This week, Katie Marie and Joe keep company with an hour of Rakes, Rascals, and Sports. Not just Celtic music, but folk music from around the world features songs about the folks–both men and women–that are the center of attention in the tavern or lurking in the shadows. They are the ones that play the field in love, drink to excess, and are generally the life of the party.
The artists this week: Todd Denman And Bill Dennehy; Donal Clancy; Maura O’Connor; Shantalla; Bua; Rosheen; Patrick Street; Eamon O’Leary & Jefferson Hamer (The Murphy Beds); Stray Hens; Stéphanie Makem & Tiarnán Ó Duinnchinn; Liam Clancy, Tommy Makem, Family & Friends; Lynnsey Weissenberger & Treasa Harkin; Zoë Conway; Droichead; and Silly Wizard
