Kitchen Party Ceilidh

06/29/2025

Tonight and next week, we'll do something we've done from time to time followed by something we've never done.

This Tuesday, July 1, is Canada Day, and as we've done several times, we'll celebrate our neighbor to the north by starting in Newfoundland with the Fables and head west, province by province, till we wind up in British Columbia with the Paperboys. Along the way, we'll hear from great folks like The McDades, West of Mabou and Poor Angus.

Then, on next week's show, as it will be the Fourth of July holiday weekend, we'll have songs and tunes of America, from Christy Moore, Ashley MacIsaac, The Mahones and many others. This will be a new one for us, and I'll be interested to hear what you's think.

Tune in tonight at 10 PM EDT on WICR FM 88.7, or stream live worldwide at www.wicronline.org

I've got something to share which may interest you.

As you may know, our friends in the Indianapolis Ceili Band have qualified to go complete in the Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann in Wexford, Ireland. This is a great honor for the band, which earned its way by qualifying at the Midwest Fleadh in April.

The Ceili Band is now planning to go compete against the best ceili bands in the world in August, and as you might imagine, getting ten musicians to Ireland, and housing and feeding them while there, is not cheap. So the group has launched a GoFundMe campaign, link below, and that's where we all come in.

I'm here to let you know that the largest donor to the Ceili Band GoFundMe will win the opportunity to program an entire episode of the Kitchen Party Ceilidh, and if desired, to co-host. I've never turned the programming of a whole show over to anyone, so this promises to be an interesting event.

Thanks in advance for your support of our friends in the Indy Ceili Band, and let the giving commence!

The Indianapolis Ceili Band has been serving the Indianapolis community… Indy Ceili Band needs your support for Back the Indy Ceili Band's Journey to Ireland!
