Celtic Music Until The Cows Come Home
A lot of people are big fans of Celtic music, or at least profess to be, so they’ll doubtless be really looking forward to a feast day of a particular saint and the glut of celtic music to be heard around the day.
What day? St David’s Day.
Saint David’s Day is the feast day of the patron saint of Wales, and falls on March 1st each year. So in the Kansas City metro area you can expect Llywelyn’s Pub in Overland Park, and Lew’s Grill & Bar in Waldo to be, in musical terms, awash in Welsh.
Well if you do fancy celebrating the country and music of your forebears, or just listening to a ton of Celtic music, you could try listening to a St David’s Day musical marathon on the internet radio site, Radio IRFT.
Last I heard they have extended the day to 72 hours, featuring more performers than I can count, but some of them are: Here Be Dragons, Hwyl, She’s Got Spies, Howl Griff, Ffynnon, Triban, Celtish, Rhian Mostyn, Elin Fflur, Kentucky AFC, Shân Cothi, Gwyn Hughes Jones, Oceans Apart, and Dafydd Iwan.
You can then, or at any other time in fact, listen from here.
Once upon a time I knew an Englishman who loved Irish traditional music and Welsh traditional music, but he disliked Scottish traditional music. Get listening now so you too can dislike the music of your least favourite Celtic nation; mine is Austria.
