The songs and tunes of Scotland and Ireland have long memories when it comes to commemmorating those who fought in battles across the centuries. Katie Marie and Joe put together an hour of Celtic music recognizing those who fought in battles through the ages and those remaining at home who fear for their soldier’s safety.

The artists this week: Dermot Byrne; The Alt; Niamh Parsons; Nuala Kennedy & Mike Bryan; Goodwin and Gray; Sásta; Stray Hens; Solas; Aidan Connolly & Bryan O’Leary; Great Big Sea; Kornog; Shay Black; The Friel Sisters; Alan Reid & Rob van Sante; and Silly Wizard.
