About
Celtic Invasion Vacations LLC is owned and operated by Celtic American musician and podcaster me, Marc Gunn.
It all began in 2007 when I organized a vacation tour of Ireland for the Brobdingnagian Bards. I enjoyed those first two trips so much that I want to continue doing them after the band split. Instead of large groups on tour buses, though, my goal is to take small groups to various places around the world. During the day, we might see some of the local sites. And at night, the Celtic Invasion begins as we gather and sing-along to traditional Celtic songs sung by me and you.
These vacations are different from your typical break-neck, see-everything tours presented by most tour companies. They are about a personal experience. They are not about “what you can see”. They are about what you experience!
My belief is that that it is the people who you are with that ultimately make or break any vacation. There may be very little to do. The location is ultimately unimportant. It’s the opportunity to connect with other like-minded individuals in fellowship and song that sets the Celtic Invasion Vacations apart from others.
Every year, Celtic Invasion Vacations takes you to at least one Celtic country, typically Ireland, but also Scotland, Wales and Brittany. Other vacations might vary. Internationally, we may visit Italy, New Zealand, or Nova Scotia. But since it is more about the community, we may also take vacations around the United States to New Orleans, the Grand Canyon, a Florida beach, Montana mountains, or skiing in Vermont. The goal, again, is not about the where. It’s about the why and the who.
I invite you to celebrate your Celtic heritage with me, in song and in camaraderie on a Celtic Invasion Vacation.
Slainte!
Marc Gunn
