This week, Katie and Joe reflect on the reality that holiday celebrations are going to be different in 2020. We put together a show that tips our hats to those who can’t go home for the holidays, or are avoiding big get-togethers in a desire to keep themselves and others safe.
The tracks we play this week are from: Nomos, Ed Miller, Dermot Byrne, Adam Agee & Jon Sousa, Open The Door For Three, The Kells, Tommy Martin, Beth Patterson & Patrick O’Flaherty, Lunasa, Mick Moloney & Athena Tergis, Great Big Sea, Don Stiffe, Seamus Begley & Oisin Mac Diarmada, and Jerry O’sullivan.
Our FairPlé score this week: 21 (We’ll do better next week!)
