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 it's culture, history, and legends. You can join us with an auditory and visual adventure through podcasts and videos.

2019 is the Celtic Invasion of Star Wars. 2020 is the Origins of Celtic Invasions. You can find out more about these two exciting trips. Join the invasion at http://celticinvasion.com/

Jeff wrote on YouTube: "Keep up the great work, Marc! I've been a fan of the podcast since my early childhood. I'm now 22 and your work has inspired a deep and abiding love for the Celtic side of my heritage. Nothing brings peace to my soul quite like tuning in to the beautiful music you bring to my ears."

Kerri Lyons emailed a photo on Facebook: "Thank you so much for your Podcast. It weirdly got me through some rough times over the winter on a stationary bike dealing with injury, and now is the perfect road trip music for going around the Pacific Northwest!"

Valerie Waegerle emailed a photo on Facebook: "Hi there! I am a new listener and this podcast has quickly turned into one of my favorites.

I've noticed that usually there's a theme to the podcast... Mother's Day, St Patricks, Summer Festival, etc. I was wondering if I could make a request for one week to be lullaby/nursery children's themed. I have a 2 week newborn and I'm seeking quality celtic music that would soothe him to sleep and music that would be fun children's songs to sing to him.

You've mentioned you love receiving photos so I thought a picture of him might help my cause! ?? His name is Shepherd Killian."
