Colm’s Celtic Tour 2017

Hey guys!! Really, really excited to announce this BRAND NEW feature, Colm’s Celtic Tour 2017 which I’ve never done before. This October, instead of travelling out to you, I will be hosting a tour for you guys to JOIN ME here in both Ireland and Scotland!!! This tour will feature some of my favourite places to see, friends I have in both my home countries, musical performances by myself and Laura, the Habemus Chamber Choir, Ceilidh in Glasgow and much more surprises on this one-off experience...

#ColmsCelticTour2017 is hosted by CKonLine Teaching, my online teaching website. All participants of the trip will receive links for FREE classes in the run-up to the tour, whereby I will be teaching you all online about some amazing sights in Ireland and Scotland, wrapping up with the tour of coming here to see them in person!!
