Although not entirely a Christmas themed playlist the majority of this week’s show is given over to the festive period courtesy of some of my favourites including A Winter Talisman by Johnny Cunningham and Susan McKeown. The show features tracks from three of our current Featured Albums of the Month: Damien O’Kane‘s Avenging and Bright, Peatbog Faeries Live @ 25 and O’Hooley & Tidow‘s Winterfolk, Vol 1. We’ve also music from our current Artist of the Month: Kate Rusby, taken from her new album Angels and Men.
