* Helping you celebrate Celtic culture through music. I am Marc Gunn.

It is here to build a diverse Celtic community and help the incredible artists who so generously share their music with you.

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.
