Coming up on 21st January : Texan Musician Aaron McDonnell
Aaron and his wife Dani will be joining me on 21st january, a show not to miss. Also in the studio will e singer/promoter Kerry Fearon
Singer and guitarist Aaron McDonnell was born and raised in Oregon's rural Willamette Valley to a mill-working father and a God-fearing mother. He bought his first guitar, a knock-off Telecaster, when he was 15 years old and proceeded to learn everything from Garth Brooks to Nirvana, however it was the sound of the oldger generation that captured his imagination; George Jones, Johnny Cash, and Conway Twitty songs drifted from the radios and turntables of his grandmothers' kitchens and living rooms. This heritage is alive and well in McDonnell's earnest and straightforward songs, and strong, clear baritone.
"Hi Desi,
Thanks very much for your continuing support of independently-made music. It’s greatly appreciated!
Best wishes from Scotland.
Kind regards,
Martin

It's always a joy to be a guest on Dessie's For Folk Sake programme! It has a distinct homely, living-room feel to it and I particularly enjoy the chance to talk with Dessie about songs that others have written as well as my own. This programme is a balm to the soul in the midst of this noisy world we're in! - Eilidh Patterson
'Appearing on For Folk Sake is always a reminder of how the best music radio should be... a totally relaxed one-on-one chat with a presenter who shares your passion for good music, and who knows what he's talking about. It's always a pleasure.'
