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/

Les emailed a photo: "Hi Marc, I’ve been a faithful fan of the podcast for many years. I’ve met you at DragonCon several times. I really enjoy the show and share it with friends whenever I can. I was listening and today I decided to share where I was listening.

You see, I moved from Nashville to Prague last September to begin teaching English. I was out in the city listening and decided to share my view on the street as I was listening. Keep up the great work! Thank you for an awesome podcast."

RJ emailed: "Marc Gunn, I am an avid listener to your podcast and play them almost every night to fall asleep to. I was wondering if you had any particular songs that were adventurous or something of the sort. I play dungeons and dragons with a few close friends and some of the music out there is sub-par. I am e-mailing you to see if you know of any lesser-known artists who have something that I could use to set the scene for an adventure or quest."

Scott Selhorst emailed from Dayton, OH: "I loved your Celtic Tunes by Celtic Women for Mother's Day.  I was listening to this podcast at work.  Listening to Irish and Celtic music makes the day go much quicker.  As I listen to your podcasts, some songs and tunes usually make a really good impression on me, and I buy the song.  For this particular podcast, most of the tunes made a really good impression on me.  I bought most of them.  Some I had already owned.  Keep up the great work. I am sorry to hear about Jed Marum.  He is an artist I always enjoyed listening to since I first heard him.  I look forward to listening to your tribute to him."
