Celtic Roots Radio 70 – Down at 'The Yard' – The Titanic Quarter

Curated by Raymond McCullough of Precious Oil Productions Ltd, Celtic Roots Radio-Irish music podcast is a heartfelt journey through the sounds and stories of Celtic and roots traditions. Each episode feels like a personal mixtape, blending a rich tapestry of music that spans from the heart of Ireland and Scotland to the Appalachian mountains and the Breton coast. You’ll hear the driving rhythms of folk-rock, the poignant storytelling of singer-songwriters, the lively energy of Cajun and bluegrass, and the deep, resonant tones of pure acoustic sessions. It’s a celebration where Cape Breton fiddle tunes might sit alongside a soulful Irish ballad, all united by a common thread of authenticity and passion. More than just a music podcast, the programme is infused with a warm, welcoming spirit-what’s fondly referred to as a wee drop of Norn Iron craic. This creates a sense of community, as if you’re discovering these tunes alongside a knowledgeable friend. For anyone with an ear for genuine, roots-driven sound, this podcast offers a regular and enriching escape into the diverse soundscape of Celtic-inspired music, carefully produced to feel both timeless and immediate.
