Irish Music Night
BBC FOUR, FROM 8.00PM
On the eve of St Patrick’s Day, BBC Four celebrates Irish music. At 8.00pm, Songs of Ireland sees musicians including multi-instrumental folk star Finbar Furey performing at Glasgow’s Royal Concert Hall. That’s followed by The Irish Rock Story: A Tale of Two Cities, Mike Connolly’s excellent 2015 film about Belfast and Dublin’s influences on Irish rock music. The 2012 film, Here Comes the Summer: The Undertones Story, is at 10.00pm, and at 11.00pm is a recording of Irishman Van Morrison’s 2017 concert at the Eden Project.
