Irish Programmes at All Stations for St. Patrick's Day

=» EXT week will be Irish week at the Stations. That being so, one may appropriately say that the ether will never have been so full of Irish airs before. St. Patrick’s Day happens next week and the songs of the Emerald Isle which will monopolise the programmes at the stations on various nights will permeate New Zealand. All Eia8|} stations will broadcast Irish entertainments on Saturday, St. Patrick’s Day, and in dition 1YA and 3YA have special Irish programmes, the former on Tuesday and the latter on Thursday. At 1A Madame Irene Ainsley is producing "The Lily of Killarney" and at 3YA Madame Gower-Burns’s Grand Opera Quartet is submitting a very attractive Irish programme. High in the esteem of all who love Irish songs stands Tom Moore, who by frequently writing his poems to traditional airs did much to keep the melodies in circulation among the people. Everyone knows "The Minstrel Boy," that song of burning patriotism, "The Harp That Once Through Tara’s Halls," "Kathleen Mavourneen," "Killarney." These, and many others will be broadcast next week. , MMU UU UT LECTION
