The veil between this material world and the spirit realms has grown thin, and Katie and Joe spin up some tracks to celebrate Samhain–pronounced “sah-wen”–also the time of Hallowe’en. We play tracks of autumn and the supernatural, and the Celtic tradition is full of wonderfully haunting songs and tunes weaving tales of the spooky, ethereal, and bloody.
This Hallowe’en-themed special features spooky music from: Shantalla, Trouble in the Kitchen, Eithne Ní Uallacháin, Altan, Martin Carthy, Goodwin and Gray, Catherine Mcevoy, Shannon, Stray Hens, Len Graham, Danú, and Liz Carroll.
The FairPlé score for this week: 50
