Artbeat is an arts show that was broadcast from 1998 until 2007 in the Mid and Northwest region of Ireland. For almost a decade Artbeat highlighted the arts in the region and the many artists, performers and community arts projects both from here in Ireland and abroad.
We are currently placing the highlights of Artbeat on Podcasts.ie for your enjoyment. You can imagine this a major body of work with the best bits from almost 500 hour long shows.

Jan 17, 2010. Finally found my way here, Jho. Glad I did. Working my way through the Archive. Very well done.
Thanks for the effort. I look forward to future episodes.

OK, Jho, I am subscribed. I don’t quite know what that means. A quick check on the web seems to indicate my Firefox browser toolbar will have a an icon indicating when new content is up on the site. Not sure if that is too much convenience (just another gaget) or if it is useful. I have no trouble bookmarking a site and going there to check on new material, but I will give the RSS feed a try.
What about a bulletin board or forum? Is this it? Or is it elsewhere?
Now I have to catch up on all the shows so I can talk about them here or on a forum.
Looking forward to a continued shared music experience with you, Jho, here on Podcasts.ie.
Best wishes.

Hi Bob
Yes the RSS Feed may be seen as another little gadget, so far it will tell you when new posts or content has been added and add into your favourites.
We are looking into a forum too but at the moment it takes a lot of time to moderate but it is certainly something we will consider in the future.
Hope you are enjoying your time at the site – there is lots more to come and we are currently organising recordings from musicians and more
authors for inclusion.
Thanks for stopping by.

Hello Admin.
Just to let you know my location, I am in the Albany/Troy area of “Upstate” New York, USA, about 130 miles due north (up the Husdon River) from New York City. Albany is the capital of New York State and although the “Capital District” area of Albany-Troy-Schenectady has a rich Dutch heritage, Irish is foremost among those claiming immigrant ancestral roots: Irish (18.1%), Italian (12.4%), German (10.4%), English (5.2%), and Polish (4.3%).
My own family roots trace back to Wales, but I am proud to say that I am “Irish by marriage”.
I have known Jho Harris for a few years via the Internet and enjoy his music selection, stories, and interviews.
Thanks for providing this site.
