Episode 2368: 25-11 The Emerald Isle

This week on The Sing Out! Radio Magazine we celebrate that most American of holidays - St. Patrick's Day! The date is commemorated in Ireland as the anniversary of the death of St. Patrick who, in the 5th century brought Christianity to Ireland. Nothing in their tradition features green beer or corned beef and cabbage – those are pretty much American features. We'll listen to Irish music from America, Canada, Germany and yes, Ireland: songs and tunes from Declan O'Rourke, Cathy Ryan, Kevin Burke, Stout, Dervish, We Banjo 3 and many more. Celebrate the Emerald Isle … this week on The Sing Out!
