The Mix: ThistleRadio's 100 Essential Celtic Songs
Welcome to the debut of ThistleRadio, our 24/7 channel devoted to music with Celtic roots. During almost 30 years hosting The Thistle & Shamrock, I've been privileged to hear thousands of albums on everything from vinyl to MP3. For the launch of ThistleRadio, I've selected 100 songs and instrumentals by passionate performers from across the decades who have helped define the sound of my radio shows.
ThistleRadio is essential listening for dedicated fans of the Celtic sound and its many trailblazing artists. If you're new to it all, this is the perfect place to discover the heart and soul of a dazzling traditional and contemporary art form. As the channel grows, I'll regularly introduce new tracks to the mix, both from established architects of the genre and from the rising tide of new talent, so come back often.
From the pub to the performing-arts center, from the kitchen to the recording studio, this music has already traveled many a mile. ThistleRadio now presents its new online home. Tune in and see where the music takes you.
