March 1st marks St. David’s Day, the celebration of the patron saint of Wales. Katie and Joe mark the occasion by playing songs and tunes by Welsh artists. Welsh music is famous for grand choral arrangements sung in fabulous harmonies, but we focus on the folk music in this episode. We feature songs with beautiful harmonies, but there are more than enough jigs and reels to keep your feet dancing.
This week we play tracks from: Ar Log, Plethyn, Bodega, Pigyn Clust, Open The Door For Three, Calan, Cilmeri, Mynediad Am Ddim, Navan, Pennoù Skoulm, 4 Yn Y Bar, Hwntws, Saith Rhyfeddod, and Gwerinos
