I just found a great website, maintained by the BBC. They’ve compiled many of their recordings of TV coverage from the Apollo era in a Moon Landings Archive. Here you can watch the same news coverage that we, in the UK, saw at the time, as well as some more recent documentary shows.
Also we are coming up to a big anniversary. 14th April will mark 40 years since the accident that prevented Apollo 13 landing on the Moon. This is close to the date for Yuri’s Night (12th April) and will likely be a focus for space enthusiasts around the world. Arbelos hopes to perform a new song for Apollo 13 at the Dumfries Yuri’s Night party on 10th April.
Over on the Arbelos site, Noel has been hard at work spring-cleaning. One of the benefits has been the Band Camp plugin which allows visitors to make code for their very
own music plug-ins. I’ve added two in an HTML box over on the sidebar. So now I can listen to Arbelos music whenever I like. Just click on the share links to make your own. 
There will be more news to come of Arbelos as the 2010 touring schedule shapes up.
I’m working to put this blog onto Twitter now. You can follow me there by checking my links page. Hopefully one of these WP plugins will magically have all of this bloggy goodness up on Twitter, too.
Unusually, Scotland is still receiving fresh snow, more than two weeks into this cold weather. Looks like most of the country’s councils have now run out of road salt and we’re in for a deep freeze this year. Schools haven’t gone back after the Christmas holiday and Dumfries and Galloway’s children can enjoy uninterrupted sledging. Let’s hope the gas supply holds out.
