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.
In 2023, we’re going on a Celtic Invasion of County Mayo in Ireland. We’re gonna explore the area and get to know Grace O’Malley, the Pirate Queen. Learn more about the invasion at http://celticinvasion.com/

Jolena posted on Mastodon: “I want to tell you how much I enjoy your podcast. I've been listening for several months now and I love the music. Thanks for introducing me to some great celtic music.”
Brian McReynolds emailed some photos: “This is Brian McReynolds. What I was doing today while listening was participating in a 5k Turkey Trot. Your podcast even had me skipping along after the 2 mile mark. Here is a few photos I took during the run. ”
Shel O'Toole responded regarding music books for Celtic Guitar: “Hi Marc, Two books that were recommended are Celtic Guitar by Glen Weiser and The Irish DADGAD Guitar Book. I haven’t checked out either of them but they both seem to be widely used.
I was listening to show 581 and someone asked about books for Celtic Guitar. I’m having a catch up day, this is the third podcast for the day (I’m up to date again).
I also remembered to email one of the bands We Banjo 3 and tell them how I first heard them here and now I follow them on Soundcloud. I love their sound. The song Hummingbird is superb.
Thanks as always for your fabulous show. Is there any way I can make a one off contribution? I went to patreon but I don’t want to make a weekly subscription. I’d rather just make a one – off contribution each year. Is that possible?
Cheers Marc, have an awesome weekend.”
If you're like Shel and want to make a one – off contribution, go to https://bestcelticmusic.net/donate/. You'll also find a link to buy something in our store to get an extra bank for your donation buck.
