Irish Tunes Hit Airwaves
VANCOUVER — After waiting in the wings for a regular time slot, Co-Op Radio now has a weekly Celtic music show. In the Claddagh Ring brings an Irish accent to the airwaves Friday evenings, from 6:30 to 8:00 PM, on CFRO, 102.7 FM.
"A claddagh is an old Irish wedding ring, although these days, it is often worn as a badge of Irish identity," says show host Erin Mullan. In the Claddagh Ring
features Celtic music, in a very broad sense. That means traditional and folk music, but you'll also hear jazz, blues, rock-n-roll and what-have-you. And of course, plenty of wild Irish music. You 11 also hear tunes from
f>laces like Cape Breton and New-oundland."
The Irish musical tradition is incredibly diverse, from fast and furious jigs and reels, to haunting songs of exile and emigra-
tion. The new show is not just for devotees of Celtic music, but also for those who wouldn't know a hornpipe from a horny toad.
"Doing this show is pure joy for us because we get the opportunity to expose people to some of the most glorious music on the planet," says Mullan. "If you don't know this music, then tune in and give us the chance to make you a fan."
