Alan Day Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 (edited) I have just watched the first of a new Folk programme on BBC4 called "The Highland Sessions"54439164 It is advertised as Scottish and Irish Gaelic music.It featured as one of the backing musicians Nial Vallely. I can recommend this programme,excellent music and singing. Do not miss it. Al Edited November 11, 2005 by Alan Day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Mark Go down to Hillsborough or Sheffield and take your pick of the shops such as Comet, Makro, Aldi, whatever and buy a terrestrial Freeview Digibox for anything between £30 and £100. Also buy a Scart lead. Take it home set it up in accordance with the instructions and Bingo there will be BBC4. I trust you have a reasonably modern TV and get a good signal from Emley Moor or whatever is closest. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 I just wish we could get BBC1 (Ireland) or TG4, for their great Traditional Irish music shows. Oh well, I'll just have to settle for my Comhaltas Live (TV) Internet subscription Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark, Its pretty much as Pete says, but the salesmen may try to tell you you need a 'Top Up TV' compatible (or card-slot) set top box. Ignore them, as this will cost you an extra £20 on the basic price, and just gives you the optional to receive a few more channels, but at £7 a month. You may also need a co-ax to co-ax lead, as the box goes in between your TV and the aerial lead. Edited November 14, 2005 by wes williams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Day Posted November 19, 2005 Author Share Posted November 19, 2005 (edited) I watched this programme again last night ,the second in the series.Not quite as good as the first but worth watching for the last song ,absolutely fantastic. Al Edited to take out that the programme will be repeated on Sunday night ,not according to the TV paper, so the person who I reminded about this programme and who said he would watch the repeat on Sunday has missed it.

Helen Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 Sounds like a great program, Al. Hi, I have been off working 6 days a week and missing Cnet. So, do I have to move to England to get this program? Helen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cream-T Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 You might be able to get it on satellite in the rest of the world.
