Memorial Day has come and gone, students are out of school, and summer is officially in full swing. To be pedantic, Summer of course really starts on June 20th this year–but we all know summer is here. Katie Marie and Joe put together an hour of Celtic tunes and songs about the biggest and boldest of the seasons.
The artists this week: Becky Tracy; Damien Mullane; T With The Maggies; Liam Merriman & Eoin O Meachair; Zoë Conway; The Bothy Band; Joe Burke, Andy Mcgann & Dolan; Andy Lamy feat. Brian Conway & John Walsh; Cedar Dobson; Poor Man’s Gambit; Donald WG Lindsay; Ad Vielle Que Pourra; Bernard Bizien, Konogan an Habask; Dàimh; and James Keane.
Our FairPlé score this week: 27
