Back again this week from my home studio with more great tunes! I'm trying something different this week - I'm playing an old traditional song sung in the traditional way ("S e nochd a'chiad oidhche 'n fhoghair") and then playing two modern renditions of it - one by Karen Matheson and the other by up-and-coming group Sian. Also, stick around for new tunes from Dara Smith-MacDonald, and more!

Celtic Fire: Season 15 Episode 13
It's been a long haul but I'm finally back after Spring Break, then a cold, then figuring out how to record and upload a radio show from my home office in order to respect social distancing. I have been working from home myself, and indeed was on self-isolation for a couple of weeks. Nevertheless...I'm back on the air!
On tonight's show - some brand new material from Mary Ann Kennedy (one of my favourites), Dougie McCance (one of my favourite pipers), as well as Coig, Dawn and Margie Beaton, Eddi Reader and many more! Tune in!
