Thistle & Shamrock for December 01, 2007
8:00 PM - 9:00 PM
[Program Website]
Today's Highlight: "Miles of Isles"
From the Northern Isles of Shetland and Orkney to the Hebrides, the Isle of Man, and Rathlin Island off the Northern Irish coast, this week’s diverse choice of music is insular only in the geographical sense. Hear Fiddler’s Bid, Maggie MacInnes, William Jackson, and more.
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.
