Show 105 – Women All-Ireland Winners
(2020-03-28)

posted in: Past Shows

Women’s History Month is drawing to a close, so we took the opportunity for one more show featuring women artists of Irish and Celtic music. What’s special about today’s show is that most of these artists were All-Ireland champions in their chosen instrument at the Comhaltas Fleadh. We do sneak in a couple of phenomenal musicians who have not won an All-Ireland title, but they don’t have to.

This week, we feature the following powerful women: Louise Mulcahy, Liz Carroll & Jake Charron, Liz & Yvonne Kane, Eimear Arkins, Zoë Conway, Natalie MacMaster, Ursula Byrne, Gráinne Hambly, Mary Bergin, Joanie Madden, Mary Dillon of Déanta, Niamh Parsons & Graham Dunne, and Nuala Hehir with Aoibheann & Pamela Queally.

Our FairPlé score this week: 100
