Celtic Aire
This two hour show airs twice a week, first on Saturdays at 4:00 p.m. and then again on Tuesday nights at 8:00 p.m. (minus nine hours GMT). I play Irish, Scottish, Breton, Galician and English folk music with a special emphasis on North American artists. I also showcase new releases from Celtic artists from around the world. I'm not afraid of synths and drum machines, but I keep it REAL. You don't have to be a big name recording star to be on my show. I play what is fresh, clean and genuine. I also do interviews with locals and the international jet set when they come to town, like Tommy Peoples. Send me your stuff.
The Voice of Vashon is community based, volunteer web radio.

Celtic Highway
An 11 hour loop of tunes interspersed with the occasional song. Recordings range from Leo Rowsome to Flook, with a general tendency towards a more modern style of ITM, plus some Scottish and Gallician stuff. If you're not expecting pure drop, this a great station.
On the down side, to the best of my knowledge, it's always the same 11 hours of music and never changes, so if you listen to the staion all day, things might get repetetive.

Weekly posted net-radio, 'pod cast' sessions - which can be down loaded as MP3 format (I think). Dedicated to the players of the traditional form in Co. Clare. Individual presenters - on separate nights. A great format - a wonderful way to listen in on the local traditions.
I've enjoyed listening in from over the 'Big Pond' - in Montreal, Qc!

Mo Cheol Th
Presented each Sunday morning on RTE and archived for a week or until the next show. Presenter: Ciaran MacMathuna. One of the collectors of Irish tunes in the field some years ago, he presents a mix of tunes, songs, poetry and recitation. A good bit of nostalgia. Once in a while he presents field recordings he did in the '50's and '60's or talks about his experiences at that time. This week's show (12-29) has a description of a Midsummer Eve dance in Sweden when MacMathuna was visiting "many years ago" (one of his favorite expressions) along with a Swedish fiddle tune played by an Irish fiddler. This show has been on the air for more than 30 years. I first heard it, muffled, through the kitchen door of a farmhouse near Navan where we were staying a couple of years ago.
