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/

Lauren Oxford responded to a show post on Facebook: "Hi Marc! Thank you so, so much for featuring me here, and for your kind words. I certainly don’t feel worthy being in the company of such accomplished and proficient musicians & players, but I’m honored nonetheless. 💙

So many thrilling new musical discoveries too—I can’t wait to dig into the rich backlog of episodes! This podcast is a gift, and thank you so much for everything you do to foster the Celtic community and its music!"

Chip Noland emailed a photo from Huntingtown, MD: "Hello, I really enjoyed the all instrumental episode today. The music minus the lyrics really helps me to keep focused when working outside.

You asked what we were doing while listening and I was in my garage building and finishing speaker boxes for my car stereo turned garage stereo. Almost done with the final touches and am looking forward to getting rid of the styrofoam holders.

Thanks again and keep up the great work!"

Mitchell Petersen sent a photo from a Syr Concert he saw a few weeks back.
