Three Day Threshold’s founding member, Kier Byrnes, has had some diverse gigs over the years.  He’s performed at the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville, at the Master Distiller (and great grandson) of Jim Beam’s house for a private show, a military base on the Iraq border to US troops and even at prison in Holland.  His odd experiences go hand in hand his band’s music, which is also an eclectic combination of gypsy, Americana, Celtic and country rock.

The Kitchen Party Ceilidh, Indianapolis’ only homegrown Celtic-music radio program, will be moving to WICR the Diamond, 88.7 FM in Indianapolis.  The first broadcast on WICR will be on Sunday, March 5, at 10:00 PM.

The Kitchen Party Ceilidh went on the air on July 19, 2013, and was originally aired on WITT FM 91.9, an Indianapolis community radio station, until June 30, 2016, and has continued as a podcast since then.  The show’s March 5 debut on WICR will be the 189th episode. “I really couldn’t be more thrilled about the move to WICR,” says Dave Bagdade, the Kitchen Party Ceilidh’s host and producer.  “Doing the show as a podcast was rewarding in its own way, but I’m a fan of broadcast radio. WITT’s station master, Jim Walsh, was a great promoter of the show and I’ll always be grateful to him, but I can’t help but be excited about moving to a station with a fifty-plus year history and a much bigger broadcast area.”
