Show 412 – The Dark Side of Love
(2026-02-14)

posted in: Past Shows

If you have realized that the roses have wilted, the chocolate has melted all over the car seat, and perhaps the “walk of shame” feels more shameful than it should, then this week’s playlist just might be what you need. Katie Marie and Joe put together an hour of trad Celtic music that is the antithesis of Valentine’s Day. It’s love gone bad, Celtic-style!

This week’s artists: Cara; Adam McCulloch; M McGoldrick, J McCusker, J Doyle; Walking On Air; Coda; Davy Graham; Annalivia; Joe Heaney; Altan; Sweeney’s Men; Kevin Burke; Mick McAuley; Karan Casey & John Doyle; Fianna; and Will Woodson, Caitlin Finley, & Chris Stevens.

This week’s FairPlé score: 33
