Honoured with Lifetime Achievement Awards from both the North American Folk Music Alliance and the Radio 2 Folk Awards, US singer-songwriter Tom Paxton ranks among the wisest, wittiest and most enduring voices of his generation.

An early champion of original songwriting amidst the traditional folk revival of the 1960s, author of such classics as ‘Can’t Help But Wonder Where I’m Bound’, ‘Ramblin’ Boy’ and ‘The Last Thing On My Mind’, Paxton has seen his work covered by artists from Willie Nelson to Placido Domingo, but remains his own most winning interpreter.

Described by the Herald as ‘The most soulful singer to emerge in Irish traditional music in the past decade’, ex-Solas vocalist Karan Casey allies her delicate yet passionate tones to an expanding range of traditional, contemporary and original material.

She’ll be airing new tracks from her imminent fourth solo album, accompanied by Kate Ellis (cello), Caoimhín Vallely (piano), Robbie Overson (guitar) and Liz Knowles (fiddle).
