Hello! Sara Hillis here to let you know about this week's episode of Come by the Hills. As well as playing the usual mix of great Folk and Celtic music, we'll be featuring some songs by Canadian musician Ian Tamblyn, who was recently made a member of the Order of Canada.

In the 23 years I’ve been doing live Internet radio, new year shows have been a common feature. In fact, my very first live Internet radio show was a new year party in 1998. While I haven’t done a new year show every year, it has become something of a tradition and this will be the 13th consecutive live new year show from Mosen Towers.
