This week, Katie Marie and Joe celebrate the laborers chronicled in Celtic music that struggle for better wages, safer conditions, and a better life. Marred by violence and frequent death, the labor movement gave us the lifestyles we’re used to.
This week, we play: The House Band, Liz Carroll & John Doyle, Kathleen Keane, Danú, Andy M. Stewart, Emer Mayock, Kevin Burke, Nuala Kennedy, Lisa O’neill, Dermot Byrne-Eamonn Coyne-John Doyle, Gatehouse, Frank Harte-Donal Lunny, Chulrua, Three Mile Stone, and Solas.
