It’s the first week of January, which means Winter is in full swing, and folks just might be starting to second-guess their New Year’s resolutions and awkward New Year’s Eve party flings. Katie Marie and Joe put together an hour of trad Celtic music honoring and commiserating with those who made too-fragile promises and have to endure dreary winter weather while breaking their pledges.
The artists this week: Cara; Janice Burns & Jon Doran; Allan MacDonald; Altan; Alan Kelly; Jake James & Brenda Dowling; Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh; Beth Patterson; Lúnasa; Peter Nardini; Eliot Grasso; Siobhan Miller; and Niamh Ní Charra.
Our FairPlé score this week: 57
