Air ‘Ceòl ’s Craic @ Celtic Music Radio’ na seachdain sa bidh sinn a’ cur fàilte air dithis luchd ciùil aig a bheil àite sònraichte ann an coimhearsnachd ciùil baile Ghlaschu.

Ma tha duine air ‘Lazy Line Painter Jane’ le Belle and Sebastian a chluinntinn tha fhios aca sa bhad gu bheil rudeigin sònraichte mu dheidhinn guth seinn na tè a tha air a’ chlàr sin.

Tha Monica Queen tric air a samhlachadh ri Emmylou Harris san dòigh a tha an guth aice comasach air faireachdainn a chur an cèill ann an dòigh a tha gun samhail – ceòlmhor, làidir agus mothachail. A bharrachd air co-obrachadh le Belle and Sebastian tha Monica cuideachd air seinn còmhla ri cuid dhe na h-ainmean as motha ann an saoghal ceòl pop bho Snow Patrol gu Shane McGowan bho Na Pogues.

Tha i fhèin agus an neach-ciùil Johhny Smillie air a bhith ag obair còmhla airson grunn bhliadhnaichean a-nis agus tha cruinneachadh de shàr chlàran air tighinn a-mach as a cho-obrachadh sin. Cluinnear buaidh a’ mheas a tha aig an dithis aca air Neil Young agus Crazy Horse agus a leithid sa cheòl aca ach tha an dithis seo comasach air ceòl a tha a’ togail air raon farsaing de ghnèthan ciùil a thoirt a-steach air na clàraidhean aca.

Tha sinn a’ gabhail fiughar ri cluinntinn tuilleadh mu dheidhinn sin bho Johhny is Monica air Ceòl ’s Craic @ Celtic Music Radio eadar 6 is 7 uairean feasgar Diluain air 95FM agus air loidhne aig www.celticmusicradio.net .

‘Ceòl ’s Craic @ Celtic Music Radio’ will be welcoming two musicians to the studio this week who have a special place in the Glasgow music community.

Anyone who has heard ‘Lazy Line Painter Jane’ by Belle and Sebastian will recognise the unique contribution of the female vocalist on that track.

Monica Queen is often likened to Emmylou Harris with whom she shares a singing style that conveys a range and depth of emotion – soulful, sensitive and always compelling.

As well as collaborating with Belle and Sebastian, Monica has also performed with some of the most prominent and successful acts in pop music from Snow Patrol to Shane McGowan of The Pogues.

Musician and producer Johhnny Smillie has worked extensively with Monica and the success of this collaboration is evident in the excellent recordings released over the years both as ‘Thrum’ their Neil Young and Crazy Horse inspired band as well as on Monica’s solo records.

Join us for a live music session featuring Monica and Johnny on Monday at 6.00pm for ‘Ceòl ’s Craic @ Celtic Music Radio’ on 95FM and online at www.celticmusicradio.net
