The Special C. on video

If it seems too long since the Special Consensus was here in January, and much too long till the next time they come over, thank Cathal Cusack for the news that the band can be seen and heard online, on the Woodsongs Old Time Radio Hour TV show hosted by folksinger Michael Johnathon. The archives of this show are a treasury of appearances by bands such as J. D. Crowe & the New South.

In their part of show #437, the Special C. are clearly having a good time as they play 'Trail of aching hearts', 'Blue skies', 'Carolina in the pines', 'Branded wherever I go', and the Niall Toner composition 'Josie's reel'.

Rein Wortelboer, one of Europe's premier bluegrass radio presenters, has recently played on his show the Special C.'s version of 'Josie's reel' and the NTB's own version of another Niall Toner song, 'Chainsaw country blues'.
