This show is for those who are disillusioned and revulsed by the saccharine-sweet, magenta-hued expectations of Valentine’s Day. This week, Katie Marie and Joe pick the low-hanging fruit and spin up tracks that are the antithesis to Valentine’s Day, full of unrequited love, murder, forbidden love, empty longing, angry vengeance…all themes familiar to fans of Celtic music.
The artists this week: Dirty Linen; Zoë Conway, Dónal Lunny, & Máirtín O’Connor; Daoiri Farrell; Adrienne O’Shea; Noreen O’Sullivan with Frankie & Sean Gavin; The Poozies; Le Vent du Nord; Poor Man’s Fortune; Kornog; Aoife Granville; Nomos; Kate Rusby; and Planxty.
Our FairPlé score this week: 46
