I recently found this Celtic Radio Station online and thought our Beltaine friends might enjoy ir:

The initial seeds of Celtic Music Radio go back several years when regular Celtic Connections Festival-goer Bob McWilliam realised that this genre of music and the culture of Scotland was not getting the exposure it deserved, how artists were marginalised and how there is a ‘social gain’ need to support emerging new artists and to keep the culture alive.
With the possibility of Community Radio on the horizon, Bob gathered together a team of like-minded individuals to make the project a reality.

I''ve listened to John McCutcheon, Walt Michael and Malcolm Dalglish for years as well as a little Maggie Sansone and have always enjoyed the sound of the hammered dulcimer. It''s great to be able to add something new to the iPod. Many of the tunes are familiar to me but the arrangements are fresh. Thanks for the good music!
You did it agin! A smashing success making the festival truly festive! Thank you for your willingness to donate so much of your time and talent.
Wow, Thanks so much for a gret show. You absolutely bring a new kind of vitality to Celtic music. We are excited to hear your new material in May. Until then...All the Best from your friends at Artichoke - Dan'l, Rich, and Jim
“The bright and festive sounds of acoustic guitar, hammered dulcimer marimbula, flute and penny whistle combine in folk-inspired arrangements, with dance-like qualities and a celebratory air throughout.”
