so you're thinking of making flutes, eh? i hope you don't feel threatened--but there's a monk in your area that i hear makes a pretty mean flute!
I heard it was a mean monk making flutes pretty.

I'd worry.

oh, i was mistaken--it was a pretty monk making mean flutes.

Thanks for the link Murrough. Has anyone figured out how to save these BBC iplayer and the Full set videos to hard disc to view later?

Tonight they have Mícheál Ó Raghallaigh's concertina episode on BBC 2 for anyone that's interested - details below:

Ceird An Cheoil
BBC 2 Northern Ireland
Today on BBC 2 Northern Ireland from 7:30pm to 8:00pm

The Concertina

Following musician Micheal O Raghallaigh as he restores an old concertina to its former glory and discusses the merits of the instrument. Plus, performances by Antoin MacGabhann and Brid Meany, Michael Rooney, Providence, Catherine MacEvoy and the O Raghallaigh family.

(I'd say it'll probably be shown at the same URL as the one posted for Sam's episode [replacing it]:

Aaaaaagh! I LOVE HIM! I saw him in St. Louis and he's just perfect. Murrough, I think you're taunting us!

<sigh> Oh well, maybe in another couple of years The Great Sanalyanna will once again deliver us unwashed and I can marvel from afar ... sniff, sniff

Hi Cathy,

This is BBC 2 (here in the north) airing the series for the first time, and they seem to be very good for putting their stuff on-line. I think it's a bit crappy of the BBC however IMO, how they are not allowing the footage to be broadcast worldwide.

Now, to my knowledge, TG4 were very good for broadcasting the episodes of the whole Ceird an Cheoil series on the web (from their own website), as they were great for repeating the episodes on the actual television channel itself, so I would rather have watched the episodes on the television, back when they were airing first time around, and always enjoyed watching the repeats. It might be worth having a wee browse around the TG4 website to see if they still have some of the episodes online. I truly feel bad for people who can't view this, that the BBC aren't showing this across the world.

Just maybe keep checking back on the TG4 website to see if they have the episodes online from there, and if so, it might be nice to post them here I suppose, for the ones who unfortunately haven't seen the episodes yet.

Just an after-thought here, I hope I'm not speaking out of turn by posting these links incase TG4 are trying to sell them or something like that, as I honestly don't know if they are.

I don't know about BBC stuff online in general in terms of area distribution rights, but as the Beeb obviously bought this series in, they may well not have the rights to distribute them beyond what they are doing - in fact, I'd lay odds that is the case. I doubt they're simply being mean or lazy - there are bound to be sound, if "bad", legal reasons!

Just had a wee check there on:

http://www.tg4.tv

Click on:

> Ceol - Cartlann (3rd link down on the left side)

and you can usually find a wealth of stuff there, e.g.:

Canúintí Ceoil - 6/6/08 presented by Joe Byrne

(There are a good few episodes on the Canúintí Ceoil series)

There's a nice documentarey of Frankie Kennedy there for example, at present simply called:

"Frankie" - 12/4/08

As I said, there's an absolute wealth of stuff there usually, so just keep checking in is my best advice.

Aye David,

it was just on tellybox again there, so will probably be a wee while before they upload it to t'interweb.

They have the standard:

Something went wrong

There seems to be a problem playing this video - please try again...

Download information
Sorry, Ceird An Cheoil is no longer available. Programmes are available for seven days after broadcast.

... message, so I'd imagine it'll be like this for a few hours or however long it takes their web person to "change the reel" as it were (from Sam's flute episode, to Mícheál's concertina episode).

I can not download the flute documentary from youtube. Is it copy-protected even on youtube? Or would one of the lucky downloaders send it to me by using yousendit.com or just by email?

Real Player 11 for Mac & Windows will download YouTube videos to your hard drive

www.download-free-player.com

You download and install Real player 11. Then when you play a YouTube video a small box opens at the top of the video and Real Player asks if you wish to "download ths video". You click on the box and the video is downloaded

And OMG, the RealPlayer people FINALLY got a clue?!?!?!?!?!

Double joy-joy!

... and thanks
