Episode 4

Jerry Douglas and Aly Bain with more Celtic and country music, featuring Sharon Shannon, Jim Murray, Mike McGoldrick, Danny Thompson, Donald Shaw, John McCusker and Eddi Reader.

The best of Nashville, Ireland and Scotland in a format that affords a unique insight into the sheer joy of making music. Recorded in an old hunting lodge at Glen Lyon near Aberfeldy in the Perthshire Highlands, top vocal and instrumental exponents of the country and Celtic traditions gather to rehearse and play together with no audience except themselves and a resident house band.

Music co-directors are Nashville's Jerry Douglas and Shetland's Aly Bain and artists include Sharon Shannon, Jim Murray, Mike McGoldrick, Danny Thompson, Donald Shaw, John McCusker, James Mackintosh, Iain Morrison, Eddi Reader, Donal Lunny, John Doyle, Sarah Jarosz, Russ Barenberg, Nollaig Casey, Alison Krauss, Sam Bush and Declan O'Rourke.

Leavening the intimacy of the music-making is a strong element of Highland scenic photography, while a greater emphasis on informal backstage conversations and stories serves to highlight the series' historic qualities of collaboration and performance.
