A grand little show is on WPBS (Watertown NY USA) tonight at 7:30pm, called Absolutely Irish, with dozens of brilliant ITM players. Check your local listings to see if and when it's playing near you. Here's a clip of three mighty fine female fiddlers from the show... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uR1l169_mVA
I saw this show last night on WYBE in Philadelphia. What a treat to hear traditional music on TV, not the Celtic bull that usually passes through at this time of year! And for a Philly girl, it was great to hear Ed Reavy's tunes in the background during the interview segments...

By the way, what's the second solo tune (by Athena Tergis)?

Why doesn't my PBS carry this?? Is there anywhere else to view the whole show?
