2399 Days

Orkney, the small island chain off the north-eastern tip of Scotland, is officially the UK's cruise ship capital. In 2017, every cruise line in the world visited. On its busiest days, the capital of Kirkwall will see its population of 7000 almost double. As part of BBC1's Our Lives, Orkney: When The Boat Comes In captures the stories of Orcadians whose lives are impacted by the onslaught of tourists.

‘Buena Vista Social Club’ is both the name given to this extraordinary group of musicians and the album, recorded in just seven days in 1996 in Havana’s 1950s vintage EGREM studios.
