Festival Radio is going green and taking names once again!
That’s right, b’gosh and b’gorrah, the annual salute to All Things Celtic is now playing through shortly after St. Patrick’s Day. You’ll hear a wide variety of freeform Celtic music from AfroCelt Sound System to Zoe Mulford, from Enya to Enter the Haggis, including the following:
- Traditional jigs and reels
- Celtic rock
- Progressive
- TechnoCeltic
- And much, much more.
Top 45 for Festival Radio, February 2010. Why 45? Because we go the extra mile at Festival Radio. Well, actually, because 40 through 45 are really in a virtual tie.
