Show Notes
WE'RE THREEEEEEE!!!!!It was three years ago this week that Mike and Tim took the airwaves by storm and Windy City Irish Radio was born. We have been very blessed to have some outstanding talent join us in studio to help us to entertain you. Join the boys as they look back over the year that was with a retrospective of many of our wonderfully talented in-studio guests. Tune in for music from Chicago troubadour, Bill O'Donoghue, Irish prog-trad-folk-rock band, The Led Farmers, local raconteur, Sean Cleland, the ethereal Aislinn Gagliardi, and singer-songwriter, Kevin Flynn. There's songs from folk legends Makem & Spain, local Irish favorite Joe McShane, our lovely radio sister and session queen, Kathleen Keane with local favorite and The Gloaming guitar man, Dennis Cahill. We have selections from crooner, Michael Whelan, an interview with Sharon Shannon, Chicago rockers Without U2 Chicago U2 Tribute Band and our pal, Michael McDermott.Of course, a year in review would not be complete without contributions from the Bard of Windy City Irish Radio, Rory Makem, Southside folk-rockers, St. Stephen's Green, and Galway's own We Banjo 3. Throughout the year we were treated to a visit and a beautiful reading from our good friend and Our Lady of Knox Avenue, Kathy O'Neill, and commentary from best-selling authors, T.J. English, Timothy Egan, and Sara Baume. If you missed it live, check out the extra-special-expanded 90-minute podcast and tune in for the start of year four next week as we welcome County Clare's hottest band, Socks in the Frying Pan, into the studio on WSBC 1240 AM from 8PM - 9PM. Thank you to all of these wonderful contributors and to all of our loyal sponsors. And most of all, a big thank you to you, our listeners! Onward!
