It was a sad weekend as many of us bade farewell to Senator Edward Kennedy. He will be missed my so many. It was a beautiful send off though. I wrote a short piece for Facebook on the day after I heard the news about my own personal feelings about this giant of a man. Check it out here . It was truly one of the great honours of my life to be in the same room with a man who changed the world for the better. 

The Podcast of the show is up a little late this week but if you managed to catch the show on ICR I hope you enjoyed the music. For those of you who wait for the archive stream on JigTime or the podcast, then I think you are in for a treat. Music on the show from Colin Hay, Cara Dillon, Bela Fleck and more. 

Don't forget next week is Show number 50. So join me as I celebrate the music of my Facebook friends.  So you can expect music from Ciaran Tourish, John Doyle, Pauline Scanlon, Sharon Shannon and many more. So do tune in later this week to ICRFM.ie
