You’ve likely heard the expression, “put a little spring in your step.” I’m a bit confused about what this means. In my experience, stepping on a spring is decidedly painful. So there must be another explanation. But instead of wasting time pondering that insolvable dilemma, let’s listen to some more celtic spring music. On this emanation of Routes & Branches & Beyond, we’ll hear Breton festou-noz polkas, cajun Quebecois, garlic-breathing sailors, Scottish heartthrobs, glowing double plinns, chestnuts from the used bins, accordions on 78, celtic rock road warriors, Cape Breton fusion, sulphuric acid chasers, Irish trad swagger, Hebridean crooning of the highest order and tempo-crossing tunes (which are illegal in some States).
All from bands like Skolvan, Suroît, Skippinish, Skerryvore, Skeduz, Skylark, Mary Staunton, Spirit of the west, Slàinte Mhath, Spiers & Boden, Slide, Andy M. Stewart, and Strobinell. Watch your step and join me.
