Hi.

I just thought you might like to know that there promises to be a wee clip from our weekly Session in the Springhill Bar, Portrush, Co Antrim at the end of the show, tomorrow morning. Always good to see trad music on the telly!

Country Tracks BBC 1 - 11am!

As if any of you lot will be up & about at that time, on a Sunday morning!

Cheers
Dick

Of course everyone will be up, but they'll all be at church.

Nae bother Malky, cause if you missed it, you can catch it again on Thursday afternoon at 02.50pm on BBC1.

After that, you may be even be able to watch it on the BBC iPlayer

Well, the last 10 minutes or so, featured our weekly Springhill Bar Session in Portrush alright.

In the session, you saw a touch of the Scottish influence on the music in this part of the world, with instruments like the Scottish Smallpipes {Ian Kinnear's} & English Concertina, as well as the more usual Fiddles, Melodeon, Bouzouki, Uilleann Pipes, Harp, & Bodhran

I'm not sure though, if I'll ever recover from the shame of being 'OUTED' on national TV, as a closet Bodhran Player

... Oh & I'll probably have to steer well clear of Swedish Fiddle players for a while!

Cheers
Dick

You can watch our wee 'Country Tracks' session clip now, on the BBC1 iPlayer

N.B. The Springhill Bar piece starts at ~ 46.10 Mins.

Cheers
