Music Welcome in Another
Year
by Blanche Rowen & Mike
Gulston
The Dance Goes On
This show was released at Samhain
in 2015 so this song by the very talented Blanche Rowen and Mike
Gulston is especially appropriate. Their album, The
Dance Goes On, is an amazing treat with songs for
each of the seasons of the year making it a joyous exploration of
the Turning of the Wheel! You can find out more about Blanche &
Mike on their website or on our Contributor Page.
Competition Results
In our last episode we set a
competition by asking you if you could find out the name of Charlie
Allan's dog.
Odin
Charlie is from
Saor Patrol and the Duncarron medieval Village and his dog,
Odin, can be frequently seen at events watching the Burgers
cook!
The answer to the competition is:
the dog's name is Odin and our lucky winner is Helen from the UK.
It's on it's way to you, Helen - congratulations!
Listener Feedback
Marco
We play some lovely feedback from
Marco from New Mexico. Marco asks about the old drinking habits and
the hospitality of the ancient Celts. Ruthie did some research and
came across two ancient recipes for beer that might interest him.
You can find them at http://byo.com/hops/item/1537-two-ancient-brews ...
just scroll to the bottom of the page. Please do let us know how
they come out if any of you decide to try them! :)
Thank you so much
Marco!
