23rd Sep Celtic Tones

On a blustery day in Sydney, Celtic Tones brightens the evening and brings warmth to the soul with a HOULIE in the studio as Kila kicks things off with Suas Sios, but it doesn’t stop there as the door is open for Martin Hayes, Lisa O’Neill, Don Baker and many, many more…but make sure to close it behind as it is cold out there..

A focus album that I can recommend this week is ‘The Don. My Songs My Friends’ which is an extraction from the playlist on this evenings show. I picked ‘Lord Have Mercy’ which features the deep vocals of Eleanor McEvoy, but many other Artists join Don Baker on this album including Sinead O’Connor, Declan O’Rourke, Brian Kennedy and many, many more.
