Week 38 (#2156)
We remember some highlights from across The Thistle & Shamrock’s four decades: 1980s concerts with Battlefield Band, 1990s Irish Festivals at Wolftrap, visits with American folk legends Jean Ritchie and Pete Seeger in the 2000s, and Carnegie Hall’s 2019 Migrations Festival. So many great musical memories!
