It's BBC4, not BBC Radio 4. Or am I wrong? I don't think so, I think it's BBC4. I have it programmed in, and I'm looking forward to it. :) Shame it's not just Fran.

I suppose there's no way to see it if you're not in the UK?

Not sure, but hopefully it'll make it to YouTube. Though I would have no idea how to do that myself.

I'm really not sure. Perhaps it'll make it to YouTube. However, in my opinion, you didn't miss much. Fran performed Driftwood, Writing To Reach You, Sing. I can't remember what else now. Anyway, don't worry, you didn't miss anything unmissable. :)

This programme got a lot of positive comments on Franhealy.com. If you missed this show, you missed a treat, in my opinion. Less is more sometimes. :)
He sang Rocking chair as well, which was beautiful.

It wasn't that great. It was an hour long, right? Or was it 70 minutes? Split that between 3 singers. Apart from Rocking Chair, Fran didn't sing anything Travis fans haven't heard him sing 50 times before. ;) It was good though, and Fran was wonderful as always.

For a beautiful performance of Rocking Chair: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtUnx2LPR60
