Music From The Glen
Sunday August 31st, 2025 with Colin Henein
Celebrating Gordon Peeling's 40 years of Music from the Glen
Last week was Gord's swansong after 40 years of hosting Music from the Glen. As I mention on air, I estimate Gord has hosted well over 850 episodes (over 72,000 minutes) of the program. What an achievement!
You can still catch Gord live as part of the Saturday Morning rotation, but for now let's celebrate his contributions and leadership in the Ottawa traditional music space.
