Around this time every year, the stretch of oppressively hot summer temperatures gets a few days too long: these are indeed the Dog Days of Summer. Katie Marie and Joe put together an hour of Celtic tunes and songs honoring our favorite canine companions to distract us from this heat and take time to ponder the meaning of “Dog Days”.
The artists this week: Danú; Scottish Fish; Calan; Beth Patterson; Dick Gaughan & Andy Irvine; Noreen O’Sullivan with Frankie & Sean Gavin; Open House; Altan; Ed Miller; Lily Gems & Eileen O’ Driscoll; Solas; Four Men & A Dog; and Goitse.
Our FairPlé score this week is 46.
