This week, Katie Marie and Joe take a look back at all the trad Celtic releases that came out in 2025, and we’ve come up with an hour-long show featuring some of these tracks. We had to leave a bunch of great music on the cutting room floor, since we only have an hour to spend.
The artists this week: Enda Scahill & Joel Andersson; Danú; Andrew Caden & Conor McDonagh; Bríd Harper-Libby McCrohan-Sylvain Barou; Frankie Gavin; Francis Cunningham & Eimear Coughlan; Eileen Gannon & Eimear Arkins; Dan Gurney & Christina Dolphin with Brian McGrath; Grosse Isle; Sheila Friel; Catherine McEvoy; Barry Kerr; The Lilies of the Midwest; John Cronin & Daithí Kearney; and Ciarán Ó Maonaigh & Seán Óg Graham.
Our FairPlé score this week: 53
