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.

Kate Maver emailed a photo: "I am moving in the middle of all this pandemic craziness. So, I turn on your podcast while I’m packing, and listen to one episode after another. I’ve spent a lot of time in Ireland and Scotland, and your podcast brings me right back to Doolin, and Galway, and Glasgow and Edinburgh! So relaxing! Thanks for keeping me company."
Jesse Bethea emailed: "Hi Marc, I'm so thankful for the Irish and Celtic Music Podcast. I'm struggling to write and revise my first novel, and the music you choose for this podcast always helps me with my work. Thank you and sláinte."
Fabio Fiorelli emailed: "Dear Mark,I just listened to your podcast about Celtic groups in Italy. I have been living in the UK for 11 years by now, but Florence is my hometown, and there is a great group from there I used to listen to when I was still living with my parents.
They are called Whisky Trail, they play both traditional songs and tradition-inspired new ones, and have been active for over 30 years! One of them is a historian, and he popularized the history of San Frediano, one of the most important patron saints of the city, who turned out to have been Irish (his name was Frigidianus, something related to the fact that he came from a cold country, more info here) and who is well known across Tuscany as well.
Unfortunately their website is not well updated, so I don't know if their email is still active, but I know the group definitely is (they have played several concerts in 2019) and I wish to honor their love for irish and celtic music. I will suggest them to contact you, but if you want to do it personally they have an active facebook page with the same name."
