| about the show |
Hear traditional music from Ireland, Scotland, England, Wales, Brittany, Nova Scotia and Cape Breton with Ewan O’Doherty every Friday night from 10pm on Our Musical Islands. As well as the latest releases, we play music from ‘classic’ folk and traditional albums as well as recordings of Irish traditional music made in the United States during the early decades of the 20th century. Presented and produced by Ewan O’Doherty since March 2001 (with Eddie Mongey as co-presenter for a time), it has developed and evolved so as to have its own distinctive flavour and style with favourable feedback from regular listeners. The programme’s predecessor was ‘The Double Octave’, which ran from January 1995 - April 1999 and which was of similar style and content. |
