It’s Samhain! In the Celtic calendar, Hallowe’en is one of the two times of year when the veil thins out between the world of the living and the spirit domain, allowing ghosts, spirits, and faeries to easily cross over into the land of the living…and vice versa. It’s a good thing that Irish and Scottish music have a rich selection of spooky, eerie, bloody, or hauntingly beautiful songs and tunes. There is a gentle trigger warning for this week’s show. Most of the songs deal in death, murders, assaults, and the supernatural. This week, Katie and Joe unearth great music from FullSet; Danu; Solas; Ann Gray; Kornog; John Roberts & Tony Barrand; M McGoldrick, J McCusker, & J Doyle; Paddy Glackin & Robbie Hannan; Planxty; Vintage Wildflowers; and Martin Carthy. This week, our FairPle score missed the mark by 4 points at 36.
