Subject: BBC - New Series about famous Irish songs
I think many of you will be interested in this; I have seen advertisements for this new television series.
Starting this Friday 31st 9.30pm on BBC 1 Northern Ireland is a new series about famous Irish songs,(I know only some will be able to see this). Singer Brian Kennedy hosts the series and it tells the story behind these songs and the people who wrote them.
The first programme opens with the story behind the 'Isle Of Innisfree' and talks about its writer Dick Farrelly and his son Gerard Farrelly is a guest on the programme.
Another song featured in the first programme is Phil Coulter's 'The Town I Love So Well', and of course Phil will also be on the programme. I think it should be a great series.
