Thistle & Shamrock for January 10, 2011
8:30 PM - 9:30 PM
[Program Website]
Today's Highlight: "Cherish the Ladies"
Celebrate the New Year in the company of this immensely popular band, a collection of globetrotting instrumentalists and singers who perform close to 200 gigs each year (Features vintage concert highlights)
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.
