Unfortunately it's not on the VHS tape I received in a trade. Not on YouTube either.

This show's getting screened again on tg4 this day week,

http://www.tg4.ie/tv-listings/tv-listin ... 2015-04-29 ,

so better quality copies should be available after that.
Blurb in the queens english is
Donal Lunny oversees an experimental line-up that includes three percussionists and a selection of leading traditional musicians, including Arty McGlynn and Nollaig Casey. They are joined by flautist Matt Molloy, Sean Nós singer Iarla Ó Lionáird and singer-songwriter Elvis Costello

Last weeks episode was shown in the aspect ratio - 'square' - of the original broadcast, using a good , clean print. Hopefully a decent recording will be made of tonight's show and it will turn up in a format that can be shared.

I'm pretty sure that's Moya Brennan (hands joined beneath her chin) of Clannad in the audience
