Much to the consternation of melody players, starting in the 1970s with the folk music revival, the guitar and bouzouki made a permanent imprint on traditional Celtic music. Katie Marie and Joe assembled a set list of tracks featuring extraordinary examples of guitar and bouzouki virtuosity, proving that indeed, perhaps, these instruments belong in the pantheon of traditional Celtic instruments.l
The artists this week: Danú; Burning Bridget Cleary; Adam Agee & Jon Sousa; John Doyle; Paddy Keenan & Paddy Glackin; Beth Patterson; Eileen Niehouse; Gerry O’Connor & Gilles Le Bigot; Guichen; Jamie McMenemy; Tony Mcmanus; Sarah McQuaid; Stephen Wake; Alec Finn & Frankie Gavin; Arty Mcglynn; and Frankie Gavin & Alec Finn with Briain Bourke.
