Welcome to the Irish Radio Canada Website.
We are proud to share our Internet Radio Station. In 2005 we commenced
On-Air broadcasting with CHIN 97.9FM producing and presenting The Gaelic
Hour as a weekly show. in Sept 2016 we launched this new format.
You can now enjoy a selection of music every day and we will be able to
expand on the number of hours of interviews, as time goes on.
I would like to encourage you to submit your music selection and
hopefully I can find what you like in my library.
The Archives section of the site will continue to provide access to the
Gaelic Hour shows since 2006. Twitter, Facebook page and group will
become more relevant in communicating and I hope to increase the use of
Instagram as time goes on.
If you have some suggestions, please visit the contact page and send on
your ideas.
The 11 years on air have been fun, but the effort in raising the large
sum required to buy the time has become more onerous and the online
station offers the opportunity to increase content and reduce costs.
You can listen to the station using a variety of tools. The player on
this page may be the simplest. The links below provide additional
choices of players. Also, you can use your Smart Speaker to ask Alexa or
Google for "Irish Radio Canada from TuneIn"
I hope you enjoy and continue to listen.

In 1973, a couple of young Canadian dreamers abandoned their more conventional lives in North America on a whim to join a generation of adventure seekers on the Hippie Trail. Hitch a ride with Mary and Padraig in their VW camper van as the newlyweds travel through Europe and West Asia on The Road Once Taken. Pit stops include their Greek wedding on donkeys, sickness and health in Afghanistan and India, and a brief but comfortable detainment at an Iranian clinic while border guards scoured their van for contraband.
Departing from the banks of Miramichi, New Brunswick, this tale is an odyssey as told through Mary's vividly whimsical travel journal and Padraig's captivating photographs that reaches a crescendo in the mountains of Kathmandu, Nepal. It's not about the voyage, it's the road that you take to get there.
The Asia Overland hippie trail was the great journey of the Sixties and Seventies. Between 1964 and 1979 hundreds of thousands of young Americans, Canadians, Brits, Europeans, Aussies and Kiwis traveled from Istanbul to India (Goa) and Nepal (Kathmandu). This group brings those Intrepid travelers together, and encourages the sharing of stories and photographs, and perhaps even the discovery of great trips, old flames and even new love.
Membership to the group requires responses to several questions and to agree to the Group Rules. If questions are answered, and rules are not accepted within a reasonable time, the request will be denied. Once in the group, please do not to spam the group or do any direct or inferred product promotion. If so the posts will be deleted and the member removed.
