Thank you BBB for this information.   I would have loved to be there, but I don't think I could squeeze it in, unfortunately!    Something to look forward to on television, though!   


PS - Applied, so hoping for some good news!   

[Solid Rock]

This is great news!

[Jules]

So this is for be broadcasted?

So this is for be broadcasted?

Yes!   

[herlock]

Is this the source of the possible DVD release ?
It seems to be a shortened show: "one or two from DS", this probably means no TR...
And if this is just one show to be filmed, very unlikely to get both KOG and YTC on the DVD...
I thought the plan was to film all the RAH shows, with a great variety of songs, to release them all on video ?
Any more info ?

[superval99]

According to Guy on his forum, the RAH isn't being filmed, but he did imply that something else would happen and this is obviously it! 

I am very happy about it - it is better than nothing at all and the BBC4 Sessions are usually very well done and are an hour long - usually!  I expect it will be something like "A Night in London".   Let's hope SOS is included this time!

I don't think Hitch will be part of the band at this thing so the set will probably be a "standard" one without things like Speedway, TR and that other 13 min. one (can't bring myself to...

[Jules]

Actually, from a 2 hours set, if you take out TR, you have 1 hour and 45 minutes...

I saw some others Live Shows from the BBc4 and I think they are about one hour, at least in the broadcast. Isnt it?

Why not Speedway?   It's not very long and I regard it as pretty standard now.   I doubt we get TR or Marbletown, unfortunately, as they will eat up most of the programme, but I hope for SOS!

Speedway doesn't really lend itself to a studio setting with it's loud thunderous finale I don't think.  Perhaps I'm wrong.

Are we condemned to have only one version of video for TR (Alchemy) and Speedway (RLRR) ?
As great as they are, I would like alternate ones !
As for MT, I want it on video ! :p

[Jules]

Nobody from the UK is answering about the lenght of the broadcasted show?

I hope that they do as with the Jools Holland show in 1996, they broadcast a small part but release it full on dvd.

You want MT on video, look at the musicians:  http://www.amazon.co.uk/Transatlantic-Sessions-DVD-Aly-Bain/dp/B0065GQW32/ref=sr_1_3?s=dvd&ie=UTF8&qid=1368786538&sr=1-3&keywords=celtic+connections
