CELTIC CHRISTMAS PODCAST IS BACK IN A NEW FORMAT Do you like Christmas music? I also host the Celtic Christmas Podcast . The podcast has new format this year. Instead of music episodes like I do here on the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast, the show highlights a Celtic musician with Christmas music that you can buy OR Stream on our all new Celtic Christmas Playlists. The first playlist of the season is now available. It highlights Celtic Christmas Women. Most of the tracks from last year's Celtic Christmas Women episode of the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast. So it's a fantastic playlist. So if you're on Spotify, follow the link to listen . Now that said, I did republish that music podcast episode on the feed. But starting November 28, the all new show launches with a new Celtic Christmas playlist. You can help spread Celtic Christmas Cheer. Subscribe to the show at CelticChristmasPodcast.com and help me develop a brand new Christmas podcast and playlist experience! 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.

Alexander Randall 5th emailed: "Tell all your musicians, this podcast really works!! This has happened to me over and over. You play a great piece by a band I never heard of. I listen to it over and over, then research the band, find their web site and buy everything. You played a fabulous piece - Dragonfly by the Gothard Sisters. I went to their web site and bought everything. You played a fabulous piece - Argyle Lassies by Capercaille. I bought all their CD's. Bought everything. You played a fabulous piece - St Patricks March by the Bookends. Bought everything. You played a fabulous piece - Millers Maggot by the Flying Toads. Bought everything. Same for Altan, Silotar, Barrule, Bothy Band... I can't figure out your voting system, Best this year - cast a vote for the Gothard Sisters Dragonfly. On a completely different note, I heard this band at a renaissance fair playing German medieval instruments with modern arrangements. Blew me away. The band is Wolgemut . Here is a spotify playlist. Maybe for a change of pace in your podcast... You are doing great work Marc - Keep it up."
