Accordion Noir radio playlist 2010-03-12: Celtic Monster Mash-up

AccNoir 2010-03-12

From ten years ago, here’s episode 170 of Accordion Noir radio, a mega-extended two and a half hour St. Patrick’s Day feast of Celtic music including live performances by accomplished buttonbox minstrel Gerry O’Brien and his colleague Michael from CFRO’s In the Claddagh Ring program, still ten years later featuring Celtic music every Friday night from 6:30 – 8:00 pm.  Ireland may have closed its pubs this year but this recording should still yield enough sweet music to carry your private and isolated kitchen party through into the wee hours. At its original online host it was enjoyed by some 9343 listeners, and you and the world can continue feeling Irish by playing it via the Internet Archive.  Here’s its colossal playlist:
