I had such a fantastic time on my Celtic Invasion of County Mayo. I kept a personal blog on the trip that I’ll publish in the coming weeks. You can also find pictures scattered across my different profile pages. If you’re thinking of going, I think my favorite things were the cliffs on Achill Island. There were some stunning views. And my absolute favorite was Downpatrick Head. There were more stunning views, but there was a blowhole that went under the cliffs which made it interesting to see too. Next month, I’m launching a Kickstarter for the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast. I’m raising money for some album pins to promote the show. I would really LOVE your support. You can follow the Kickstarter campaign through the website. THANK YOU PATRONS OF THE PODCAST! Because of Your kind and generous support, this show comes out at least four times a month.
