0:41:13 > 0:41:15that is here on the island, north and south,
0:41:15 > 0:41:19and through Clandeboye festival here near Bangor we do a lot of that

0:46:41 > 0:46:46# Who invented such a joy?
0:46:46 > 0:46:54# But the question got the better of his scientific mind
0:46:54 > 0:47:00# And to his blind and dying days
0:47:00 > 0:47:07# He looked up high And often sighed
0:47:07 > 0:47:10# And sometimes cried
0:47:10 > 0:47:18# Who puts the rainbow in the sky?
0:47:19 > 0:47:28# Who lights the stars at night?
0:47:28 > 0:47:36# Who dreamt up someone so divine?

0:47:55 > 0:48:00# But just remember the alternative
0:48:00 > 0:48:04# For I remember when
0:48:04 > 0:48:13# I was lonely and unhappy And my lips were cold as ice
0:48:13 > 0:48:18# But you kissed me and good heavens
0:48:18 > 0:48:22# Now I'm here in paradise
0:48:22 > 0:48:31# So if ever I'm not kissing you Or looking in your eyes

0:50:53 > 0:50:56he thought the song Over The Rainbow was a real drag,
0:50:56 > 0:50:59he thought it slows the whole thing down and he wanted it taken out.
0:50:59 > 0:51:02Now, it was just the dedication of one of the associate producers
0:51:02 > 0:51:05who insisted that it go in, thank goodness it did
0:51:05 > 0:51:08because what a song - it has become one of the all-time greats.

0:53:49 > 0:53:57# And wake up where the stars are far behind me
0:53:57 > 0:54:00# Where troubles melt like lemon drops
0:54:00 > 0:54:03# Away above the chimney tops
