Thistle & Shamrock for December 28, 2009
8:30 PM - 9:30 PM
[Program Website]
Today's Highlight: "Raise a Glass"
Many a fine song has been sung around the table to celebrate the company, lament the parting, and toast whatever lies ahead. Hand over your car keys and join in with Tony Cuffe, the Voice Squad and Robin Laing as we raise a glass to the New Year
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.
