Musiksendung

A second round of tunes from past programmes, and a few new ones too, as a way to say a fond farewell to the old Radio Helsinki.. whose mixing desk I had kind of got the hang of, and to welcome in the new studio in Schoenaugasse 8 - full of new.. and cool but scary digital radio technology! This Friday's playlist is once again/as always(!) an eclectic mix and includes some Irish, Portuguese, American, and French sounds. 34 year old amazingly talented Bulgarian composer Dobrinka Tabakova ends the show. 
As usual helsinki.at/livestream CET 18.00-19.00. Wir sehen uns

“ Between the Jigs and the Reels” – what’s in a name?!

“ Between the jigs and the reels” is an expression in Irish-English to mean “ between one thing and another”.
However and also importantly - in Irish traditional music a ‘jig’ and a ‘reel’ are two types of dances. A jig has three beats in a bar. A reel has four beats in a bar.

Irish culture tip no.1 – the first of many!
