LTV Transmission Tonight Will Focus on Aubane and Boherbue

Thanks to the dedication of Dan Joe Kelleher of LTV vital repairs were carried out over the past few days to restore the LTV UHF signal on Channels 30 and 35.   Two separate faults were corrected and thankfully we now have a perfect signal again.   Thank you, Dan Joe, for your inspiring hard work over these days in restoring the signal in time for tonight’s transmission at 10.00 when we have the programme which was intended to be broadcast last week but due to the stormy weather could not be transmitted.   So Thursday’s broadcast includes a variety of excerpts from various  past programmes beginning with a visit in 2004 to “The Rambling House” in Boherbue where hopefully we shall get to see one of the very best recordings ever of the traditional “Brush Dance”. And we finish with a delightful “Round the Fireside in Aubane” feature recorded in 1998 at the home of a French Family who have been coming on an annual basis to this wonderful holiday home in Aubane, Millstreet and who are most interested and proficient in Irish and Breton traditional music.  Happy viewing!     (S.R.)
