Aidan O’Rourke’s Return Journey

On St Andrew’s Day, Scottish fiddle player Aidan O’Rourke shares his two “Return Journey” tracks - one he met on his travels, and one that reminds him of home. Elsewhere in the show, Kathryn Tickell presents the finest in roots-based music from around including a new heart-warming song from Puerto Rican artist Esot​é​rica Tropical about the relationship with her grandmother and a piece combining North African melodies and electronics from DIDON, a Tunisian-American duo featuring the voice of Meriem Ben Amor and the production of Carmen Rizzo.
