In Homage to the Alpine Krampuslauf
HALLO!
And wilkomen to this week’s Eclecti-Celt programme…straying eastward, and also northward from the Celtic regions into mountainous Europe. This coming Friday, the 6th, is St. Nicholas’s Day. Patron saint of children: good children and the not-so-well-behaved children. The kinder who beamed polite and proper according to Alpine morals were blessed, and gifted treats. The other young derelicts were awarded an encounter with the Krampuses; the deliverers of consequences for the errors of their ways. This show pays musical homage to the patrol and prowl of St. Nicholas and the Krampus, from Alpine mountain crags and caves, from house-to-house, and down village streets.
Check out these couple of links to a Krampuslauf of renown in LA, and a just birthed Bisbee Krampuslauf...

Corvus Corax, The Compatible, Heilung, Rammstein, Ranarim, Hoven Droven, Wardruna, Faun and others! This is VERY good music to work on your Krampus costumes for this year and the next. And the next.
PROST!

Food, Beverage, & Gratitude
Greetings friends & families,
This week's Eclecti-Celt programme pays homage to the gathering together of friends and family, to celebrate each other and the incredible abundance that invokes gratitude. The show feature's songs and tunes all about beverages and food, and joy. And here and there, the lack of all. A simple show, really. But, hearty, and filling.
Truly sláinte & peace,
Máhoney

A Celtic Side Pony
HELLO! We just had a weekend of massive amounts of live music down here in Bisbee, Arizona. It’s part of a Side Pony movement, I think, around the country to introduce communities to relatively unknown musicians and bands. SOoo, Angelika had a great idea for this week’s Eclecti-Celt to feature “unknown” names in Celtic music. SOoo, here we have a program dedicated to those hard-working folks who do not usually get much spotlight or airtime. Still, and all in all, just great great offerings from the Celtic worlds. As always, SLÁINTE!

Celtic Song Languages
Hello from the Mule Mountains...
What's got me stirred for this week's Eclecti-Celt?
The sounds of the Celtic languages: lilting and guttural, squishy and sonorous, beautiful and in the mouths of the young artists especially ALIVE. I’m always mesmerized by the songs of the People; the traditions and stories that are conveyed as only indigenous languages are able. As if on a long boat of singers and storyers...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celtic_languages
You will hear them all this week on Eclecti-Celt: Irish, Scots Gaelic, Manx, Cornish, Welsh, Breton, Galician, & even English. For over 2,000 years, battered and belittled by oppressormen, the Celtic languages are still ALIVE.
Sláinte. YES! Sláinte.

The Samhain Eclecti-Celt for 2019
Happy Halloween week, or as it’s more anciently and properly know in the Irish language: Samhain. Please consider pronouncing it anciently and properly as: SOW-en. This is a great time of year to be broadcasting tunes, songs and stories from the Celtic countries. The observances of Samhain have, in fact, their origins in these misty, dreary, ominous, beckoning landscapes. And, of course, the musical interpretations of this season are equally so. SO…here you all go…my offerings of mist drear and beckon for your Halloween pleasure!
Sláinte & BOO!

Autumnal
Well Well...HELLO...
The Earth and the Sun are just in that special place this week. Equinox. Whether you're on this curve of the Sphere or Downunder...you got Equinox. Here in Bisbee, Arizona, we're seeing the end of Summer and the beginning of Autumn. Hence the inspiration for this week's Eclecti-Celt programme. Leaves--Harvest--Sunshine--Frost--Beer and other spirits--Wind...it's all in the week's show. With special homage to Hurricane Lorena, chugging her wet and wild way up the Sea of Cortez. Will she gift the region with some of our last monsoonal rain?
Sláinte all.

Celtic Tradfusions
Hello hello all...
IN celebration of Angelika's safe and happy return to Bisbee from her pilgrimage to Germany, I decided to play a majority of her and my favorite band on this week's Eclecti-Celt: Kíla! https://www.facebook.com/kilaofficial/?ref=page_internal
BUT, as I began to craft that playlist, I found I was being directed from the Celtic bardo to provide point-counterpoint o the old traditional tunes and songs with the contemporary, fused sounds of artists like Kíla, Shooglenifty, https://www.shooglenifty.com/
and so on. These musical alchemists have created new and vibrant music, while keeping faith and true to the deep heart's core of the old traditional compositions.
This was a FUN, if tricky, Eclecti-Celt, to put together. SO...have FUN! Enjoy & Sláinte!

Musical Labours
Hello good people,
In the United States of America we observe the labours of our society's population via today's national holiday: Labor Day. I do not know why we decided to drop the "u" from the spelling as is still retained by all other former English colonies. Probably just to be difficult and different. Anyway, this week's Eclecti-Celt features tunes and songs reflecting the lot of Celtic labour and their labourers...a voluminous source of the Celtic musical genre, indeed. To them, I bow low and say, thank you. Go raith maith agabh.

Purely Instrumental, Watson
Hello hello, good people...
Well, there I was randomly, purely, minding my own business just listening to Celtic music and the them for this week's Eclecti-Celt programme hit me. Actually, it "sent" me...like blissfully. And it was the first track on the show, "War hent Poullfetan". An Amazing guitar piece by Söig Siberil. A purely instrumental show, my dear Watson. Or should I say, Mahoney? There ARE four "songs" in the show, but it's the Celtic instrumentalists that purely shine.
Enjoy! Sláinte all!

Bisbee Piratical Celtique REDUX
Ahoy! It's me again!
Onacountof being unavoidably locked out of the KBRP studio last week, THIS WEEK I'm playing the programme that we all missed out on hearing Monday previous. So, to re-dux...
This week's Eclecti-Celt programme finds us bidding adieu to this past weekend's Annual Bisbee's PIRATES of the HIGH DESERT festivities. By way of explanation: 1) We live about 400 miles from the nearest Ocean; 2) The community is loaded with residents of...shall we say...interesting and possibly nefarious backgrounds; 3) Johnny Depp has been seen in town on multiple occasions; and 4) Any excuse for dressing up in costume and carousing the weekend away is eagerly anticipated and carried out. AND this past weekend by all accounts was a fine Bacchanalia...Our band The Rooks played our versions of the attached playlist LIVE in two two hour time slots last Saturday. Avast, it twas bloody well GRAND! So there!
Sláinte ye all...!

Mothers, Wives & Celtic Pirates
Greetings and hello...
A sincere homage this week on Eclecti-Celt: the occasions of my mother's 91st birthday, and the 29th anniversary of my own and Ms. Fabry's wedded state. Naturally, both observances are replete with memories both serene and wonderful and callous and harrowing, BUT, all things considered, the lives of this family are truly blessed. So there it is. And rightly so. Sláinte, ladies.
CELTIC PIRATES?! Well, this is actually just a tease for next week's programme. AVAST!
Sláinte, all.

The Celtic Y Chromosome
Greetings from the lands of some summer rains...
This week on KBRP's Eclecti-Celt programme featured are the tunes and songs of men of the Celtic persuasion, hence this show's title. The inspiration for this show came out of listening in a "shuffle" to the Pogues composition which is the first song in the playlist. From there I started to ponder how I've recently buzzed my head and shaved my 'stache. Crisis? Maybe. But more like...eccentricity, quirkyness, a wee bit of vanity, and attitude, indeed.
The Celtic Y Chromosome, indeed.
With love, ENJOY agus SLÁINTE!

Adventures in Celtic Canada
Happy Solstice and seasonal salutations...
Canada oh Canada. Canadian Celtic to be precise. That's what's in store for Eclecti-Celt this week. A fine sampling of some of my northern neighbor's gifted artists. Heavy on the fiddling. Consummate musicians on every level.
This week's show--in celebration of two intrepid travelers bound from Vancouver to Calgary for a long week's vacation. Dear mother and dear daughter. Les femme sages adventures, for certain. The safest and wildest time away from the Lower 48 I wish for them.
And always, sláinte!

Celtic towns, cities & villages
Hello folks,
Last week's Eclecti-Celt programme contained tunes and songs incanting special--mostly wild--places. This week's Eclectic-Celt, I headed into the cities and towns and villages to sample the music and spoken/sung words in varying metropolitan Celtic regions. So, listen to the urban suburban musical diversity. If you have never visited these places, I hope this show inspires to take us there. Bon Voyage.
And a very happy solstice, too. And just so you know, in celebration thereof, there will be Celtic--mostly Irish--live music being performed by The Rooks, in the evening at the Bisbee Grand and in the late afternoon at the Morning Star in Palominas, this Wednesday the 19th of June and Saturday the 22nd, respectively.
Ok then, villages, towns and cities. Sláinte.
