This is the first time in about 2 months that Phil and I are on the show together! Woo! This week I have a nice sweet and salty blend of Irish and Scottish music old and new with a slight nutty taste of Cape Breton fiddle thrown in. Enjoy!
Join me in a musical exploratory adventure of Scottish music old and new (sprinkled with the occasional Cape Breton tune). We’re talking Alasdair Fraser, Hanneke Cassel, Croft No. 5, Session A9, Shona Mooney, Kris Drever, Beolach, Silly Wizard…Don’t know who any of these blokes are? An even greater reason to join me on this fiddling escapade…
P.S. I admit this picture has nothing to do with anything..but come on
Oh and for the ever curious:
festival = n (REL) féile (gaelic)
Why do cats and fiddles go so well together? Tune in and listen to my awesome music and hear me analyze in depth the complex relationship between the Feline and the frisky Fiddle..2-4pm. be there.
Oh my god, there’s a Julie in the studio and she has a fiddle. And I have a fiddle. And we have fiddles. And Fiddle music will be played. And there will be fire juggling. Yes indeed. ALSO, I have a brand new live album from LAU. It will be awesome. Just you wait and see. So tune in at 2 and listen to awesome fiddle music!
It’s going to be an interesting show today. I’ve decided that the first hour of the show will be nothing but Hanneke Cassel. The second half of the show will include an amusing collection of Liz Carroll, Jerry Holland and a generous helping of a band called JPP that might be new to a few listeners. And of course, there will be live fiddle music. I’ve decreed it and so it shall transpire.
Tune in from 2-4pm and celebrate Father’s Day with two hours of most excellent tuneage.
And nobody wants that.
There is guaranteed to be fiddle music. That’s about as much as can be said about this show.
Thought you could get rid of us that easily? Just because school is over with doesn’t mean we are. That’s right: FIDDLE FEILE is here for the longterm. Today is nothing by Irish goodness with the occasional Scottish reel or so to spice things up. And Yes: there will be diddling.
So when I woke up this morning-I was inspired: I want to sing today. Unfortunatley, I can’t. So, instead of torturing you with the lack of vocal abilities, I will intice you with great recordings of celtic diddling and gaelic whatnot. Sit back and relax as I mesmerize you with a great mixture of old and new gaelic singing with the fiddle not far behind. Slainte!
