PIPING LIVE 2016

December 12th 2016

The Piping Live festival returns to BBC ALBA when Ceòlmhor@Piping Live celebrates the diversity of the contemporary piping scene. New presenter Allan MacDonald – no stranger to the piping word himself – fronts three episodes that features some of the best music from Piping Live 2016.

Across the three programmes, Allan MacDonald shines a light on pipers and musicians and the conversations we hear give the wonderful music a context.

Ceòlmhor@PipingLive is produced by Bees Nees Media for BBC ALBA with the first programme in the series being broadcast on Wednesday 14 December at 10pm and subsequent programmes following each Wednesday thereafter.

BELLADRUM 2016

Over the past couple of weeks, the team have been preparing to bring you coverage from another sold out Scottish festival. This time, we are at Belladrum’s Tartan Heart Festival and we will be doing things a bit differently…

We will be broadcasting live music and exclusive interviews from the festival meaning you can sit back and relax, and enjoy the festival from the comforts of your own home. Presenters Niall Iain MacDonald and Fiona MacKenzie will be with you from 9.30pm, Thursday 4th August, on BBC ALBA. You can tune in on Friday and Saturday as well to catch even more live music that’s on offer throughout the rest of the festival.  Our highlights shows will follow later on in the year.

It is set to be a mighty festival, and headlining this year are: The Darkness, Two Door Cinema Club and Madness. The full line-up can be found below. Which bands are you looking forward to seeing?
