Gerry first walked through the doors of BBC Radio Foyle in 1984 and quickly established himself as a hugely popular broadcaster. His programme was soon picked up by BBC Radio Ulster and Gerry went on to become a much-loved household name, before his untimely passing in 2014. The vast majority of Gerry’s treasure trove of programmes lies on the shelves of the BBC NI Archives and now a selection of some of the best from his 30 year career will be available for podcast. Now launched on BBC Sounds and other podcast providers, you’ll receive five programmes right away on the day, followed by another two programmes every week after that. Join Gerry and Sean Coyle as they take a tour of LA, San Francisco and Las Vegas in 1991; a bus trip with Geordie Tuft to the Ulster Museum in 2010, and an infamous visit to Lord Dunleath’s home in Ballywalter, County Down in 1988, when an antique vase was the unfortunate star of the show. To celebrate the launch of the podcast, there will also be a brand new series on BBC Radio Ulster and Foyle. The Anderson Archive begins on Saturday 9 March at 10.30am, featuring highlights from three decades of Gerry’s show alongside a selection of his favourite music. Each week, Gerry and Sean Coyle put the world to rights while pondering the correct way to use a hatchet, the risks of wearing string vests, the difficulty with ladders and the reasons local men shouldn’t wear shorts. Expect music from Henry McCullough, Doris Day, Anthony Toner and Tom Petty to name but a few, and a lot of laughs along the way. Conor McKay, who has produced both the podcasts and The Anderson Archive radio series, says: “On Gerry’s show, you never knew what was coming next. On one occasion a listener tried to find four baby chipmunks, another needed help with his love life – while a Tyrone listener needed a cure for a cow with warts on its teat. All human life was there, as the saying goes. We hope these podcasts and radio programmes will bring a smile to listeners’ faces. You might even get a few strange looks if you listen on your walk to work or the bus ride home, because you’ll struggle to stop yourself laughing out loud!” Both The Gerry Anderson Show podcasts and The Anderson Archive will be available to listen to via the BBC Radio Ulster website: bbc.co uk.radioulster or the BBC Sounds app and The Gerry Anderson Show podcast will also be on BBC Sounds or your via usual podcast provider.

BBC Northern Ireland School Choir Of The Year is produced in association with the Ulster Youth Choir, and supported by the Arts Council for Northern Ireland (ACNI). Emma Dunseith, Executive Editor Arts, Music and Learning, BBC Northern Ireland, says: “BBC Northern Ireland is proud to be at the forefront of showcasing and developing new, young musical talent. And we are delighted to have even more schools participate this year in the BBC Northern Ireland School Choir Of The Year which should make for a thrilling final.” Ciaran Scullion, Head of Music, Arts Council of Northern Ireland, says: “The Arts Council of Northern Ireland is proud to support BBC Northern Ireland School Choir of the Year through National Lottery funding. This popular event, in association with the Ulster Youth Choir, has nurtured a love of singing and inspired hundreds of school children throughout Northern Ireland since its establishment, helping to bring great art to all.

Joining Nathan at the party, recorded recently in the BBC’s Studio One, Broadcasting House in Belfast, will be comedian Patrick Kielty; singer Chloe Agnew, both now based in Los Angeles; singer/songwriter Catherine McGrath from Rostrevor, County Down; fellow singer/songwriter Brian Kennedy, and contemporary Irish Folk Rock band, All Folk’d Up In a mix of chat and music, with solos and duets, over the course of an hour, Nathan’s guests share some of their own personal memories and stories of St Patrick’s Day and perform songs which mean something to them. Singer/songwriter Chloe Agnew from Dublin and now living in Los Angeles has been performing since the age of six, released her first album at 13, and a year later became the youngest member of the globally successful Celtic Women. Chloe has also toured the US with Nathan and his band. She sings solo and duets with Nathan on the show. Belfast-born Brian Kennedy, who is preparing to celebrate 30 years in the music business, performs ‘Carrickfergus’ as a duet with Nathan. Catherine McGrath, who has been hailed by some as Northern Ireland’s answer to Taylor Swift, is from Rostrevor, County Down, and caught the eye of Sir Elton John, who was impressed with her songwriting and vocal ability. At 21, Catherine has already shared the bill with Michael Buble and Lady Antebellum, and joins Nathan to perform one of her own songs during the show. Comedian Patrick Kielty also pops in for a chat with Nathan and shares stories of St Patrick’s Day growing up in Dundrum and reveals how some people in the US, where he now lives with his wife and two sons, simply won’t believe his name is Patrick on St Patrick’s Day. All Folk’d Up, a five-piece contemporary Irish Folk Rock band from Aughnacloy, Dublin, Dundalk and Poland, complete the line-up for the show, performing their own arrangement of ‘Will Ye Go Lassie Go’. Nathan, who is from Liverpool, and has made Northern Ireland his second home, says: “We had a brilliant night’s craic recording the show with some really talented friends of mine. I hope the listeners will enjoy the show as we get St Patrick’s weekend off to a great start.” Nathan Carter’s St Patrick’s Day Party is made for BBC Radio Ulster by Tyrone Productions.

  • Guidelines to Making Programmes for BBC World Service
    Guidelines to Making Programmes for BBC World Service Titles and Descriptions It’s not just the programmes that need to have a sense of excitement and the ability to create curiosity in our audience and potential audience. Whatever we publish - titles, billings, online descriptions etc (known as ‘metadata’) - have an effect on how your programme performs on the web. Programme titles and descriptions should always be written in a way that encourages the most people to listen to it, makes the programme topic clear, and ensures visibility and findability across the web - in podcast provider spaces (such as Apple Podcasts, Spotify etc.), search engine results (such as Google) and other tech, such as voice-activated systems (such as Alexa). We need to have titles and programme descriptions five weeks before the transmission date. This ensures that both Press and Publicity have time to adequately promote the programme, and that these descriptions are ready in time for our automated systems. It can be difficult to update programme descriptions at some of their publication sites if the information arrives too close to transmission. Titles Indicate immediately what the programme or podcast is about. • Use clear simple language – no puns. Show the value of your content • Be succinct - take out any unnecessary words (use 50 characters max) • Put the words that convey most about the story at the front (apps may cut off the end of the title) • Use search terms so people can discover your content Examples of Good Titles • The Death Row book club • In search of the quarter-life crisis • ADHD and me • Finding the viruses that destroy superbugs • How Christo wrapped the Reichstag 1 Programme Descriptions We need you to provide two descriptions for each programme you deliver.

  • BBC Music Booklet Celebrating 80 Years of Music.Pdf
    Celebrating Years of Music A Serenade to Music “We are the music-makers And we are the dreamers of dreams…” (Arthur William Edgar O’Shaughnessy, Ode) The story of BBC Northern Ireland’s involvement in nurturing and broadcasting local musical talent is still in the making. This exhibition provides a revealing glimpse of work in progress at the BBC’s Community Archive in documenting the programmes and personalities who have brought music in all its different forms to life, and looks at how today’s broadcasters are responding to the musical styles and opportunities of a new century. It celebrates BBC NI’s role in supporting musical diversity and creative excellence and reflects changes in fashion, technology and society across 80 years of local broadcasting. “ Let us celebrate the way we were and the way we live now. Much has been achieved since 2BE’s first faltering (and scarcely heard) musical broadcast in 1924. Innovation has Let us celebrate the ways we will be... been a defining feature of every decade from early radio concerts in regional towns and country halls to the pioneering work of Sean O’Boyle in recording traditional music and Sam Hanna Bell’s 1950s programmes of Belfast’s Let us count the ways to celebrate. street songs.The broadcasts of the BBC Wireless Orchestra and its successors find their contemporary echo in the world-class performances of the Ulster Orchestra and BBC NI’s radio and television schedules continue to Let us celebrate.” reverberate to the diverse sounds of local jazz, traditional and country music, religious services, brass bands, choirs, (Roger McGough - Poems of Celebration) contemporary rock, pop and dance music.

  • Written Evidence Submitted by the BBC DCMS Select Committee Inquiry Into the Impact of Covid-19 on the DCMS Sectors
    Written evidence submitted by the BBC DCMS Select Committee Inquiry into the Impact of Covid-19 on the DCMS Sectors Executive Summary 1. Covid-19 has had a substantial impact on the BBC’s ability to produce programmes and services. Following advice from the WHO, public health organisations and the Government, the BBC closed the production of many programmes and services across its TV and radio output. The cancellation of key broadcasting events, ceasing of productions, and changes to schedules will continue to have an impact on what audiences see and hear across the BBC across the coming months. 2. Like other organisations continuing to operate during this crisis, the BBC has faced operational challenges. We’ve experienced reduced levels of staffing and the huge increase in demand for the BBC’s internal network as over 15,000 colleagues work from home. For those unable to work from home, safety is paramount and we’ve followed Government advice. 3. The BBC Board took the decision to delay changes to the over-75s licence fee from 1 June to 1 August during an unprecedented time. The decision is to be kept under review. 4. In response to Covid-19, the BBC took swift action at the start of the pandemic to repurpose our services and programmes for the benefit of all audiences ensuring we kept the nation informed, educated and entertained. 5. The BBC enhanced our core role to bring trusted news and information to audiences in the UK and around the world in a fast-moving situation, and to counter confusion and misinformation.
