'Rock Music, Rock Art' is a cultural exchange adventure that set out to discover musical sounds of our earliest ancestors and fuse two very different music styles. A group of contemporary western classical musicians and traditional African musicians journey in perilous canoes to a remote island in Lake Victoria to make music using the most elaborate prehistoric 'rock gongs' on the African continent.

The Celts - From Camelot to Christ
The slow collapse of the Roman Empire saw the arrival of new cultures which threatened the Celts. The program claims that the British king, Vortigern, invited the Anglo Saxons into Britain to help fight the Picts but that they betrayed his trust and gradually took over the island. The brief halt in the Saxon invasion in the 5th century had been attributed to the legendary King Arthur, at this stage a Celtic hero. This came to an end when thousands died from the bubonic plague.
