William Ramoutar is a native of Ennis, County Clare, Ireland, who settled in Jacksonville, Florida in the 1980’s. He has been doing live radio for sixteen years. According to William’s MySpace page: "Ceol, Caint agus Craic….. Music, Talk and Fun! There is nothing like sitting down and just talking to friends, family, acquaintances or even strangers. I know however, that I can be too much, so I have learned to listen more and be careful not to yak too much. Although for some people, I probably am still too much! I think talking is our greatest gift from yer Mon upstairs. My favourite thing of all though is passing "The Music" on to people who have yet to discover it! Music, Irish Music, Scottish Music, in fact all Celtic Music. But then I have been a music lover my whole life, so I have music from every musical genre." Here is William’s latest recommendation of a great singer and music video:
Mary Dillon and Déanta – Clothes Of Sand
