Beatcroft Social, 21 January - now streaming in HD video, on Facebook and audio only

Exciting news! We are now archiving our 60 North Radio broadcasts at 60north.com in high definition video and stereo. You can find the latest Beatcroft (incorporating The Museum of Lost Audio) and some of the older ones here: http://www.shetland.org/60n/video/3 .

The latest Beatcroft features some great aurora shots towards the end of the show, and the Hogmanay special has Da Mirrie Dancers galore!

Of course, the Mixcloud audio-only and Facebook options are still open to you, and embedded later in this post.

A quick word about the immediate future: next week's show is a pre-Up Helly Aa special with guest Maurice Henderson of Fiddler's Bid, who'll be talking about his new book In Search of Willafjord, the story of a tune...

Then, on Up Helly Aa (Lerwick) day itself (Tuesday 31 January) 60N Radio will be on air almost all day with live video and audio. Starting with two hours from 9-11am, I will cover the opening parade of the Jarl Squad, first sight of the galley and unveiling of Da Bill, with pertinent music! Then some live footage of the Fiery Sessions concerts, followed by the Beatcroft Social back on air from 5-7pm. After that we have the legendary Davie Gardner and Peter Malcolmson and live coverage of the main event itself. So if you can't be in Shetland for the biggest Viking fire festival in the world, tune in on Facebook Live and on 60north.com
