Sunday Greetings Everyone! Aye, sailing was excellent last night! ( http://www.guelphboating.ca ). Well here it is in lovely Guelph, Ontario, Canada...another hot and humid day...early in the morning...soon time to head out for my long run. However, in the meantime back to Radio Scotland's Robbie Sheppard's TAKE THE FLOOR : OUTSIDE BROADCAST Recorded at AN TALLA COMMUNITY HALL, TIREE recorded on Wednesday, 15 June 2005. I wanted to find out some more information and listen to the program in full....1 1/2 hours! Lucky us! Where were you 13 months ago? (www.tireegathering.com) I hope this information as follows helps to bring you back home...I think it will...enjoy! Thanks again Lachie for the timely telephone message I received from you yesterday afternoon. Your family throughout the world is most grateful. Hi to all on Tiree. No doubt we wish we were all at the recording. Can you imagine if the "Tiree Bus to the Bruce" had arrived! What a ceilidh! I don't know if we would have ever left. As I listen to the recording and hear the audience applause and cheer I can distinctly hear many of my friends on Tiree. 1851 - 2005...154 years...wouldn't it have been amazing if our ancestors who emigrated from Tiree could have logged on to the computer to listen in! No doubt they are looking down from heaven as they are enjoying their own ceilidh! http://www.bbc.co.uk/scotland/radioscotland/view/playlist.shtml?prog=take_floor&?focuswin http://www.bbc.co.uk/scotland/radioscotland/view/show.shtml?take_floor 25 JUNE 2005 > Photos of the Take The Floor - Outside Broadcast from An Talla, Tiree recorded on Wednesday, 15 June 2005.

I believe you only have 7 days from the time of the original broadcast to listen to TAKE THE FLOOR : OUTSIDE BROADCAST Recorded at AN TALLA COMMUNITY HALL, TIREE, thereafter the "listen again" link takes you to current week's program. I could not find an archive. So, you have 6 days left to enjoy! As per the end of this email I am trying to find a way to order a recording of the show. I will keep you posted....likewise I hope if you have any ideas. Cheers, Scott SATURDAY 25 JUNE TAKE THE FLOOR : OUTSIDE BROADCAST Recorded at AN TALLA COMMUNITY HALL, TIREE Wednesday, June 15, 2005.
