Title: Re: "My Land" airings announced Post by: Shanonlynn on February 28, 2011, 12:33PM I am so dissapointed that the PBS stations in Norfolk and Richmond Virginia are not airing "My Land" I contacted the Richmond station about airing "Celtic Christmas" and they were not aware of the Show. I have pre-ordered the CD/DVD combo and cannot wait for it to arrive. I have been listening to the songs on various internet sites, and they are all so well done. I really love Orla for doing such a beautiful tribute to her homeland. Shannon

Title: Re: "My Land" airings announced Post by: Katharine on February 28, 2011, 02:48PM Yay! Next Monday for us in SC! I hope I'm able to watch it!!
Title: Re: "My Land" airings announced Post by: MikeyK on March 05, 2011, 01:39PM I saw it last weekend and it was awesome! Simply Órlagh at her best!
Did anyone else's PBS station mention exclusive bonus tracks on the PBS version of the CD? They mentioned it had 4 bonus tracks, including Shenandoah, The Water is Wide, and Carolan's Welcome. I hadn't heard about it anywhere else, so I was just wondering if it was a mistake.

I pre-ordered the autographed CD and the DVD and those songs are on it, but Carolans Welcome is not on it.

Title: Re: "My Land" airings announced Post by: RetPgmr on March 06, 2011, 12:01PM This posting if for fans in the Seattle area. KBTC will be airing the My Land special tonight, March 6th, at 8pm & 9pm. According to a representative of KBTC, Orla will be live during the 8pm broadcast. KBTC will be offering tickets to the concerts in Edmonds October 14 and Tacoma October 15. Cost is $175 for 2 tickets to either venue. Title: Re: "My Land" airings announced Post by: Jennifer on March 06, 2011, 02:14PM Nothing for the Twin Cities :(
Title: Re: "My Land" airings announced Post by: Libby on March 07, 2011, 12:22AM I watched it tonight. It was very nice. It's also airing on March 8th in Seattle/Tacoma at 6pm.
I can't wait to see her in concert in October! I wish the tickets would hurry up and go on sale! (No, I'm not going to do it through PBS). Title: Re: "My Land" airings announced Post by: greenfire6 on March 07, 2011, 10:08AM It appears that KNPB Reno, Nevada is sitting this one out. :'(
Title: Re: "My Land" airings announced Post by: Starman on March 10, 2011, 06:27PM Kentucy Educational Television (KET) sadly announces it did not purchase the rights to broadcast My Land. :'( I'm not quite sure what that was all about, but it surely is disappointing, as Orla has a tremendous number of fans in the viewing area! :(
Title: Re: "My Land" airings announced Post by: greenfire6 on March 10, 2011, 10:50PM I'm at a loss too. I try to not overguess my local PBS and tell myself they have their own business plan to follow.
But honestly, I don't think they appreciate the number of Celtic music fans in their broadcast area and what they could gain from some well crafted promotion involving Órla and their station. Title: Re: "My Land" airings announced Post by: Godshorsegirl on March 11, 2011, 09:14AM I love how the only one listed as coming in april with no dates attached in the list is Oklahoma.... the state I live in haha
Title: Re: "My Land" airings announced Post by: Maggie on March 12, 2011, 11:29AM There is only one airing in Florida, and it's nowhere near us.
I know our local PBS station WMFE is having financial problems, along with many other PBS stations. They have dropped a lot of programs. Title: Re: "My Land" airings announced Post by: Iluvcelticwoman on March 13, 2011, 08:28PM Valley PBS: HALF HOUR PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!! ;D ;D ;D

Title: Re: "My Land" airings announced Post by: Starman on March 19, 2011, 04:16PM PBS stations may fear to spend the money for new shows due to the threatened loss of public funding, leaving them uncertain about where their existing funds should be spent. Once the threat of loss of federal funding has passed, they may loosen up, but are likely to be conservative in their expenditures until then.
To the extent we as fans can insulate Orla from these pressures, we should, in my opinion. That means to the extent we can purchase her music and concert tickets independent of PBS, let's do it! I don't want to see her future fate as an artist depend upon the current whims of those in the political debate over public financing of educational media broadcasting in the US. Title: Re: "My Land" airings announced Post by: MikeyK on March 21, 2011, 01:35PM I went ahead and pledged for a PBS version of the CD and it does have 3 bonus tracks, Water is Wide/ Shenandoah, Carolan's Welcome from one of her Christmas CDs, and the instrumental song from Distant Shore, the Michael O'Dwyer's/Trip to Shanbally's one.
Title: Re: "My Land" airings announced Post by: MikeyK on March 30, 2011, 11:42PM For those of you who follow Órla on Facebook or twitter you probably know that she was in LA earlier this week. She took this opportunity to do some more promo of My Land on KCET and I filmed the interviews so that you all can see them. The reason that the quality is so poor is because I filmed it off the TV with my camera. If you watch the second one you'll see 2 short performances of Aililiu Na Gamhna from her The Water is Wide album, which I think is really cool because I've never seen her perform that one. Enjoy!

Title: Re: "My Land" airings announced Post by: greenfire6 on April 06, 2011, 09:10AM Thanks for making and posting vids of Órla's recent KCET appearance Mikey.
As I watched I couldn't help but think KCET could have given the guy the night off! No offense intended but Órla could have MCed the whole thing by herself! Such a remarkable lady... Title: Re: "My Land" airings announced Post by: Iluvcelticwoman on April 06, 2011, 09:18AM I loved it so much I had to go out and by the DVD!! ;D ;D
Title: Re: "My Land" airings announced Post by: The Leprechaun on April 09, 2011, 06:13PM This is what happens when I don't check the forum often enough. Have I missed it entirely? I hope that WSIU or KETC will air it sometime.
