Programme 1
In this programme, Fil sings "Love's Old Sweet Song" with special guest Sean Keane and remembers the life and songs of the sensational RUBY MURRAY.

With archive footage, film clips, and interviews with Phil Coulter, Belfast Telegraph Editor Eddie McIlwaine, her children Tim Murray and Julie Burgess, her accompanist and good friend Marie Cunningham and many more.

Ruby Murray (1935-1996), from Belfast, went into the record books in 1955 for having 5 songs in the Top Twenty in the same week - "Heartbeat", "Softly, Softly", "Let Me Go Lover", "Happy Days and Lonely Nights", and "If Anyone Finds This I Love You "- a record which has never been, and probably never will be, surpassed.

In 1954, BBC producer, Richard Afton, saw her in a variety show which was running in London, and signed her immediately as vocalist on a TV series called "Quite Contrary". Within 2 days of the first broadcast she had made her first recording and in a matter of months her follow up single, "Heartbeat", went into the charts and there began her meteoric rise to fame which lasted well into 1956. She went on to have an outstanding career which took her several times around the world and saw her record almost 200 songs in her lifetime including many Irish standards. Ruby is dearly loved by fans and is remembered for her humour and beautiful voice. The excellent website www.rubymurray.org has lots more information about her life.
