I got a chance to play a set of tunes on my Jeffries last Thursday night, for a recording of BBC 2s Traditional Music show Blas Ceoil!
The show was filmed in my local Session Pub, the House of McDonnell, Ballycastle in Co. Antrim & I was asked to gather up 3 other regular musicians to form a House Band for the night. They recorded 4 sets of tunes from us, but if we are lucky, they might show two on the TV show, which is to be broadcast on Thursday night 18th of November at 10pm. I don't think they plan to use the Concertina set for the TV show, but you never know!
Anyway, they usually use the other two tracks during the Radio Show, which will be broadcast on the following night.
Both TV & Radio broadcasts are then available to view on the Blas Ceoil website's iPlayer for 6 days after that. While the four tracks remain on the website after that under each artist involved.
Unfortunately, I think this iPlayer only works in the UK.
Still, it was great to get the chance to play even one set on my Jeffries, on Northern Irish TV & even if it is only broadcast on Radio, it'll be great to hear this historic old Jeffries playing again alongside Uilleann Pipes, Fiddle & Bodhran.
Cheers,
Dick
