I would be interested to know how many on here are regular viewers.
(Sky Arts) or BBC3 tends to be my default channel to check to see if there's anything on worth watching I'm with you all the way on this, there's some great archive stuff. Recent good ones from memory being James Taylor/Carol King circa '75, Queen, Status Quo from Montreux (yes, it was identical in almost every detail to their Cropredy appearance) The British Invasion series - Dusty Sprigfield, Gerry & The Pacemakers, Hermans Hermits - The Isle Of Wight 1970 The Who, Tull, Hendrix, Moodys ...... and so it goes on. Good stuff indeed This channel appeared in front of us in the same way - it came with SKY Phone/B Band/Sky+ HD package, all for a much lower cost than our previous set up with basic SKY/ BT phone and B Band. This of course lead us into a new flatscreen telly but I have to say that despite reservations at the time the viewing experience especially for music programmes is hugely better and if broadcast in HD, WOW. Tonights got Stones in the Park, Donovan's Sunshine Superman, Gil Scott Heron and Hermans Hermits British Invasion . I've seen the latter, and whilst not a fan of the music, enjoyed the documentary, which included recent interviews. The British Invasion series is very good, loved the Small Faces one. |

Perhaps I should try to watch Sky Arts more often. Unfortunately I have to take my place in the televisual pecking order behind two teenage daughters and a wife who loves anything with NCIS in the title.  |

Unfortunately I have to take my place in the televisual pecking order behind two teenage daughters and a wife who loves anything with NCIS in the title. Get a Sky Plus box or multiroom.  On the main box we can record 2 programs at the same time, you have to have to be watching one of them or at least have the TV set to one of them, whilst doing this you can if you wish watch a third already recorded program. In addition we can watch another channel upstairs. |

This is fine in summer (I know) but in winter it's perishing even with a little heater. The only consolation is it's where I keep the real ale. So I gain my soul but lose my liver. |

I've been told that Sky did their own mix of the feed, and didn't take trhe live mix we heard on the field....

I watch it several times a week, they have some good and varied stuff, minimal adverts and it's nowhere near as irritating as the likes of MTV, VH1 etc. Same here  |

I enjoyed (IIRC) Simon Nicol's comment that Matty Groves has two chords and seventeen verses, which is exactly the opposite of your typical Steely Dan song. |

The general feeling seems to be that I didn't miss much then. I was away at the weekend getting "all steamed up" (Old Warden) and forgot to record the programme !
However a friend at work saw it and loved it and is determined to come to Croppers next year !
