A tip of the hat and press of the handshake buzzer to April Fool’s Day this week. Katie Marie and Joe put together an hour of music full of fun-n-games. We also include songs of trickery and betrayal–because not all tricks and pranks have happy endings.
This week’s artists: Michael “Blackie” O’Connell & Karol Lynch; Kiérah; Len Graham; John Carty; Mick O’Brien, Emer Mayock, & Aoife Ní Bhriain; The Cats in the Kitchen; The Voice Squad; Tamalin; Nicholas Williams; Patrick Street; Verena Commins & Julie Langan; and Tony MacMahon & Steve Cooney.
