I was reading a playlist for a Celtic radio show, and I noticed that about 90% of the artists performing on the show were from Ireland or Scotland. Meaning their members were from one of those Celtic countries. Yet, as I understand it, 80% or so of the Celts, no longer live in those countries. That struck me as kinda crappy, because there are a helluva lot of brilliant Celtic musicians from around the globe who are of Celtic heritage but are 2nd generation or more. Yet, this one program largely ignores them. Does that not sound like a crying shame to you too?
So I think I found a topic for this year's St. Patrick's Day episode of the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast–2nd Generation Celtic Ex-Patriots.
So I want your requests. What artist and possibly songs would you like to hear in the podcast that fit that bill?
