• At last, the missing link in this unrivalled set of musical programmes in which some of the very best roots musicians from Scotland, Ireland and the USA get together in a Highland hideaway to sing and play their hearts out. Series 2 was first broadcast in 1998 and is now finally available on DVD.

• For some, the new release will be a long-awaited welcome back, for others a pleasurable hello to some unique musical combinations. Nanci Griffith, Ricky Skaggs, Maura O’Connell, Paul Brady, Eddi Reader and the late John Martyn are just some of the stars getting it together with the Sessions house band under the musical co-direction of Aly Bain and – first time in the job – Jerry Douglas.
