Greetings one and all! Sara Hillis here to tell you that once again I'm back with three hours of amazing Folk and Celtic music for you not too long from now! Join me live for Come by the hills on Mushroom FM today at 8:00 PM Eastern where we'll hear music from The Real mcKenzies, The High Kings, and we'll pay tribute in song to Nova Scotia on the very sad anniversary of the mass shooting that took place there last year. It will be a great time, and I hope you can come along and hang out!

Greetings! Sara Hillis here to announce the impending arrival of yet another episode of Come by the Hills, Mushroom FM's Folk and Celtic music show! Once again, we'll have three hours of great music and another "come by the Hills Hangout" on Clubhouse. It really is one of the highlights of my week, and I hope it is one of yours as well.

Greetings!

Hello! Sara Hillis here to tell you that once again this week, I've got three hours of Folkish fabulousness for you on Come by the Hills! In just under twelve hours, I'll be live with you once again on the Mighty Mushroom with a mix of great folk and Celtic favourites for your enjoyment! Whether you're winding down on a Sunday or working hard on a Monday, or whenever you're listening, we've got you covered!

Greetings!

Sara Hillis here to tell you about the upcoming episode of Mushroom FM's Folk and Celtic music show, Come by the Hills! The robins began to sing outside my window today, so that means that spring is here. Even if winter returns for a while, I know I heard the robin, so therefore, it's spring! Accordingly, we will be having songs about spring during the show, as well as plenty of other music for your enjoyment.

Faith and bigora! It's that time o' year again when we put on our green togs and lift a glass to the man (a Welshman incidentally) who drove the snakes out of Ireland! It's three hours of Irish-themed music, and it all starts on Sunday at 8:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time. Yes, it's that time o' year again too! We're springing forward here in North America, so the times they are a-changing. Keep on top of all the upcoming time-changes at our schedule page.

Hello again, Sara Hillis just popping round again to say that the show did indeed go on despite the server problems, and there is an archive of all three hours of it that can be found here. Thanks to all who hung in there and reassured me that they were indeed listening when we came back on the air! It was certainly an interesting night!

Yes, Sara Hillis here once again to give you a wee taste of what's coming up on this week's episode of Mushroom FM's premier Folk and Celtic music show! First, we will be broadcasting from the shiny new server, which at this time last week was barely a gleam in the management's eye! (Well, it might have been at least a glimmer.) Also, we'll be playing a few songs in our first hour by a listener-recommended group from England called The Young'uns. We'll hear a sea shanty from tom Lewis, a song about maple syrup (at least tangentially,) and we'll fulfill some requests.

Shw Mae! (Hi!) Sara Hillis yma (here) to tell you that we're going Welsh this week on Come by the Hills in honour of Saint David's Day, which I'm sure has been celebrated at least in some fashion this weekend in Wales, and which actually falls on March 1. I think it's a holiday and everything! We're going to be playing music mostly in the Welsh Language (yn Cymraeg,) but we will not be confining ourselves strictly to Folk music. We have a little bit of music by Harry Secombe, formerly of The goons, as well as some lovely music by Aled Jones, celebrated Welsh Soprano and then later Tenor.

Hello again! Sara Hillis here to tell you that this week's episode of Come by the Hills, the Folk and Celtic Music Show, is brought to you by the letters L and M, and the number 3. Why the number 3? Because we've got three hours of great Folk and Celtic music for your listening pleasure! As for L and M, we're featuring the music of Canadian singer/songwriter Loreena McKennitt, as it was her birthday on February 17. We're also going to feature live music from Loreena McKennitt and other artists, because I think many of us are craving the concert atmosphere about now.
