Re: Come West Along the Road, volume 3

Thanks MacCruiskeen for putting the list together. A great variety of players and singers there. All credit to the Archive and to RTÉ for the great work they're doing.

Re: Come West Along the Road, volume 3

It is indeed amazing. Is vol 1 still around? my VHS video version got chewed.

Re: Come West Along the Road, volume 3

Fantastic line-up and very comprehensive. Santa, I've been a good boy this year haven't I?

Danny, just looking around the site mentioned above, I found this page http://www.itma.ie/Publications/DVDs.html and it appears that all 3 volumes are available on DVD.

Re: Come West Along the Road, volume 3

Are the musicians listed getting younger by the series? or am I just getting older? :(

Re: Come West Along the Road, volume 3

If you want all three (they are not a box set) you need to shop around. The first one, in particular, can be had quite cheaply these days. Not that I want to diddle any worthy supplier out of their profit, but times is 'ard...

Re: Come West Along the Road, volume 3

Confusingly, the VHS Come West Along the Road Vol. 1 is completely different from the DVD Come West Along the Road Vol. 1.

# Posted on December 10th 2010 by Jumper

Re: Come West Along the Road, volume 3

So there are really four volumes...

Re: Come West Along the Road, volume 3

Caveat emptor!

# Posted on December 10th 2010 by Steve Shaw

Re: Come West Along the Road, volume 3

I wouldn't worry about the DVDs as they are all good and the Vol. 1 and 2 are priced cheaper at the ITMA so they are all worth having in your collection. the Videotape would be much harder to find these days.

Re: Come West Along the Road, volume 3

I have an old VHS of 'the pure drop' where some of these out takes in the come west series were sourced, Id be very interested to hear of others with similar tapes. Anyone?
