Trad Celtic music, being folk music, has a vast repertoire of songs and tunes featuring criminals, cheaters, cads, and other ne’er-do-wells. This week, Katie Marie and Joe put together an hour of music featuring these Celtic anti-heroes. Some are well-known chestnuts, and others are fresh out of the recording studio. This week also features new tracks from Bay Area singer Erin Ruth and Germany’s Broom Bezzums.
The artists this week: Niamh Dunne; Cathie Ryan; Jackie Daly; Planxty; Adam McCulloch; Broom Bezzums; Len Graham; Stan Rogers; Anne Wylie Band; Malinky; Great Big Sea; Donal Clancy; Erin Ruth; and Shantalla.
