Hoolie in the Hydro recordings on BBC ALBA (and iPlayer)

[vivdunstan]

Our current viewing. Hoolie in the Hydro, recorded live in Glasgow just the other night. Fab traditional Scottish music line up, including Capercaillie, Mànran and Talisk among others. I think BBC ALBA are airing it in two parts, last night and then the rest between Christmas and the New Year. Here is the link to part 1.

Was looking for one amateur music and found another. See latest post :)

housebound since 22 - I hadn't realised it had been so long... Thank goodness for streaming.

Many thanks. Youtube video saved to watch! My Yorkshire great granddad was a drummer in the Yorkshire Light Infantry. We think he met great granny (who he never legally married) when they were in Dublin, including performing in Dublin Castle. He was also charged with desertion (brief) then/there as well. But yup, seems to have found his Irish wife while drumming in Dublin.

And yes, I fell ill newly 22, about the time I got married in 1994. Initially thought to be ME, but re diagnosed 3 years later with a life threatening autoimmune brain disease. It's been a bit of a slog. Amazingly I'm still happy though :)
