Radio Show – Episode 35 – October 13, 2019

Show 35 is ready for your listening pleasure! In this one we feature music from three Breton artists, as well as some contemporary nature-rooted expressions (want to hear a heart-felt song from a tree? how about beautiful violin in the Wilderness, or a blessing for lost words?).  Harp music can be found in music by Dave and Sharon Thormahlen, Cécile Corbel, and Barry Phillips.  We followed this show with a re-airing of Show 14. Listen to both shows on demand for the next two weeks at VoiceofVashon.org.

Forest Halls Celtic – Yr Hen Orgledd – The Old North

As I prep for my upcoming bardic storytelling concert coming in October, I’m finding myself drawn to the passions of my young adulthood: the Old Welsh language and poetry and the land of Wales —  and the so-called Dark Ages of Britain. Some of these threads make their way into this show. Expect as well plenty of harp! Harpers appear as soloists, accompanists, band members, and in other surprising ways. You’ll hear harp played by Welsh triple harpist Llio Rhydderch, double strung harp by Laurie Riley, and harp played by Tina Larkin, Stacey Blythe (Ffynnon), Síle Denvir (Líadan), and more. You’ll also hear some Old Welsh language and excerpts of some of the earliest Welsh poems.

Please tune in: Sunday, Sept. 15 at 12noon PST streaming at Voice of Vashon. The second hour will be an encore airing.  The show will also be available on demand for a couple of weeks.
