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. Learn more about the
invasion at http://celticinvasion.com/

Anthony Young emailed: "Marc, Thanks for the lovely e-mails. I’ve been listening to your podcast for a couple weeks now, and I’m loving it! Also, thanks for the mp3s, they downloaded perfectly!
I honestly don’t know that many Celtic music artists. That’s the main reason I subscribed to the podcast, to find more artists. I do enjoy Celtic music, but don’t know too much about it. From what I’ve heard so far, your podcasts are super informative, and I love getting to hear all this music! If I had to choose a Celtic artist, I’d probably say either Celtic Woman or Loreena McKennitt, though I’m not sure if the latter is technically considered Celtic. Either way, this podcast is a great way to expand my growing interest in the music of Ireland. Thank you for giving me this opportunity! Sláinte!"
David Strei emailed photos: "Marc, Been listening to your podcast since it started. Some of my favorite artists include the Gothard Sisters, Celtic Squall, the Rogues, and a lot of your music. Today I’m carving spoons while listening to your podcast. Attached is a picture of a spoon in progress and several that are complete."
Senachie Cummings emailed a photo: "Hi Marc, I am a patron and have been a devoted fan for many years. Currently, I mostly listen to your podcast while I am doing cooking projects. I usually prepare some food items to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, but did not this year due to the novel coronavirus, so here is a photo of the dessert that I served for St. Patrick’s Day in 2019. It is supposed to look like pints of Guinness but is actually Guinness Chocolate Cake with Baileys Cream Cheese Frosting. I baked the cake directly in the pint glasses. Thanks again for all your efforts. Keep up the great work and stay safe!"
