TV Head's Up... for UK members...

[Greeny]

If any of you UK guys have Sky or some other digital / freeview TV set-up, keep an eye out for Sky Arts channels 1 and 2. I stumbled across it up in the lifestyle channels a couple of weeks ago. Since then, I've watched something on it most nights on Sky Arts 1. Such as...

- Thin Lizzy 'Live and Dangerous' from 1977
- Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon live
- Cream's Albert Hall Reunion concert
- Great documentary on 'Free'
- Loads of Jimi Hendrix stuff

They also run a 'songbook' show that has an hour interview with some great songwriters. This week's was Albert Hammond sitting there chatting and playing live - really interesting stuff. I had no idea how many classic songs he's written.

Sky Arts 2 is all ballet / opera / classical if you're that way inclined!

Anyway, just to let you know....

Thanks Tim, I'll try to find it. Have you got the channel numbers?

It seems you need Sky, Virgin or Tiscali...

Coming up on 'songbook'....

Donovan
Ian Broudie
Bernard Sumner

Donovan is a major hero of mine - so can't wait!

You lucky SOBs. We aren't afforded this kind of awesome on our side of the pond. We do have plenty of programs that do not show the following material, though: 

- Thin Lizzy 'Live and Dangerous' from 1977
- Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon live
- Cream's Albert Hall Reunion concert
- Great documentary on 'Free'
- Loads of Jimi Hendrix stuff

I was hoping we had another "shed-citing"

I'd be taking advantage if I could!
