EXCLUSIVE COVERAGE OF HEBCELTFEST 2010 CONTINUES THIS SATURDAY ON BBC ALBA
Coverage of this year’s highly coveted HebCeltFest 2010 music festival will continue this Saturday 24 July, as BBC ALBA broadcasts its second exclusive programme.
The festival, which took place in Stornoway from 14 – 17 July, was a huge hit with festival-goers being one of the most popular festivals in its 15 year history.
BBC ALBA are delighted to be broadcasting their second one hour highlights special covering some of the best performances throughout the festival from the main stage in the big tent and fringe activities.
Saturday’s programme will provide special features with coverage from headline acts including one of today's hottest musical properties, Imelda May whose vintage rockabilly and jazz influences underpin her songs; the young band Breabach, one of the most inventive and diverse bands to have emerged from the Scottish folk scene in recent years; as well as the Treacherous Orchestra who will be taking Scottish dance music into a thrilling new dimension during their appearance; along with many more performances and interviews from festival week.
Award winning presenter Niall Iain Macdonald will introduce the programme from Lews Castle Green on Saturday 24 July at 9pm which will be repeated on Friday 30 at 10pm. BBC ALBA’s first programme covering the festival, which aired last Saturday, will be repeated this Friday 23 at 10.10pm.
BBC ALBA is available on Sky channel 168 and on Freesat channel 110 with the programmes available to view via the BBC iPlayer.
