Thistle & Shamrock for August 11, 2007
8:00 PM - 9:00 PM
[Program Website]
Today's Highlight: "Reunion – part 2"
Now in its third year Perthshire Amber becomes a ten-day festival in 2007 as it brings together musicians from different parts of the world that have been involved with Dougie MacLean over the years. We hear more highlights from Fiona Ritchie’s festival chat with legendary names in Scottish music and more exclusive highlights from their reunion concert.
Viewing her program as an on-air community, Fiona Ritchie has created a gathering place for anyone who enjoys music from Celtic roots, and loves to accompany her across the bridges she builds between the traditional and the contemporary, between Celtic music and the world.
The object of international critical acclaim, Thistle comes to listeners from Perthshire in the heart of Scotland, where Ritchie weaves the textures of her musical world into a richly entertaining program. Step into the heart of an ancient tradition of reels, jigs, ballads, and laments. Then follow the pulse towards new music: an exuberant blend of irresistible rhythms, emotional voices, and fascinating instruments.
