Presented by Roy McGuinness
Join us for another episode of Capital Irish, where this week Roy is joined in studio by the fantastic Harpist Karen Jones, and his old mate Julian Ward on Guitar, where they share stories and some great music played live in studio.
First of all we have the classic 'Nancy Spain' with Roy on Vocals, Julian on Guitar, and accompanied by Karen on the harp. Then we get a couple of traditional Celtic numbers from Karen on the harp which are 'The Aran Boat' and "Rosalyn Castle'.
Karen is also a music teacher, so if you're interested in getting any of your little ones into music check out Karens website - https://www.ceol.co.nz/childrens-music-centre/
This program was also broadcast on Wellington Access Radio with the support of New Zealand on Air.
