from Shetland
Another chance to see the programme from this beautiful and remote part of the British Isles.
Magnus Magnusson meets JOHN MANSON , who returned to Shetland after many years to help liaise between the islanders and the oil men; and LOWRIE LEASK tells of the life of the crofter. RHODA BUTLER , a local poet, talks about her feelings for the dialect and the place.
People came from all over the outlying islands to sing in the Muckle Kirk in Lerwick, at one of the first television outside broadcasts made in Shetland. Hymns:
Love divine, all loves excelling (Hyfrydol); Da Loard's my hird
(Crimond); All people that on earth do dweU (Old Hundredth); Behold! the mountain of the Lord (Glasgow); Come together; Blest be the everlasting God (Bishopthorpe);
To God be the glory; Glory be to God the Father (Regent Square) Conductor JAMES HALCROW Producer DAVID KREMER Series producer
