Every so often, Katie Marie and Joe forego the weekly theme and just play an hour of trad music that happened to grab us and deserved to be shared. We already have some new releases that we’ve picked up since the start of 2025, and we’ll be serving them up to you.
The artists this week: Winifred Horan, John Williams, Katie Grennan, & Utsav Lal; Eabhal; The Shee; Elaine Reilly; Carlos Sweeney & McCartin; Seán McKeon & Liam O’Connor; Macdara Ó Faoláin; Grosse Isle; Bobby Gardiner with Jack Talty; Padraig Rynne; Poitín & Neige Pruvost; Pennoù Skoulm; Kornog; and The Friel Sisters.
Our FairPlé score this week: 43
