This was on a radio show in 2009, on WFUV in New York.
The radio show is called "Míle Fáilte" which means a thousand welcomes.
It is presented by Dr Séamus Blake in Irish and English.
He plays Irish music and talks about the meaning of the songs. Surprisingly, he pronounces Celtic as "Selltic".

On January 10th 2009 he played Órlagh singing "Na buachaillí álainn", and also explained the meaning of it.

I have mentioned this on Méav's section, as he also played Méav's recording of "The Waves of Tory"
which was written by her father about Tory Island, Donegal.
In between the songs by Méav and Órlagh, there is a beautiful song "The Love Token" by MacDara,
who is the (drop-dead gorgeous!) brother of Lasairfhíona, one of my favourite singers.

To hear them, go to the following site, read the piece there, then click on "The WUFV Archives" .
Then use the drop-down box "Choose a Show" then "Míle Fáilte".
