This week, Katie Marie and Joe put together an hour-long show featuring women artists in honor of St Brigid’s Day. It’s also Imbolc, the celebration of the promise of Spring on the Celtic calendar. We also sat down with Máiréad Nesbitt for a lovely chat about traditional music and her upcoming March release and tour.
This week, our artists are: Liz Carroll, Eddi Reader, Zoë Conway, Cathie Ryan, Kierah, The Nesbitt Family, Josephine Marsh, Cassie & Maggie, Alison Perkins & Nicolas Brown, Steph Geremia, Máiréad Nesbitt, The Kane Sisters, and Mary Rafferty.
Our FairPlé score this week: 100
Our on-air show has a version of the interview with Máiréad Nesbitt that was edited for brevity. Here is the full interview:
