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 ma'am 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. Sign up to the mailing list at http://celticinvasion.com

Gabriel emailed a photo: "I am Gabriel Alvarez, I come from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and I like to listen to the podcast while driving my car. (pic attached) Congratulations for the good work! One thing important to point out is that your radio invests both in traditional celtic and pop celtic, with space for all kind of genres whithin the celtic spirit. All the best, Gabriel."
