This week on Capital Irish, Andy Linton sits down for a chat with special guest harpist Carolyn Mills. Carolyn has released an album An Enchanted Land, which is a collection of Celtic melodies for Harp, and we’ll hear a few tracks from that album.
We’re also giving a copy of that album away to one of our New Zealand-based listeners. To be in with a chance of winning, simply email us at capitalirish@lpnz.org before 12 noon on Friday 21 April 2023 New Zealand time with the answer to the following question:
On today’s show, we heard The Maids of Mourne Shore played by Carolyn Mills. Andy and Carolyn discussed what other name that tune is well-known as. What was that name?
We will select a winner randomly from among the correct answers and will respond to the winning email to ask for a New Zealand address to post the CD to.
If you miss out on the competition, you can purchase the CD via Atoll Records, or find the album on streaming services such as Spotify, Apple Music and YouTube Music.
This program was also broadcast on Wellington Access Radio with the support of New Zealand on Air.
