On the Sky Arts 1 website, they list their upcoming shows and this includes :-

No clue if this will show anything from the Prog stage but there's hope! :)

Oh pedro, you are fantastic sometimes.

I missed high voltage due to a holiday in Amsterdam due to the fact that my favourite bands were some of the last to be added to the bill  :roll: I'll be watching this when its on for sure

Yet another great sounding programme illudes me on Sky Arts.  :(  Oh well, I wonder what this could turn out to be? There were big video cameras everywhere.

I wonder if they'll show Wishbone Ash?   :evil:

LOL @ Rog
@El: Just doing ma job! ;)

I suspect that the Sky Arts show will focus on the bigger names at the event.
I don't suppose there will be much of the "lesser" bands but I'll be happy to be wrong on that. It depends on how "mainstream" they set-out to be. The trails for the Centre Stage series only mention big names from the several fests they will be covering but this makes sense from a marketing point of view.
The fear is that they might play the Hobbit card and dismiss the Prog stage as "weird" but, again, happy to be proved wrong.
There certainly won't be any Hackett or Zappa cos they were not filmed at all (unless Sky Arts had handhelds I did't see). I don't know what the main stage did or didn't film. I know that ELP are going to release a DVD/BluRay so there may not be too much of them either - which gives me hope that coverage will spread back to the smaller and other stages.
Looking forward to finding out what they do.

Awesome! I would put it on record but unfortunately our Sky+ box recently died so we've had to put together a new system from and old sky box we had in the loft with the sky+ viewing card, which don't seem to like each other too much and the result of that is we can't get sky movies or sky sports, which we have paid for in our subscription to sky! :evil:

We've been down-graded to "Sky minus," also known as "sky-"

This could change
I wonder if Sky has asked the Copeland Estate for permission to show Fanfare for the Common Man?

owen

Shouldn't be a problem as the
Mr Copeland himself give ELP permission so I don't think the lawyers can do much

rogerg

one little correction:  it's COPLAND, no e.  Aaron is no relation to Stewart.   8-)
