The first of May, otherwise known as May Day, might be the perfect holiday for Come by the Hills, as it is both a celebration of fertility and life as well as a celebration of workers' rights around the world, thus bridging the two major types of music featured on the show: music from the Celtic lands as well as music firmly rooted in union and worker culture. This week, I have a May Day episode for you from 2025, so if you hear discussions of May the Fourth, don't freak out. It's just a rerun.

The "Juke In The Back" focuses on the " soul that came before rock n' roll," the records that inspired Elvis, Buddy Holly, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and countless others.
After you've enjoyed The Variety Vault with Paul Merrell, Wednesday afternoon from 2 to 4 PM, don't touch that dial, device, PC, Mac, smart speaker or tablet and join me for The Early Years, where and when you'll hear the best music from the first quarter century of Rock with occasional nods to other decades and genres.
This week on Deep Dive we enjoy the talents of Australian country and western singer John Williamson. We meet old man emu, a Mallee boy, and we celebrate the baggy green.
It was Anzac day in Australia and New Zealand last week. On this day we recognise the sacrifice made by many men and women in the armed forces, so True Blue is a most appropriate song to play.
Hello! Sara Hillis here to let you know about the upcoming episode of Come by the Hills, the Folk and Celtic music show on Mushroom FM! This week, as well as playing the usual mix of great Folk and Celtic music you've come to expect, I've got a bit of a tribute to Men of the Deeps, the Nova Scotia-based choir made up of former coal-miners, on the occasion of the launch of their sixtieth anniversary tour!

It’s Jonathan Mosen, excitedly inviting you to join me for a Mosen Explosion done the way we used to do it, live, interactive and unpredictable. So hark! Hark I say! As we harken back to days of yore. And you might say, “days of my what”? To which I reply, “not your, mate! Yore!”

I continue the theme I started last week, songs about vegetables. It will take another complete show and part of one next week.
