Fiddler Kevin Burke |
|
| Kevin Burke has recorded so many albums now, both solo and duet, and as a member of The Bothy Band, Patrick Street, Open House, and the Celtic Fiddle Festival, that we can't even fit one selection per album into the hour, but we'll still be able to sample some great tunes from the breadth of his career as one of the best loved Irish fiddle players. |

Jigsongs |
|
| You won't find the word "jigsongs" in any music reference sources, but this week's program will introduce the word into the lexicon by featuring vocals that are all in 6/8 time, often with jig melodies woven into the performance of the song. It should make for a lively and toe-tapping hour! |
