Prog on BBCi with Irish language and music

Postby Lorraine » 16 Jul 2008, 22:43

I happened upon this programme on BBCi about banjo playing in Ireland. It's in a mixture of Irish (with subtitles) and English. I'm not even learning Irish and I ended up watching some of it because of the music. Anyway I thought it would be interest to some on here, but bear in mind that BBCi don't keep episodes up for very long, it'll probably be gone in a few days.

Edit - just realised that BBCi may not be available outside the UK, but if you can't play it I guess you might have more luck with YouTube. the programme's called Ceird An Cheoil and apparently they've been having a series of Irish music related progs.

It sounds like a great program - I love the banjo - but you may be right about those outside the UK not being able to access it. It wouldn't load up for me, however that may be due to congestion or something. I'll try again later, and take a look on YouTube as well. Thanks for pointing it out!
