On august 21, 2016, a little show called Come by the Hills made its debut on Mushroom FM! It was primarily a Celtic music show, but as time went on, other Folk elements began to creep in.

Tonight's the night to celebrate eight years of this crazy little show, and I hope you'll join me for three hours of Folkish fun!
