From Annarep: Billy Boyd appeared on BBC Alba in a “Day in a Life” program. Great interview with a lot of information and some Beecake rehearsal footage. He also talks about LOTR and gives some interesting details – like being the first person cast for the movie.

Watch the interview on YouTube: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3.
