Seven people from the McGarrigle family and friends liked a picture of me with a tray of Kate McGarrigle's special christmas biscuit recepie that I put in the K&A McGarrigle Facebook group. Anna & Jane McGarrigle & Lily Lanken all left hearts. This is the firthest reach I've had for any of my posts there and I am so happy about it it's ridicoules.

Also, Anna's spous Dane literally shared my birthday video for his wife on his own fscebook page. It's now permanently plastered on there for all their friends and family to see. I nearly died.

Among all the fans and friends wishing Anna McGarrigle a happy birthday, her closest does like to have a bit of fun with it.

Her husband Dane seems to have forgotten it entierly - thought there are some 300+ other people willing to remind him!

Her old friend and distant in-law (Nephews wife's dad) Peter suggests she's celebrated a few times already this year - to which another friend remarked her memory was so bad she forgot.

McGarrigle Radio Broadcasts

A list of Kate & Anna McGarrigle radio broadcasts. Some include interview segments, some are just music. At the bottom there is a sub section for Anna after Kate died.

Includes a small review of each & it's content.

Möte med Kate & Anna McGarrigle/Meeting with Kate & Anna McGarrigle - Sveriges Radio, 1977

Review: the pros of this one is that it's very short - barely 7 minutes, but the downside is that there is no live performance. It is only a short interview segment with a narrator providing info about the sisters inbetween. There is some music but it's all the album-cuts. Note: While the page above is in Swedish, the recorded content is in english

The McGarrigle Sisters on Mountain Stage - NPR radio, 1989

Review: A very nice performance with phenomenal sound quality. A good mix of classics and currents at the time. No French, only Complaint. The bulk of the show is their kids stepping in to sing some Stephen Foster and some traditional stuff. Only downside is that the sound is very flat - there is definatly not 'live' feeling to it.

The McGarrigle Sisters on KCRW radio's "Morning becomes eclectic", hosted by Liza Richardson - February 26th, 1997

Review: The sound quality on this one is sub par, sadly. There's some background noise/disturbances at times, and it sounds very 'bulky'. The performance itself however is the best among the bunch. The interview segments are witty and full of McGarrigle humor and charm. Rufus steps in to back on 'Complainte Pour Ste Cathrine", and there are several very intimate and touching renditions of songs from Matapedi. Has a wonderfull "Live" feel to it that I love.

The Songs of Wade Hemsworth - CBC Radio, 2016 / original broadcast 1977 (archive material)

Review: A podcast made up of archive material from CBC regarding Canadian Singer-songwriter Wade Hemsworth, including a ca 20 min clip with Kate & Anna from the 1977 where they perform some of his best songs. The vocals are absolutely stunning and their lonesome rendition of "Wild Goose" will make you want to cry. Or dramatically starr out a window. Other songs featured are "Log Driver's Waltz" and "Land of the Muskeg (And Shining Birch Tree)".

Other musicians that feature in K&A's performance on backing are Dane Lanken, Chaim Tannenbaum and Pat Donalson.

Anna McGarrigle only:

Anna McGarrigle: On life without her sister - May 11th, 2011

Review: You will cry like a baby. Seriously. Anna breaks every heart including her own describing life without her sister. She also talks about the strangeness of just being a functioning person without someone you've basically had tied to your hip since she was born. They were functioning as twins, the 14 months between them not withstanding. It's horrible and so good. Be a masochist, listen to it. I know you want to.

Polarize Prise Podcast Ep. 3 - 2016 Slaight Family Heritage Prize pt. 1

Review: A really good, insightfull interview with Anna. She doesn't tend to be very talkative on her own and just answer direct questions. Here, however she moves along, sentence by sentence stuttering and stummbling along through one story after an other with little prompting. Her personality is as lovely as always, suitably embaressed and laughing nervously all along.

This interview contains some rare stories about Kates time with Roma Baran in the late 60s, some unusual insight into her thoughts and feelings while being inserted music industry in the 70s, etc. Lots of very rare info/stories to be heared. Really, it's just lovely and cute like Anna herself.
