Thistle & Shamrock for November 10, 2007
8:00 PM - 9:00 PM
[Program Website]
Today's Highlight: "Tale o' the Bank"
Rivers run through many of our best-loved landscapes and they are now often the focus of urban regeneration and rural rediscovery. Traditional and contemporary song celebrates our rivers as sources of life and timeless inspiration.
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.
