There’s no better way to kick start the year than diving head first in to a chat show, LIVE from Celtic Connections, right? We’ve pulled together some top guests both attending and appearing at the festival and for the first time, we will be doing Nochd live on air on BBC ALBA. Starting tonight, we’ll be on air every weekend throughout the festival, so be sure to catch up on all the chat and great shows that are happening in Glasgow over the next few weeks.

Well well, it has been a fun year for us at Bees Nees, and we have a fun show coming to BBC ALBA tonight with Robert Robertson who takes a look as far back as 1957 to some of the golden moments we’ve seen on our screens in past Hogmanay shows on Scottish television. How this will bring back the memories! We hope you enjoy it as much as we did in making it, and have a Happy New Year when it comes.

We’re just back from an incredible weekend at the 2019 Eurovision Choir contest in Gothenburg. As Scotland’s first ever entry to Eurovision, Alba Choir was assembled by Joy Dunlop, who conducted the choir and united some of the country’s finest singers to compete at the event. We documented their journey right from the very beginning so you can be there every step of the way to the live show in Sweden. With stunning Gaelic song arrangements by Sileas Sinclair, including Runrig’s “Alba”, the choir went down a storm!
