It's time once again to mark Remembrance Day on Mushroom Fm's premier Celtic Music show. We have several folk songs in honour of both World Wars as well as some very special poetry from a poet called Jack White, who once held the position of Regimental Bard with the Regimental Pipes and Drums of the Calgary Highlanders. I hope you'll join me as we join with millions of people around the world to commemorate the hundredth anniversary of the end of the First World War and pay tribute to those who have fought in other wars over the years.

Since 2012, The Mosen Explosion has been celebrating the 50th anniversary of each Beatles album's release. Now it's time to celebrate the Beatles most eclectic album in style, their self-titled double album, which, because of its cover, has become known as The White Album.

Please to remember the fourth of November... No, wait! That's not right, but what is right is that on Guy Fawkes Eve, there'll be Celtic music for the asking on Mushroom Fm's Premier Celtic Music Show! All our usual features are back, and we'll have three hours of folkish fun. Best of all, if you're in a part of North America which is switching to standard time this weekend, it'll feel like the show is on an hour earlier than usual. So, take advantage of the time change and hang out with us for a while.
