2003 Tattoo released on Video and DVD
Posted
20th October 2003
This
week sees the release of a new DVD and Video recording of highlights
from this year's record-breaking 54th Edinburgh Tattoo.
With
extraordinary exclusive footage not shown on TV and unprecedented
behind-the-scenes access providing further previously unreleased
material for the DVD, this impressive 90-minute programme captures
the spectacular music and action from the Tattoo's most successful
ever season.
An
additional 20-minutes of never-before-seen bonus material is carried
on the DVD where intimate preparations of some of the most demanding
displays staged at the Tattoo are revealed alongside the stirring
sights, sounds and music of an event probably unrivalled anywhere
else in the world.
Said
Tattoo Chief Executive & Producer, Brigadier Melville Jameson:
"With the public's appetite for the Tattoo seemingly undiminished,
this new film, which is likely to be popular, will I hope help
relive some of those magical moments from August."
Featuring
numerous bands from home and abroad, including the world-famous
Massed Pipes & Drums, Switzerland's Top Secret Drum Corps
and The Band of The Bermuda Regiment and Gombey Dancers, simply
sets the scene for an inspiring showcase of one of Scotland's
most loved events which this new recording readily encapsulates.
It also features musical favourites such as Scots Wha Hae,
Auld Lang Syne and the acclaimed Conquest of Paradise
from Ridley Scott's epic Hollywood movie '1492' by Greek composer,
Vangelis.
Coverage
of this spectacular show was recorded by the BBC and includes
the voice of famous Scottish actor and narrator, Tom Fleming while
West Linton-based film production company, Electric Picture Machine,
produced the extra material for the DVD.
