I have another podcast that you might enjoy. Celtfather Music & Travel is a talk podcast about... music and travel. I share thoughts about Celtic music, culture, Celtic Invasion Vacations to Ireland, Scotland, and everywhere I visit. You'll enjoy interviews and rants on topics that affect musicians.

In one of the most-recent episodes, I share the latest Celtic Christmas albums I received through this podcast. And other Celtic Christmas music news.

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 it's culture, history, and legends. You can join us with an auditory and visual adventure through podcasts and videos.

2019 is the Celtic Invasion of Star Wars. 2020 is the Origins of Celtic Invasions. You can find out more about these two exciting trips. Join the invasion at http://celticinvasion.com/
