Hurrah! BBC4 has a raft of new Friday night docs starting with a show about banned tunes a few weeks

Skid X · 02-07-2014 12:45PM

TG4 are repeating their 'Guth' series from July 24th. I saw a few of them, the John Lydon show was very good

A new and revealing six-part documentary series that tells the story of modern pop music and how the sons and daughters of Irish emigrants have changed the face of popular music.

What impact, if any, did their Irish blood have on singers like Bing Crosby, John Lydon, Morrissey and Marr, Dusty Springfield, John Lennon, or the Gallagher Brothers? And what impact did their music have on Ireland?

Ol' Donie · 03-07-2014 10:25AM

Good Lord.

Of all the things to repeat! Sedaka night! Again!

You know, maybe I will watch it again. There has to be a reason for the repeats. Maybe the anger and despair (and anger) I felt last time I watched it will turn to joy and happiness?

Okay, come on...everybody...

Don't take your loooooooove away from me...

C'mon Skid, it's eighties time!

*dons fingerless gloves*

*dons denim jacket*

*dons ra-ra skirt*

Whoops...too much.

Welsh Megaman · 04-07-2014 07:37PM

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere's Grace!

Dressed down, for a change.

Welsh Megaman · 04-07-2014 07:43PM

Bobby Womack RIP

Skid X · 04-07-2014 07:47PM

Just in the door.

Poor auld Bobby Womack. Only just gone.

On a programme called Ebony. I bet they didn't have a programme called Ivory for the white people, eh? eh?

although if ebony and ivory had made a programme together, that would have been good.

Welsh Megaman · 04-07-2014 07:48PM

Good introduction, Mr. Harty.

*facepalm*

Skid X · 04-07-2014 07:49PM

I see there is a cheeky edition of Sound of the Sixties on Sunday night, before A Hard Days Night

Welsh Megaman · 04-07-2014 07:50PM

Ah, the 80's...the only decade where it was ok to hold a bass guitar at chest height.

Welsh Megaman · 04-07-2014 07:53PM

Don't criticize my pastel business suit.

Skid X · 04-07-2014 07:53PM

I would be very slow to criticise Alexander O'Neal. He's looks like he could take care of himself.

Skid X · 04-07-2014 07:55PM

I think I've said this before, but my taped off the radio version of I wanna Dance with somebody was followed by The Anfield Rap. I always expect John Barnes to come in with a Rap at the end.

Skid X · 04-07-2014 07:56PM

Whitney singing properly live there, she was a great talent before she went off the rails.

Welsh Megaman · 04-07-2014 07:58PM

You are braver than I am, Donie.

I don't mind a small bit of Sedaka, but two back to back documentaries is too much. It's like having to eat nothing but candyfloss for a week.

Welsh Megaman · 04-07-2014 08:03PM

Is Richie Kavanagh top of this list?

Welsh Megaman · 04-07-2014 08:08PM

Write a Christmas song? Check.

Skid X · 04-07-2014 08:12PM

Hang on, does this mean I owe Whitney's Estate money? And John Barnes?

If you are reading this IMRO, it was a joke. :eek::)
