115R St. Patrick’s Day
A show of Irish music and music by Irish artists, old and new, traditional and modern and all things in between. Fitting in between the two parades, I began to worry that nobody was coming along, but in the end we had a very large crowd and at least 26 listener connections. Malaclypse was too ill to host so it was a solo show from me, Alan, who was also not very well but managed to keep from coughing during the important bits.
