Christmas is coming to Mushroom FM, and Come by the Hills is no exception. Join me after the big countdown and Christmas party for a Celtic and Folky festival of Yuletide spirit! We've got carols, songs and even Dylan Thomas! How can you go wrong?

We won't be live this week, but we're bringing the cheer to you as we do every year at about this time. That's Sunday night at 8:00 PM Eastern, replayed on Friday at 4:00 AM. The archive is also available at http://www.mushroomfm.com/sarahillis. Enjoy and merry Christmas!

Yes, we're back live this week with another edition of Come by the Hills. Join me tonight at 8:00 PM Eastern for new music from Judy Collins--yes, you heard it right!--, music from Newfoundland Folk band The Dardanelles by listener request, and more festive favourites with a wintry theme as we are approaching the official beginning of Northern Hemisphere Winter. We'll also have Tolkien-themed music from me featuring the Celtic harp, and of course we'll have a great time as always.

Yes, once again this sunday, Mushroom FM's Four Decades format will be invaded by those crazy folk-fiends as I bring you three hours of great Celtic and Folk music on Come by the Hills! We'll have some new music from me, some more of our festive repertoire, and of course the general merriment that goes along with the best virtual kitchen party on the planet, or well, at least on Mushroom FM. The show won't be live this week as I'm otherwise engaged that night, but it will be new and it will be fun.

Yes, it's Sunday in Mushroom Land, and that means it's time for some great Celtic and Folk music on come by the Hills. Tonight at 8:00 PM Eastern, I'll present three hours of great music live on the air. We'll play a few songs from Canadian band Spirit of the West, as their lead singer John Mann died earlier this week, and we'll generally have a great time as we always do.

usually I don't do my promo post for Come by the Hills until later in the week, but I'm too excited to wait this time!

I love it when things come together in such a way that a show sort of arrives fully formed almost before I've even begun planning it. This is what happened just recently.

Yes, once again, I have an encore presentation of MushroomFM's premier Celtic music show for you. it's three hours of great Celtic and Folk music with a Remembrance Day focus that was originally aired on November 11, 2018. We'll hear songs honouring fallen soldiers and telling stories from both World Wars, and we'll explore more modern attitudes toward this day through music as well.

So join me for this very special encore presentation, lest we forget.

Yes, we're back this weekend with another episode of Mushroom FM's premier Celtic music show, and as Halloween is almost upon us, we'll be spending three hours in the land of fairies, elves and other mythical creatures. We'll have songs about ghosts and mysterious visitations, as well as songs about betrayal and tragedy of a very numan kind.

Yes, it's almost that time again, time to join Mushroom FM for three hours of great Celtic and Folk music on Come by the Hills. I'll be spinning tunes from an array of different artists and bands to satisfy your Folk fix, and to help my Canadian listeners to while away the eve of our Federal election in fine style!.

Yes, it's Thanksgiving here in Canada and we'll be feasting on three hours of Folk and Celtic music once again on Mushroom FM! We've got quite a range of bands and artists for you this week, some modern and some not-so-modern, and generally, we'll have a great time. So whether you're gorging on pumpkin pie or not, be sure to leave room for Come by the Hills!

Yes, it's almost that time again, time for three hours of great Celtic and Folk music on Come by the Hills, Mushroom FM's premier Celtic music show!
