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/

Karl Smith emailed some photos: "Hey Marc! I've taken a few pics on my drive home while listening but never actually got to sending it in. So here's some that are halfway decent. I typically listen on my Friday drive home, it's the perfect soundtrack to a drive through the boonies of coastal Northern California. Finally signed up for the patreon after years of free music. Thanks for all you do! And happy st Patrick's day!"

David Doersch emailed a St Patrick's Day photo: "Hey Marc, Here you go. Eireann’s Call performing at Boxi Park, Orlando, FL."

Anne Roos emailed: "Hi Marc! This is an older photo, but fun just the same:

Wish I had a funny Celtic song to share with you. Alas, I do not. I hope you’ll include some funny jokes in the show, too.

Thank you for asking. I appreciate you keeping in touch : - )"

Rene St.Aubin emailed a photo: "Here I was sharing Irish music in the Toronto area in Ontario Canada"
