Better Days #162 : A Trace Of Bagpipes

Thursday, April 7th
10:00 pm -12:00 am PDT
CFRO 102.7 FM Vancouver
http://www.coopradio.org for webcast

This all started when I contacted Scottish songwriter
and singer, Karine Polwart, after reading her name
in a number of places, including nomination polls
for the BBC 2 Folk Awards. The story continued
when I got to hear Karine's subtle and moving cd,
Faultlines, her debut as a solo artist.

Since then - with some help from Karine - I've had
contact with Emily Smith, Colin Blakey, John
Barrow, Ian D. Green, Cath at Greentrax Records,
and others, and have had my ears opened wide to
an intriguing array of traditional and contemporary
Scottish music artistry.

I've got some other surprises, too, but the full second
hour of this week's show will be devoted to Scottish
artists - Karine, Dick Gaughan, Orchestra Macaroon,
Fine Friday, Shooglenifty and a few more. Though I've
been around folk music much of my life, I'll admit to not
knowing a lot about Scottish music; I still don't, but I'll play
you some things I sure enjoy listening to!

That's Tonight, 10:00 pm to 12:00 midnight, Pacific
Daylight Saving Time (is that what it's called?), when
episode 162 of Better Days takes the air on CFRO...
the station heard around the corner and around the
world. Better Days now has listeners in at least a
dozen countries, and counting. The show is heard at
102.7 fm in the signal area, and live on the web at
http://www.coopradio.org

Bring a memory.
