Tomblands Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 http://video.thirteen.org/series/show/144 That's the "first episode" (although, to me, it appears to be some sort of highlights program...) of the Highland Heartbeat program thingy featuring Jillian Isbister. It's clearly produced for the American market. I couldn't work out though if the concert scenes were filmed in the UK, or actually filmed in America. I'm not sure exactly what is Scottish about "Bridge Over Troubled Water" though, any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malachy Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 That's a very interesting video Mr Tomblands, thank you for posting it. I wonder what other people thought... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soljey Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 I'm not sure exactly what is Scottish about "Bridge Over Troubled Water" though, any ideas? There is a sort of a Scottish connection though. In 1969, when writing Bridge over Troubled Water (and many of the other songs on the album of the same name) Paul Simon & Art Garfunkel were staying in a cottage near Oban. Of course, the bridge the girls walk across in the video is at Eilan Donan Castle in Dornie in Wester Ross. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Njugle Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 It's clearly produced for the American market. I couldn't work out though if the concert scenes were filmed in the UK, or actually filmed in America. Scotland I think, this article confirms it was filmed in Scotland for the American market and provides some interesting background. It is also quite interesting to Google the program name and see all the American station IDs link to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nederlander Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Was nothing at all like I expected, seemed really over the top, theatrical and gimmicky, but then again I suppose it is for the American market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
