Dear Green Place

Saturday, 3 - 5pm

If you're like me, and love All Things Celtic, then we have much in common. There's something about the Celtic lands - full of beauty, mystery and lore. And full of wonderful music, with songs to feed our imagination, honor tradition and tell stories...and tunes that stir our blood and invite us to dance.

Join me for music of Ireland, Scotland, England, Wales, Canada, Australia....and America. Anywhere the jigs and reels are being played, or songs are being sung.

I'll try each week to bring you a pleasing mix of vocal and instrumental, ages old and contemporary....by some of the most celebrated performers out there, such as: Battlefield Band, the Chieftans, Silly Wizard, De Danann, Cherish the Ladies, Martin Carthy,Dick Gaughan, Kate Rusby...and oh, so many more!

So, let's go traveling together. You won't need a passport or a suitcase...and you won't need a plane ticket to get to....The Dear Green Place.

Listening to music is great.  But hearing it played live is the BEST! To find out about celtic concerts and festivals in this area, please visit my website – www.thedeargreenplace.net
