Today's show is brought to you by Celtic Invasion Vacations Every year, I take Celtic music fans on an adventure of a lifetime. This is not your typical wham-bam-thank you m'aam tour. We travel in small groups. We explore the Celtic history of different regions. We don't need to see everything, because this is a vacation. Instead, our invasion brings out the relaxation and magic of our adventure. In 2018, you can join me on a Celtic Invasion of the Isle of Skye in Scotland.

Email a voicemail message to celticpodcast@gmail.com Joshua Mirgon emailed on Facebook: "Hi. Love the podcast and how you and other musicians help keep this music alive. I don't know if you are aware of the 'old time fiddlers association' Each state has their own set of chapters. And we are just a bunch of people who love to play the old tunes." Karen M Gibson posted on Facebook: "I listen to your podcasts while I'm doing housework (today it's #297 while I mop floors). They always keep me moving and before I know it, my work is done! Thanks for the great music!" Gari Glaysher posted on Facebook: "Please forgive this plug but I am proud of my Irish roots and am in the process of recording an album of Irish songs all in memory of my Grandfather (The man on the front cover of the album, in his home town Emly Co Tipperary).
