The first of May is observed around the world as a day to celebrate the labor movement and the struggle of workers to better their lives. It’s also the Celtic holiday of Bealtaine, marking the start of Summer. Katie Marie and Joe did double duty by squeezing both May Day celebrations into this hour.
The artists this week: Lúnasa; Ranarim; Tom Delany; Lá Lugh; Dick Gaughan; Richard Thompson; Broom Bezzums; The Black Family; Chulrua; The House Band; Erin Ruth; Gailfean; Kevin Conneff & The Dublin Trio; and Frankie Gavin.
