Happy Bealtaine! The Celtic holiday of Beltane celebrates the coming of spring and summer, and Katie and Joe can finally spin up some tracks perfect for the prelude to Summer. We also revisit the playlists of the past ten shows and pick out some music that didn’t make the cut the first time around. It’s not because the tracks were sub-par; they were cut simply due to a lack of time.
This week, we play John McSherry; Pádraigín Ní Uallacháin; James Keane; Grey Larsen And Paddy League; Joe Burke, Andy Mcgann & Michael Dolan, Oisín Mac Diarmada, The Alt, Na Mooneys, Ad Vielle Que Pourra, Storvan, Ímar, FullSet, Le Vent du Nord and Screaming Orphans.
Our FairPlé score this week: 36
