Today's show is brought to you by Celtic Invasion Vacations

If you are listening to this podcast then you probably dream of traveling to one of the Celtic nations. So I have one piece of advice. Do it! I'm not saying you should join me on one of my Celtic Invasion Vacations. I'm not saying you should join another tour group. But travel. Go. Right now.

Mark Twain wrote: “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.”

Traveling will change your life for the better forever. Stop waiting for the “right moment”. Start planning now.

If you enjoy my music, then join me on a Celtic Invasion of another Celtic country. In 2016, we're going to Cornwall in search of Celtic culture, King Arthur and the Holy Grail. Will you join us? Subscribe to the mailing list and join the invasion at CelticInvasion.com

  1. I enjoyed hearing Sios Dhan An Abhainn on this podcast. I had heard it, sung in English by a youth choir before, but this is so rich in harmony and in Scottish that I had to play it through several times. Your valiant attempt at Scottish pronunciation didn’t go unnoticed, either. Try saying, “Sheess gun an Owing” and that will be closer. It’s as close as I can spell Scottish in Engligh, anyway.

    All the best,
    Liam

  2. As a father of two girls my self and a new grandfather I understand your timing issues, but there is no time like the time you have now. I enjoy my time listening to your podcasts, I cannot describe how your Shows have broaden my appreciation for the Celtic sounds thanks again for your hard work and do enjoy the time you have now .
