On today's show we have music from Bonnie Raitt, Randy Kohrs with Dolly Parton. Dermot Byrne and Mister Midnight among others. This is also the last show I record at my old house in Norcross as I am moving to the picturesque town of Suwannee which is just a few miles north of here. It is also the last show before the new administration takes power in Washington. So lots of changes on the way and I am hopeful they will be good ones. Also on the show today I talk about a great concert taking place in my home town of Buncrana on Friday night. The concert, featuring many of Ireland's leading traditional musicians, singers and dancers will take place in the Inishowen Gateway Hotel in Buncrana on Friday, January 16. Proceeds of the concert will go to the Irish Language Pre-school, An Naionra Gaelach, in Buncrana. Dermot Byrne and Ciaran Tourish of the brilliant Altan will be joined by Kevin Doherty and Paul Rodden (Fellow members of the Pyrost) to present a super group for this major concert.
The concert is also packed with even more talent, with Keenan Barrett and Anne Nelson performing, new trad band Dalltach, Dinny McLaughlin and guests and the brilliant Elliot School of Irish Dancing all part of the bill.
This Friday, January 16 is a night not to be missed, while at the same time you will be helping a very worthy cause. Tickets can be bought at Mac’s bookshop and The Inishowen Gateway. Price 10 euro. Doors open 8pm. Concert starts 8.30
