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 2026, we\u2019re traveling to the Celtic nation of Galicia in Spain. We\u2019ll dive deep into the history and legends of the Galician Celts, uncovering their connections to Ireland, Scotland, and beyond. We\u2019ll walk the same lands where Celtic warriors once roamed, hear the myths passed down through generations, and experience the magic of authentic Galician Celtic music, alive with passion and history. This isn\u2019t just a trip\u2014it\u2019s a journey into the heart of a Celtic culture unlike any other. Will you join us?

Annette commented on Patreon from the Celts of Pride Month episode interview of Malin Lewis: "Thank you for the interview. I bought the album off of Bandcamp. (The best source for music that I know. )" Lyn Rzeszutek emailed some photos: "Hi, Marc, Just a quick hello from one of the many fans of your Irish & Celtic Podcast to offer my gratitude for your hard work and to share photos from my local Buffalo Irish Festival this past weekend, which featured some local favorites, McCarthyizm and Crikwater, as well as visitors from Ireland, The Henry Sisters.  I'd heard Crikwater earlier this year at a local town concert and told them I'd heard them on your show.  They were most appreciative of your featuring their music!  (And I got to show off my "reel music" podcast shirt!)  Thanks again for lifting my heart so frequently." LYN RZESZUTEK George Bauman of The Fighting Jamesons: "Hey Marc, My name is Geo and I represent and play in The Fighting Jamesons. You've had our music featured on your podcast before, so thank you for that. I am reaching out to see if you are interested in either streaming a live recording we have that we are prepping to release and or if you are interested in hosting us interview style? Let me know if either of these options interest you. Either way we will keep listening, cheers!
