To Heaven and Beyond! A Con Brio Rock Odyssey (Good Evening Ulster)
Join Con Brio on a journey through sound
Con Brio are the smallest dance band with the biggest sound. The duo are Gavin Bailie (drums) and Gerald Downey (synthisizers/organ). They were working in a music shop when they decided to take a chance and chase their dreams. They received a loan from the bank and hit the road. This feature contains an interview with the musicians. You can also 'feel the force' of their music in a special performance.

A Walk on the Weird Side
The extraordinary, the absurd and the downright weird combine in this collection of reports from UTV’s nightly Good Evening Ulster news programme.
Despite the often bleak aspect of local news in Northern Ireland during the decades relating to The Troubles, ordinary - and sometimes extraordinary - life continued on. This series of some of the more off-the-wall reports from the UTV news archives shows the citizens of Northern Ireland engaging in unusual schemes, fundraisers, pastimes and humorous events.
From Earl Bird attempting to set a new world record for non-stop yodelling to a nuclear bunker disco, from a pub with no beer to a canine snooker referee, you’ll find this collection full to the brim with the odd, the eccentric and the full-on weird.
