Subject: Scots-Irish Celebration August on PBS
July 21, 2005
Dear Friends,
WLIW New York Public Television is proud to announce the premiere of ON EAGLE'S WING, a celebration of the Scots-Irish journey to America, premiering this August on PBS (see listings below). A program description with song list follows below along with airdate information.
I hope you will help us spread the word about this exciting new program, and let your friends, family and colleagues know about what we are doing to increase awareness of Scots-Irish history and culture. If you do not see an airdate for your market included please check with your local PBS station to see if they plan to air ON EAGLE'S WING. Be sure to let them know that there is a large Scots-Irish community out there to support the broadcast.
Support of this program with a membership pledge will send a strong message to public television programmers and producers across the country - it may help get the special distributed to PBS stations that haven't yet committed to airing it, and could lead to production of additional programs by WLIW New York further exploring the Scots-Irish legacy. The DVD or VHS of the special, with bonus material that won't be broadcast, is available as a "thank you" gift for a donation of $100 as a fundraiser for Scots-Irish cultural programming on public television.
In addition, WLIW's latest aerial production, VISIONS OF SCOTLAND, will air nationally on PBS this August. VISIONS OF SCOTLAND provides a thrilling tour of the country's historic and picturesque destinations. For more information on this program please see the release below.
If you would like copies of the ON EAGLE'S WING promotional flier to distribute to members of any organizations you belong to, please reply to this email or call me at 212.560.8824. If you are affiliated with a media outlet, please let me know if you would like a preview copy of the program.
Feel free to share this information with anyone you think will be interested that I may have missed. We look forward to hearing the community response about this landmark Scots-Irish musical production.
Thank you in advance to those who can help us promote this premiere. If you would like to be removed from this email list for future information, please reply to sender.
Sincerely,
Natasha Padilla

ON EAGLE'S WING PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
ON EAGLE'S WING explores the heritage and history of the Scots-Irish in a breathtaking original musical production that debuted at the Odyssey Arena in Belfast in 2004 as the largest musical theatrical stage production in the world. Irish recording artist Peter Corry (best known as "Javert" in Les Miserables) leads a cast of actors, dancers, choirs, bands, pipes, fifes, drums, and full orchestra. The compelling story is set in both the past and the present, but the themes are timeless and universal - emigration, separation, love and loyalty. The soundtrack is almost exclusively original music by John Anderson.
The Scots-Irish helped define working class America as our country developed. Country Music, NASCAR racing, and more than ¼ of America's presidents trace their roots to the Scots-Irish, and more Americans than ever are identifying themselves as Scots-Irish with the Census Bureau. Today, there are more than 22 million people in the United States who are of Scots-Irish descent, but many only know their heritage through their surname. ON EAGLE'S WING tells their story in a celebration that is innovative and spectacular in its presentation.
ON EAGLE'S WING is a parallel of modern day and historic events. The show opens in modern America starting with the anthem "Do You Know Who You Are?," inspiring a look back into the past to see the echoes of history in modern actions. Starting in Scotland and continuing through Ireland and America, spanning 500 years in song and dance, the show weaves historical re-enactments throughout the musical drama. The show gets its name from the first immigrant vessel out of Ireland to the U.S., called "Eagle's Wing."
Jimmy Carter, himself one of 17 U.S. Presidents of Scots-Irish descent, said about the stage show taped in Belfast last year, "Just as Riverdance was successful in portraying Irish culture through music and dance, so will On Eagle's Wing facilitate a better appreciation for the story of the Scots-Irish."
A production of WLIW New York and Straight Forward Productions, Ltd. Conceived and Written by John Anderson. Executive Producer for WLIW New York: Roy A. Hammond. Executive Producers for Straight Forward Productions, Ltd.: Ian S. Kennedy and John Nicholson. This program made possible in part by Tourism Ireland.
WLIW New York is the fourth most-watched public television station in the United States, with an average weekly cumulative audience of nearly two million households in the New York metropolitan area. As a resource for public television stations, WLIW distributes live daily broadcasts of BBC World News, and is the producer of PBS specials including the VISIONS aerial series, cultural documentaries celebrating the cultural diversity of America, and music specials.

VISIONS OF SCOTLAND PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
VISIONS OF SCOTLAND is a thrilling tour of Scotland's historic and picturesque destinations from the heather-clad hills of the Highlands to the low-lying borderlands, shot in high definition from a helicopter-mounted camera and set to regional music with informative narration.
Starting in the south at Selkirk, once host to a revolutionary army but now the picture of tranquility, VISIONS OF SCOTLAND explores the complexity of the country's geography and history from a new perspective. In the popular destination capital at Edinburgh dramatically set on a series of volcanic eruptions, viewers trace the royal mile of restored buildings recreating the city's medieval beauty, climb the 287 steps of the memorial to Sir Walter Scott (Rob Roy, The Bride of Lamamoor) without catching their breath, and experience the romance of castles and fortresses. The aerial view offers an unprecedented angle from which to search the mysterious deeps of the Loch Ness, and the lush greens at St. Andrews golf course where the game began are seen from above the sightline of the longest drive. This journey through great glens, stunning waterways, sacred abbeys, hardy fishing ports and craggy heights showcases a bright, legendary land like never before.
WLIW New York's popular VISIONS series also includes VISIONS OF ITALY, VISIONS OF GREECE, VISIONS OF ENGLAND, and VISIONS OF GERMANY.
Produced by WLIW New York. Executive Producer/Aerial Director: Roy A. Hammond; Producer/Writer: Sam Toperoff; Camera Operator: Grant Bieman.
WLIW New York is the fourth most-watched public television station in the United States, with an average weekly cumulative audience of nearly two million households in the New York metropolitan area. As a resource for public television stations, WLIW distributes live daily broadcasts of BBC World News, and is the producer of PBS specials including the VISIONS aerial series, cultural documentaries celebrating the cultural diversity of America, and music specials.
