'Tis a fine night's work in the Windy City Irish Radio studios as the lads drop anchor and spin tales of the open sea. Whether it's the sailors, the pirates or the mermaids awashed, it's all they can do to avoid the watery grave to bring this fine music to you. Listen for tales of the North Sea Holes and the Flowers of Bermuda and find out for yourself where The River Meets the Sea. With Solas, Gaelic Storm, Dylan Walshe and Shannon Sharon in the galley, The Chieftains with The Decemberists, The Jeremiahs, and JigJam tending the side, Richard Thompson - RT and Michael McDermott raising the colors and Joanna Hyde & Tadhg Ó Meachair, Phil Coulter and Liam Clancy manning the grog with Tannahill Weavers at the Old Town School of Folk, Chicago, it's about all Tim and Mike can do to keep the boat afloat and avoid the fate of Davy Jones Locker. Tune in each Wednesday from 8PM to 9PM to WSBC 1240 AM and catch this watery podcast at www.windycityirishradio.com
