No, I can't remember the last one either.
But they did a lovely version of "Waiting for the Federals", also known as the Seneca Square Dance, at the beginning, also Paul Brady did one of his Rock'n'Roll numbers, and Nanci Griffiths did "Who knows Where the Time Goes" with lots of harmony choruses.
Basically, you need to read your programme listings earlier.
I managed to dub onto tape, off a VHS recording, the first series, and still cherish Dick Gaughan singing Wild Mountain Thyme with Emmy Lou Harris and the McGarrigles doing harmony chorus - pure genius !
Also had the subtitles up last night, and they had a Cajun fiddle-player as well,and when he sang in between fiddle-breaks the titles just went "Singing in Cajun" or something like that.
Cop-out !
If you ever watch Blazing Saddles on tv, put on the subtitles - especially for the beans-eating sequence !
I f it's the set of jigs you refer to, it was "the Swedish Jig"( this was called something else on Mick Maloney's "Strings Attached" album) and the second jig was "Untitled".
Transatlantic sessions
Transatlantic sessions
Hi all,
I just caught the last bit of transatlantic sessions on BBC 4 and heard the last bit of the last tune.
Does anyone know what it was?
Thanks
Jake

Re: Transatlantic sessions
Which session was it? I believe there six or seven broadcasts in the past.

Re: Transatlantic sessions

Re: Transatlantic sessions
I think the alternate titleto the Swedish Jig is Arthur Darely's. I've also heard Munster Buttermilk referred to as Behind the Haystack.
