Music of Ireland on PBS

[catmandu2]

Anyone catch it? Part one was broadcast in our area this evening--it's quite a nice little program. Too much Riverdance, of course, but that was to be expected. Several things I particularly enjoyed: large groups of kids playing mandolins, concertinas, harps, plectrum banjos...and playing by ear. That's something you don't see often enough in the US. Apparently, this was Liam Clancy's last recorded interview for television.

I hope I get a chance to see part two.

I did see this advertised but missed it. Hopefully it will be re-broad casted.
