Things to Do on a Celtic Invasion of Brittany? #220

Things to Do on a Celtic Invasion of Brittany? #220

Author: Marc Gunn, The Celtfather May 16, 2017 Duration: 23:46

I realized I hadn't shared the latest itinerary for the Celtic Invasion of Brittany. How else am I gonna make you jealous and long to join me on one of my Celtic Invasion Vacations if I don't talk more about it? So you will hear about some of the oldest and most-condensed standing stones in the world in Carnac, Brittany. Plus, we'll explore the Broceliande and Arthurian legend as well as other great legends and history from Brittany. It's gonna be an exciting trip. Look for more podcasts and videos in the weeks to come.

Celtfather Music & Travel News

I had a great turnout at the earlier hours of Johnnie MacCracken's Celtic Pub. I plan to talk to the pub owner see if I can keep those hours in the future.

There are just 3 days Left on Kickstarter for As Long As I'm Flyin', my Browncoat album. We're $984 away from 3rd stretch goal. Please keep telling folks about it.

My new Video Strategy is working well. I release new music videos weekly and other videos more frequently as well. My latest video, "Wear the Brown with Pride" is from my upcoming album and was recorded live in the studio.

The final migration of MarcGunn.com takes place this week. Look for downtime on the website.

Don't Go Drinking With Hobbits - How Did It Do?

Did you notice I rebranded this podcast title...again? It's now called "Celtfather Music & Travel". That's the name and what it will be about.

I'm brainstorming additional trips to exotic locations, maybe even a music retreat. But I could use your feedback. What would excite you in a retreat to Venice? Or Dingle? Would you like to learn some session tunes? Maybe learn some Irish songs? Learn to play the autoharp? Or perhaps you'd like to play D&D? LOL. All in an exotic location with good food, good drink and good company.

Join musician and storyteller Marc Gunn, known to many as The Celtfather, as he extends the journey beyond his popular music show. This companion Travel Ireland, Scotland and Beyond with Celtic Invasion Vacations podcast is an audio postcard from the road, directly from the small-group tours he leads annually. Rather than a checklist of tourist sites, each episode immerses you in the texture of a place. You’ll hear from local guides sharing histories you won’t find in textbooks, catch snippets of spontaneous music sessions in a cozy pub, and listen to travelers’ reflections as they connect with a landscape steeped in legend. The recordings are intimate and immediate, capturing the crackle of a peat fire, the rhythm of a weaving loom, or the wind across a remote headland. It’s about depth over distance, offering a sense of what it truly feels like to wander these regions with someone who knows their soul. Through this podcast, Marc provides a genuine auditory layer to the travel experience-a blend of personal narrative, casual interview, and ambient sound that makes each destination feel vividly alive. It’s for anyone who dreams of a more meaningful connection with Celtic lands, whether they’re planning their own invasion or simply wishing to escape from their armchair.
