Among this week's featured artists is folk quartet The Poozies.

Hebridean tweed-workers' songs, rowing songs, hiking songs, mouth music — in all these, lyrics take a backseat to integral rhythms. Hear how music lightens workloads and keeps the singers going.

This week's episode of The Thistle & Shamrock includes music from John Cunningham, The Poozies, Capercaillie, Ossian and more.
