TODAY'S SHOW IS BROUGHT TO YOU
BY CELTIC INVASION VACATIONS
Don't just see the world. Go on a relaxing adventure with a small group of Celtic music fans, just like you. We won't see everything. Instead, we will stay in one area. We will get to know the region through it's culture, history, and legends. You can help me decide where we should go into 2019.

Jiffy emailed a picture: "Hi Marc! I listen to current and past episodes while making art in my little studio space. Most of the things I’m painting and drawing this month will be Christmas gifts (photo below shows some work in progress). The music you play always inspires, and I’ve discovered new favorites thanks to you. I’ve even rediscovered artists I lost track of over the years. Keep up the good work! Thank you, slainté!"
Gerry Corr emailed: "I am originally from Belfast and was a Step dancer in my early youth and stopped as I did not want to wear a kilt walking down Falls Road; I went on to become an accomplished athlete in multiple sports, primarily Hurling. Actually went to school with Seamus Kennedy who you have featured on some shows.
In 1980 I moved to US and I now live in Somersworth NH, next to Dover for past 25+ years. Dover is where Tommy Makem made his home and whose family are friends of ours– people from the textile mills in Armagh were some of the founders of the City. It was here where I came back to the music and started dancing again at age of 50 and picked up a mandolin that I love to play, albeit not great, but have fun
One of my daughters is married and lives in Dartmouth Nova
Scotia and I fell in love with the NS Scottish/Irish music and song
during my visits, she is an accomplished artist and did artwork for
an album I made with a group called An Banna Ceoil several years
ago; we don’t play out anymore but are still playing “house”
music
Came across your podcast through iTunes a couple of months ago and
will now be a regular; love the live sessions from the pubs
Keep the music alive Marc, it keeps us young in mind
and heart. BTW I was able to download the Free Music – very
easy process – just have to get them onto my phone in iTunes to
carry them with me – if you have any advice on this would love to
hear it."
