Hello,
I signed up because I hear a great track too often and always forget to look up the title.
You played something just now; I believe I caught the name as Martin Scott w/ female vocalist, you had said something about celtic influences mixed with bengali percussion, I believe.
I was pulling in to my driveway and trying to type it up on my phone as fast as possible, but no luck.
Please help!

Hi! Going by the date and time of your post that would have been my show (Saturday night the 14th). But it’s possible the time and date posted here are incorrect. Anyway, I don’t have anything on my playlist matching your description. Can you tell me any other details about how the song sounded? In the meantime, here’s what I played from about 9:15 to 9:45 Saturday evening:

Hope this helps!

Yeah, it was definitely the Saturday show but, the sound is a bit fuzzy now.
All I can remember is the host talking about the composer being male (something, Scott) with guest female vocalist; something about celtic inspirations and some foreign nation supplying either the drummers or the ideas for them.

That Scott Ainsle selection sounds a promising lead, I’ll do some digging and post back whether I found it or not.

It’s appears I might have the wrong station all together, though.
I believe the host was male.

Does your show broadcast through NPR 88.9 in Luzerne County?

Edit: Did some checking. It’s not Scott Ainsle.
