The Thistle and Shamrock
Saturdays at 8 p.m.
5Muir of Gormack - The area of wilderness known as the Muir of Gormack was first mentioned in 1776 by scholars who labeled it a "Caledonian Camp" noting its prehistoric remains of hut circles, cairns and decorated stones. Dougie MacLean imagines the setting in Muir of Gormack - A Pictish Story.
12New Anthems - The process is mysterious, has nothing to do with critical acclaim, and builds momentum over years. Some songs then eventually capture the hearts of people from all walks of life who claim them as their own. Hear the Celtic anthems that inspire mass choruses in pubs and sporting venues -- and the ones that may do so in years to come.
19Nollaig - Hear traditional carols, along with seasonal favorites, dance tunes and verses that have all become a part of the traditional Irish and Scottish Christmastide.
26Raise a Glass - Many a fine song has been sung around the table to celebrate the company, lament the parting, and toast whatever lies ahead. Hand over your car keys and join in with Tony Cuffe, the Voice Squad and Robin Laing as we raise a glass to the New Year.
