No sooner have we marked the coming of spring than you might have found yourself being wished a happy Beltane today; the first day of May is considered the first day of summer in Celtic tradition. Whether you’re giving thanks for spring or summer, there’s little doubt that things are greening outside — and we celebrate that on this week’s Extra Eclectic, with music by Tansy Davies, Zho Long, Zibuokle Martinaityte and more.
