Thistle & Shamrock for November 12, 2012
8:30 PM - 9:30 PM
[Program Website]
Today's Highlight: "Tales of the Riverbank"
Rivers run through many of our well-loved and best-known landscapes. Their quiet banks and neglected docksides are now often the focus of rural rediscovery urban regeneration. Music, old and new, celebrates our rivers as sources of life and of timeless inspiration to song-makers
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.
