Show 118 – Summer Nights and Fathers Day
(2020-06-27)

posted in: Past Shows

Oops…last week was the Summer Solstice and Fathers’ Day, which we ignored in favor of playing a bunch of newly-received tracks instead. This week, we make up for it with a show where we alternate between summer songs and father songs…and it came out just right. We also feature the title track from John Doyle’s new release, “The Path of Stones.”

This week, we play tracks from Dervish, Gerry O’Connor, Jason O’Rourke & Ruadhrai O’Kane, Alan Reid & Rachel Conlon, Altan, Mick O’Brien & Caoimhín Ó Raghallaigh, Dave Sheridan & Seán Smythe with Paul Meehan, John Doyle, Providence, Siobhan And Murty, Steph Geremia, Zoë Conway, and Lúnasa.

This show’s FairPlé Score: 46
