Stornoway’s 2010 HebCeltFest music festival, with a cracking programme, will be widely accessible again as BBC ALBA commits to its second year of exclusive coverage.
2010 is the 15th anniversary of the popular event, running from 14th-17th July and this year featuring Afro Celt Sound System (which does what it says and is pictured above), Adrian Edmondson and Bad Shepherds (playing punk on traditional instruments) and Treacherous Orchestra (taking Scottish dance music somewhere else altogether).
The two, one hour music specials covering the multi venue event will include performances from the main stage in the big tent, the An Lanntair stage and from fringe activities and will be broadcast on BBC ALBA on Saturday 17th July and Saturday 24th July at 9pm. Award winning presenter Niall Iain Macdonald will introduce both programme from Lews Castle Green.
BBC ALBA is available on Sky channel 168 and on Freesat channel 110. The two programmes will also be repeated on Friday 23rd July at 10.10pm and Friday 30th July at 10pm and will be available to view via the BBC iPlayer.
