Pubcrawl with Charlie Doyle

Charlie Doyle, the Program Host and Manager of the KPTZ Musical Pub, hosted two hours of Celtic and Folk Music, Sunday afternoons from 3 until 5pm. Charlie explored Celtic music from all of the countries that make up the Seven Celtic Nations. Music ranged from a Celtic harper playing an 18th Century tune written by Irishman Turlough O’Carolan, to over-the-top performances from shows like Celtic Woman or Riverdance. Folk singers from around the world were also spotlighted. During each show, there was a humorous interlude where Charlie would deal with a performer of dubious talent who wants to be on the show.
