WCUW Celtic Music

Pictured below is Peter Maguire. Peter is originally from the north of Ireland and has been living in Massachusetts for a number of years. A stonemason by trade (and a good one), he is also a terrific musician and has played Irish traditional music with many of the legends of the music on both sides of the Atlantic. When he is not creating chimneys, hearths or visiting places like Tierra Del Fuego and Japan, he spends a lot of time exploring cemeteries in the Boston area seeking out the burial places of Irish and Irish American musicians and notables. Oh! And Peter also has an incredible collection of Irish music recordings from America from last century and an expansive knowledge of the musicians.

He will be my guest this coming Saturday on The Four Green Fields on WCUW 91.3. The show airs from 9:00 am until noon and if you are outside of our signal range you can tune in at wcuw.org. Please join us for music and banter on what promises to be an interesting, informative show.
