gasoline Alley pub here in town to listen to Linda Grubb's St Paddy's day show.

Let me bring the storyteller to heel, and get to my point. My proposal for the name for the instrumental segment or instrumental only shows would be.

"Celtic Reconnect"

I'm not a patron yet, but those episodes are the second reason I want to make that happen.

I have a small group of co - workers and family with whom I share individual episodes. It been a great way to keep communication open when there is nothing that "needs" to be said. Thanks."
