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.

Cheryl Arvio emailed some photos from Milwaukee Irish Fest: "Hi Marc, Here are some photos from Milwaukee Irish Fest.

First is Talisk (sorry for the poor quality, my phone doesn't like to take photos in the dark), then Lunasa, the Finns and finally a concertina circle with Mary Macnamara, Lexie Boatright who also plays with the Consequences, and Mohsen Amini of Talisk, accompanied on guitar by Charlie Galloway, also of Talisk.

Maybe someday you'll make it there!"
