Hello, just to let you know, Eddi Reader's performance on 'Other Voices', the music series on RTE Television in Ireland, can be watched at: www.rte.ie/tv/othervoices/20050403otherv.html
Eddi is featured on Brian Kennedy's new album, entitled 'Red Sails In The Sunset (On Song 2)', released on Curb Records label, on February 28th 2005, in duet with Brain Kennedy on the track 'Red Red Rose'. The album consists of material from the second series of 'On Song', which was made for BBC Northern Ireland, and which featured the song with Eddi. The series was broadcast in Ireland late last year. Unfortunately, there are no plans to show the series in the UK as yet.
