PGM 904 "THE TURNING TIDE" : Week of March 12th...

« iPhone App News | Main | Anatomy of an outage »

Every year at the threshold of spring, we return to the joy and heartache of Celtic music.  We celebrate a culture whose roots go back to Iron Age Europe, that became one of the foundations of western European folk music, and by virtue of waves of Irish and Scottish immigration, a major element in American folk music as well.

During the last 20 years we had a bit of a boom in Celtic music. These days things have quieted down, but the genre is still abundant with talented musicians and superb recordings. On this transmission of HEARTS of SPACE it's another journey in the Celtic soundscape called THE TURNING TIDE.

Music is by JEFF JOHNSON & BRIAN DUNNING, singers MAEVE McKINNON, KAREN MATHESON and CATRIONA WATT, fiddler ATHENA TERGIS, Celtic harpist AINE MINOGUE, and the bands ALTAN and SOLAS.
