the Strange World of Ashley MacIsaac

from The Canadian Gothic · host CanadianGothic / Curiouscast

In this episode, we are going to be joined by one of the more colourful characters to ever grace Canada's music charts.  Our guest is as well known for his awe-inspiring talents on the fiddle as he is for the strange stories and controversy scattered throughout his 30 year career. If you followed Canadian music in the 90s, you know Ashley Macisaac.  His 1995 album 'Hi how are you today' went double platinum and in the process helped bring about a sort of renaissance for the fiddle and Celtic music.  This episode however won't be about Ashley Macissac's impact on popular music and it won't be about his various public relations missteps that shocked and appalled many of his more traditional fans.  Ashley MacIsaac is joining me here on Nighttime to speak publicly for the first time about something very personal and very important to him.  UFOs are, and have been, a part of his life since childhood.  Buckle up and get ready for a bumpy ride through the strange world of Ashley MacIsaac.  Links: Nightcap post show discussion: Patreon.com/nighttimepodcast Ashley MacIsaac on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FiddlerAshleyMacIsaac Ashley MacIsaac’s appearance on Conan': https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tIT8VuZ92c Join the UFOs Above Canada Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/ufosabovecanada Ashley MacIsaac's ‘Sleepy Maggie’: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aoApELfgWcg Ashley MacIsaac’s ‘MacDougall’s Pride’: https://youtu.be/PUBCoukhtQE Ashley MacIsaac’s ‘Bitch’: https://youtu.be/yqTn87UXwa8 Report a Canadian UFO Sighting: https://www.nighttimepodcast.com/report-a-canadian-ufo-sighting Credits: Musical Theme: Blunted to Deaf by Fortnite Beats Contact: Website: https://www.nighttimepodcast.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/NightTimePod Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NightTimePod Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nighttimepod Email: [email protected] Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/nighttimepodcast Premium Feed: https://www.patreon.com/Nighttimepodcast Learn more about your ad choices.
