This week, Katie Marie and Joe explore the songs and tunes surrounding emigration. Much of the Irish music about emigration focuses on the calamitous Great Hunger of 1847 and the desperate people who fled across the sea to the US and Canada to save their lives, or the petty criminals exiled across the sea.
The artists this week: Planxty; Diarmuid O’Brien; Burning Bridget Cleary; Paddy Keenan; Altan; Niamh Parsons; Lá Lugh; Glengarry Bhoys; Bridget McMahon; The Oyster Band; Frank Harte-Donal Lunny; and Deaf Shepherd.
Our FairPlé score this week: 50
