If you’re feeling a saccharine hangover from St. Valentine’s Day, Katie and Joe have the cure for you. It’s the antithesis of a St. Valentine’s love song show: every song and tune is about love gone bad. The Irish, Scottish, and U. S. traditional and old-time genres are famous for songs about unrequited love, murderous lovers, and deeply troubling and uncomfortable songs about twisted and evil love.
This week, we feature Altan; Páraic Mac Donnchadha; Breabach; Celtic Thunder; Len Graham; Iona; Planxty; Dervish; Beth Patterson; Kate Rusby; Sweeney’s Men; Joe Heaney; M McGoldrick, J McCusker, & J Doyle; Kern; and Craobh Rua.
