This week, Katie and Joe pay homage to the U.S. holiday, Veteran’s Day, by playing songs and tunes about the young men who went off to war as soldiers and sailors, as well as about those left behind. Since the lands of Ireland and Scotland had been involved in wars for centuries, there are an overwhelming number of songs to choose from, so Katie and Joe focused mostly on the recruiting and conscripting.This week, we play The Fire, Andy M. Stewart, Kathryn Tickell, Planxty, Great Big Sea, Molly’s Revenge, Shay Black, Charlie Piggott & Gerry Harrington, Goodwin and Gray, Usher’s Island, Celia Ramsay, Arcanadh, and Guichen
