KBRP LP 96.1 Bisbee

Hello Hello...

This week's Eclecti-Celt displays the influence of two types of rhythms and melodies on Celtic music. The first--and dedicated to recently departed friend, doctor, herbalist, Micheal Brown. Michael once told me "It's better to know one place REALLY well, than to gallivant all over the earth." Anyway, the two types of music this week are: Eastern--like eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East; and Jazz--as least as I find it interpreted by the folks you're going to hear.

The second half of the show was inspired by my waking up to another morning of screeching winds. And me screeching back. Which, I can report, calmed not one fast-moving molecule, not one bit. Sláinte, anyway.

Hello there...

Two months of coldhot hotcold spring winds--abating for a few hours or maybe a day and a night at a time. Gusts that push you around like some bully trying to get ahead of you in the queue. Blast and lengths of wind that punish and desiccate the barely budding green things, and thoughts of compassion and calm. So what, Mahoney? What, you ask, does this surly weather report have to do with an otherwise fine Celtic radio programme. Well, this week in Eclecti-Celt we venture into the slightly edgy and defiantly quirky shades of the Celtic music scene. All of which is truly beautiful and melodious...if not feckin' quirky. Be glad that I didn't go full on EDGY. Maybe next week... Sláinte.

LOVE,

Mahoney

Hello hello!

This week on the show the-royal-we find ourselves delving into threesomes of a small sampling of Celtic artists. In addition to getting to enjoy some depth and breadth from these brilliant folks, I’m going to provide brief—very brief—introductions about them and their work. Thank you, internet! And thank YOU for listening and giving me the juice to keep bringing you this labour of love: Eclecti-Celt. Sláinte, all.

Fellow Celtic Music Lovers,

“…singing: concerts and musicals…ALIVE ALIVE…ohhh.”

It’s been over a year now that the Plague has restrained our attendance at LIVE events and venues of lively tunes and shared songs—because there hasn’t been much in the way of LIVE music—in order to KEEP us alive.

Well, I believe there be light at the end of this poxy tunnel, and to remind ourselves of what joy and energy, and transenDANCE, there is in the experience of ALIVE MUSIC—the next two Eclecti-Celt programmes will be devoted to that very beloved phenom.

A very hearty SLÁINTE to you!

HOLY SMOKES!

What with all the world practicing to keep our distances from one another during these times of pandemic…I just thought it might be helpful—nay…INVIGORATING—to hear a whole two hours of LIVE performances. So then, this week’s Eclecti-Celt features just those energetic, communal, not always technically perfect performances from some of my favorite artists of a Celtic persuasion. Remember when we could all gather together and dance and frolic and frolic and dance? Tough times are upon us—probably not without cause—but, nevertheless…let the music move you! Sláinte.

Warmest Hello's...

This week’s Eclecti-Celt programme occurs at the OLD traditional observance of Imbolc—Candlemas to the Christians. What we consider to be mid-Winter, up there in the OLD British Isles—due to a fairly balmy climate—thoughts and hopes for early springtime weather were observed. Honoring of the divine Feminine was made, and in many locations still are…for example, in County Kildare at the chapel of Saint Brigid.

So, this week features lots and lots of the women of the World Celtic. Sláinte, ladies. And thank you!
