We have encountered some issues with the manufacturer that produces the HD Radio equipment needed to complete our upgrades on WBAA Jazz 101.3 FM HD2. Unfortunately, WBAA Jazz HD2 will be off the air until the end of January. This has not impacted WBAA News AM 920 or WBAA Classical 101.3 FM. You can still listen to WBAA Jazz online at wbaa.org/listen-on-air and with the WBAA app. Thank you for your patience as we make these essential upgrades.

Look to Ireland, Scotland and North America and you will find that there have never been more youngsters playing Celtic music than there are right now. It's very cool to be learning fiddle, pipes, harp and mandolin with performance standards continuing to rise across a wide range of instruments and vocal traditions. Catch a glimpse of the exciting future of Celtic music with Fiona Ritchie as she features artists including Sgoil Chiùil na Gàidhealtachd, Caroline Keane and The Shee.
