Thistle & Shamrock for June 14, 2008
8:00 PM - 9:00 PM
[Program Website]
Today's Highlight: "Together We Sing"
In difficult times, music has a special role to play, whether as a fundraising tool for local and international relief or in bringing people together to soothe wounded souls and ease broken hearts. Featuring “Hands Across the Water – A Benefit for the Children of the Tsunami,” and other caring collections, we come together in music of hope and healing.
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.
