Welcome to Transmusic Airwaves - it’s unconventional free-form radio, with guest host Mark Orlandi.

Today’s show celebrates the upcoming vernal equinox and return of the season of light. We’re doing it with a North Atlantic tip of the hat to Celtic heritage, stone circles, St Andrew and St Patrick.
