Rivers, Kings, Mulls, Maids and Men, this Week on Come by the Hills!

Hello! Sara hillis here once again, letting you know that I'm back this week with another antic edition of Come by the Hills, the Folk and Celtic Music Show! I think it's safe to say that our collection of music this week is ecclectic, to say the least. We've got songs about rivers, a couple of Mulls (yes, including a certain Mull we all know and love here at Mushroom FM,) a few songs about kings, some songs about maids, and to even things out, a few songs about men.

Celebrating Seven Years of Folk and Celtic Fun, this Week on Come by the Hills!

Way back on August 8, 2016, I wrote this:

"Exciting news! The Celts will soon be invading the home of the fun guys! For three hours every Sunday night, jigs, reels and balads will be the order of the day as I serve up the best in Celtic music from around the world. Not only will I be playing traditional favourites which defined the genre, but also new songs inspired by tradition which have changed it forever.

There will be lots of fun features for you to enjoy, interesting info about your favourite artists and groups, and of course plenty of room for your requests.

Come by the Hills Comes Your Way Live this Week!

Hello! Sara Hillis here with great news! Come by the Hills is coming to you live this week after many weeks of pre-recorded shows!

How exactly will the show play out? We won't know until it's on the air!

Remembering Stan Rogers, this Week on Come by the Hills

Greetings! Once again, it's time for our annual Stan Rogers special on Come by the Hills, the Folk and Celtic music show. This year is especially poignant, as we've reached another milestone since his death on June 2nd, 1983, as this year marks the 40th anniversary of that sudden and sad event. So, in true Canadian folky fashion, we will be playing three hours of Stan's music with exerpts from a documentary called "One Warm Line: The Legacy of Stan Rogers." We'll also have a radio play that he worked on for the CBC as part of the show.
