Ancient Land / Behind the scenes

I have to agree with all the posters so far, it was absolutely awesome. Not just the show but the castle, grounds, people one met, overall experience ... just lost for words.
Without wanting to preempt the behind the scenes segment on the new DVD (many fans were interviewed for their thoughts - I won't be included as I was wearing a jacket with too many logos!), I have posted a few unedited pictures of the castle, grounds show setup etc. from the first night (couldn't stay for the second night) -see link to Drive below.
While walking the grounds Thursday afternoon who should appear but the ladies themselves for a photo shoot. So WARNING, one of the photos is of the ladies in their first costumes (it would seem that costumes and descriptions have already emerged in photos and videos so don't look at the pics if you want to remain "in the dark" until PBS showings!
Megan was fabulous. Despite my fears of her voice being too operatic, she didn't use full operatic mode at the recording at all. She was obviously very nervous about her first appearance and filming and it was so lovely to see Éabha and Mairéad holding her hands and complimenting and encouraging her as they walked off stage - probably won't see that on the DVD.

Can't wait for November now and the Xmas tour.
