Episode 116 is to episode 115 what Iron Maiden's Killers is to Iron Maiden's Iron Maiden. Full of great stuff that just wasn't able to fit on the previous one. This one is built around the long promised Welsh segment as well as the lengthy interview and deep dive into Stockholm's Supertraditional label. there's some great new Irish music on here from Trá Pháidín, Paahto and the Bull and Cathal Caulfield as well as new tracks from Bellringer and Mama's Broke and even a Northen Soul version of Molly Malone....
Fire Draw Near LXVII shall henceforth be known as Episode 115, as I will be consolidating the regular and bonus shows from now on. This episode was an absolute pleasure to put together and showcases that there is so much great music out there in the folk and traditional worlds, from the straight up 'pure drop' to the weirder material.
