We get to know the region through its culture, history, and legends.  But at the end of September, we’re invading Scotland’s Whisky distilleries in between hiking throughout the country. It’s gonna be epic. You can join us with an auditory and visual adventure through podcasts and videos.

American by birth, my heritage unknown. Twas two years ago on a musical journey My heart flew to Ireland on the wings of a note. * O Ireland, how I long for your valleys and mountains! How I long to see your hills and streams. From my home 'cross the ocean, I hear your voice singing, "Happy Birthday from Ireland, my child of the green! La la laa, la di la laa, la laa di la la Happy Birthday from Ireland, my child of the green!" My Da played the tunes on squeezebox and fiddle. And the songs they were tuned to the harp in my soul. St Paddy, ye never told me that I was Irish. 'Till I heard your voice singing, bringing me home. Now two years have passed and Ireland sings with me. In every song that flows from my voice and from harp. But I see your eyes smiling and your arms wide open. From the way your children open their hearths and their hearts 22:46 - SUPPORT THE CLUB The show is brought to you by my supporters on Patreon.
