It's a Musical Melange, this Week on Come by the Hills!

On the next edition of Come by the Hills, I'm focusing on a mix of things. Firstly, in honour of the upcoming eclipse, I'll have songs about the sun, songs about the moon, and even some songs about the stars for good measure. I'll also share a few dancing songs, again in honour of the dance of the sun, the moon and the earth and how amazing it is, and I'll have a few songs featuring the name Mary in honour of the Julian Calendar celebration of the Christian feast of the Annunciation. I also have a request to fulfill, and you just never know what might happen as the show goes on.

It's a 2020 Encore, this Week on Come by the Hills!

Hello! Sara Hillis popping round again to let you know what's coming up on this week's edition of Come by the Hills the Folk and Celtic music show. This week, it's a visit to the archives for a very special show that I did in March of 2020. It features a house concert given by me, and was a really fun show to do. So bear in mind that the promos may be out-of-date, and we'll be revisiting the beginning of the pandemic as well. So there we have it. I hope you find it interesting, and I'll be back with you live next week, all things being equal.
