Broadcaster Line-Up

Highlander Radio has always been our flagship channel that plays some of the widest range of Celtic music along with an engaging schedule of music, news and specialty programming.

Through the years we have received an incredible amount of music directly from musicians. Everyone has their own interpretation of Celtic music – from traditional, to classics, to original compositions. You are going to hear not only time held classics, but perhaps some songs and sub-music genres you did not expect to hear – but that is what makes Highlander Radio unique and interesting.

To compliment our Highlander Radio broadcast, we stream several current episodes of some really great presenters. Their skills, music selections and stories really do add a lot to the broadcast and provide about 24 hours of programming on a weekly basis.

You can view our broadcast schedule to tune in to these talented folks and see other programs we offer. Visit their sites below to download and listen to their shows if you can’t wait. The content these hosts provide is incredible – we are fortunate to have such seasoned musicians and presenters supporting Celtic music.

The Gothard Sisters

Whether you’re new to Celtic music or an avid fan of the eclectic genre, it’s necessary to add the fabulous The Gothard Sisters to your regular playlist. The talented trio of sisters Greta, Solana, and Willow have over 15 years of creating music together and have performed in many popular venues, including the Kennedy Center and on the Disney Cruise in Europe.

In addition to their tremendous performing schedule, The Gothard Sisters have an impressive 10 albums and over 2,000 shows to their name. There’s no wonder this trio is respected, admired, and continues to thrive as a musical act to this day – especially for Celtic Radio listeners!

As a holiday surprise, The Gothard Sisters have recently released their new album, A Celtic Christmas, right in time for the festive season. Beginning the record is many’s favorite carol, “Angels We Have Heard On High,” which demonstrates the sisters’ ethereal harmonies that come together as one lovely sound. Midway through the record, the Gothard Sisters deliver a jaunty rendition of “I Saw Three Ships” to evoke Christmas joy as we near the holidays. Other standout tracks include an instrumental version of “Deck The Halls” with energetic bliss that all will be delighted to sing and dance along to while opening gifts.

You can visit the Gothard Sisters on CelticRadio.net and request their song during our special “A Celtic Christmas” broadcast.

Celtic Radio

No matter if your Christmas traditions are a dinner with close friends or a morning celebration with your family, A Celtic Christmas includes both classic songs and lively renditions of traditional tunes for all audiences. The Gothard Sisters’ intricate and melodic style is prevalent throughout the album, with celebratory and joyful tracks such as “Here We Come A Caroling” to share a toast with your loved ones on this special day.

Each sister has their own moment to shine within the record, and A Celtic Christmas is guaranteed to be a Christmas staple, whenever the holidays beckon. The Gothard Sisters bring true merriness and brightness to Christmas, and the trio cheerfully invites you to celebrate along with them through song. Five Stars from Celtic Radio!

The New Celtic Radio

It finally happened – the new Celtic Radio is taking shape. Flash back to November 8, 2003 when we purchased CelticMusicRadio.com – alot has happened since those early internet radio days. We’ve always used this address for our mobile website and even created its own bumper sticker and our promotional flyer. It’s just taken us a little time to focus on developing the site!

Does this mean we are shutting down CelticRadio.net? Certainly not. Many members did not want to see CelticRadio.net go away, so we just completed a 6 month project updating all aspects of our legacy music site.

Our goal for Celtic Music Radio is to offer a modern, easy to use and beautifully rendered site for you to listen to your favorite Celtic music. It will work seamlessly on your mobile device or desktop computer. It is going to be quite simple because we get that you want to hear the music quickly and easily.

For now we have our new player available from the Tune-In section, so give us a listen. Starting today our music announcements and news will come from here and over the next several months look for this site to gradually ramp up.

Our new player technology will allow us to do things not possible in the past, such as offering specialty playlists to augment our broadcasts.

As always, we appreciate the support of our members and hope you will find Celtic Music Radio as enjoyable as we will find developing it.
