The High Kings on PBS

[OldFatGuy]

Anybody got any messages for the High Kings?

I'll be meeting them in 2 weeks.

Ask them for their birthdays, so we can add them to our calendar.

[Maggie]

Tell them Zee looks forward to seeing them when they come to Philly in May!

They will be delighted altogether! 

I'd better give them a list of Forum Celebs like yourself......

Maggie
tell them ...Welcome!

"céad míle fáilte" will be the first words out of my mouth! 

.....and I will add "from Kathleen".

if you like I can record it for you, that way you get to see me on the phones too! 

The good thing about our local PBS is the High Kings will be live in the studio.

Mel, thanks for the info.
Destiny, I'm calling MPT regularly to try to prod them. Although I think they may be on to me. 

Maggie, all I would ask is can you thank them for me. Thank them for keeping the trad alive.

Me too Maggie!  And tell them how excited we are to welcome them to the Family!

Hmmmm...wonder if the Forum members need to do a call in campaign to some of these PBS's that are not airing them. Unless the HK are not going to doing any LIVE shows in those areas, that also could be a possiblity.

It couldn't do any harm, Mel.

At least it would make them aware of what they're missing.....then maybe next time.

The best that could happen is, the High Kings add dates to their Tour!

At our Irish Club Meeting a couple of weeks ago, when the President asked "any other business?"
I raised my hand and went up to speak. I had printed out info from THK website.

I told them about the guys and the Tour, and to watch out for the PBS show.

When I finished, one of the Board said "and what about Cherish the Ladies?
They're coming too".
I said "Yes, and one of them is Martin Furey's sister, but THIS is about The High Kings".

Then, when we got a request from WMFE for eight members to help with the phone bank, they suddenly got interested!

I just did a search on Houston's PBS to see when I could see The High Kings concert and boy did I get a treat.  Celtic Thunder is airing on Sunday March 2nd and The High Kings is airing on Monday March 3rd.  Does it get any better than that?  I'm been previewing them on You Tube and I like them both.

FINALLY.....after several e-mails to the Philadelphia/Wilmington PBS station ( Channel 12 ) I have the following info:

WHYY will be airing THE HIGH KINGS on Wednesday, March 5th at 8 p.m.
