Nollaig Na mBan, “Women’s Christmas”, marks the end of the holiday season in Ireland. It’s a time when women get to go out and celebrate while men stay at home, do all the chores, and clean up after the holidays. We acknowledge that by playing music dominated by women performers; there are some men in the bands, but the women (for once) outnumber and outpower the men on every track.This week, we play music from NicGaviskey, Síle Denvir, The Friel Sisters, Ruth Keggin, Fiddlers2, Lisa O’neill, Julie Fowlis, Various Artists, The Jammy Dodgers, Niamh Dunne, Lankum, Mari Black, Fódhla, Harem Scarem, and The Poozies.Our FairPlé score this week: 100
