In this episode, Aoife is joined by fiddle-player Martin Hayes. Martin has chosen a selection of music for us to play on the programme, which, for him, are formative recordings and ones to which he returns all the time.

The Rolling Wave celebrates all that is great about Irish Traditional music. We speak to musicians, delve into archives, showcase new releases and visit some of the many traditional music festivals taking place around the country. The Rolling Wave podcast brings you some of our best interviews and features. For rights reasons the music here is shorter than in the original broadcast.
