Well, the excitement of the 3-day Novel Contest being over, I have no further excuse to recycle our episodes, unless of course I want to boost Mushroom FM's reputation for environmental ethics, which, I hasten to add, needs no boosting whatsoever. This is all just a very convoluted way of saying that I've got a new Come by the Hills episode for you on Sunday at 8:00 PM Eastern. All our features are firmly in place, including a Celtic Cover I've been thinking about for some time now and a cracking set for Fiddlin' Around by Patrick Street!

Join me on Sunday for an encore presentation of Come by the Hills from September 2, 2018! It'll be great, including some moments of unexpected silence when I failed to realize that a track I played had some of those annoying bonus tracks tacked onto the end of it. Remember when those hidden tracks on CDs were a thing? Despite my inadvertent homage to Simon and Garfunkel, there'll be the usual lot of great music and interesting banter.

Yes, we're back for another week with great Celtic and Folk music. There was a bumper crop of Folk-related dramas and documentaries on the BBC IPlayer this week, so I'll be discussing those and playing all our usual features. So, join me tonight at 8:00 PM Eastern, or check out the replay on Friday at 4:00 AM Eastern, 9:00 AM in the UK and Ireland. There's also an archive of past shows available at http://www.mushroomfm.com/sarahillis. Tune in and enjoy!

August 21 is an auspicious day! Not only is it Bonnie Mosen's birthday, but it is also the third anniversary of the first episode of Mushroom Fm's premier Celtic music show, Come by the Hills! So, this Sunday, we'll be reflecting and remembering, playing music that got me interested in the Celtic sound in the first place (almost 25 years ago now), and generally having an awesome time!

Yes, Mushroom Fm's premier Celtic music show is back for another week. Never mind that it's Mushroom Fm's only Celtic music show. Go big or Go home, I say. Accordingly, we'll be coming to you again on Sunday at 8:00 PM Eastern, right after Airplay Rewind, with three hours of folky favourites from around the world, with a healthy dose of Canadian music in the mix as usual. We'll be revisiting a lovely Beatles cover in honour of the recently-announced Abbey Road remix which is due to come out this September, and in general, it'll be a great time as always.

Yes, we're back for another week of great Celtic and Folk music. Join me on Sunday at 8:00 PM Eastern for all our usual features and a lot of other amazing tunes! We'll give a nod to my new passion, the game of Cricket and The Ashes tournament between England and Australia, but only a slight one. Really, it'll just be three hours of awesome artists and brilliant bands as usual.

Yes, we're back for another three hours of great Celtic music, all our features in place and everything ship shape for a great time! Catch all the awesomness on Sunday at 8:00 PM Eastern, or listen to the replay on Friday at 4:00 AM Eastern. Also, don't forget the archive, which is available at http://www.mushroomfm.com/sarahillis. however and whenever you listen, I hope you'll enjoy it!

Yes, Sunday is coming around again, and this Sunday at 8:00 PM Eastern, it's haggis in July on Come by the Hills, Mushroom Fm's premier Celtic music show! Yes! This week, we present an encore presentation of the 2019 Robby Burns special which was first aired on January 27th. It was a live show, and I thought it might be fun to relive those heady days when the show was alive Alive-O! Who knows? It may be that way again someday. However, till then, we have our memories. Don't we?

Yes, Sunday is fast approaching once again, and that means that it'll soon be time to get out the fiddles, whistles and pipes and settle down for three solid hours of even more solid (solidly awesome!) Celtic music on Come by the Hills! We have all our usual features and even a special request. We've got some new songs (to the show at least,) and some old show favourites as well. So, hang out with me on Sunday at 8:00 PM Eastern for great Celtic music, or catch the replay on Friday at 4:00 AM Eastern, 9:00 AM in the UK and Ireland. Also, don't forget the archive!

Yes, it's almost time for another brand new episode of Mushroom Fm's premier Celtic Music show, known round here as Come by the Hills. This week, as well as our usual features, we'll be showing off both the vocal and instrumental talents of artists and bands from around the folk and Celtic world. It promises to be a great show as always, so I hope you'll come out and join the folk revolution!
