Live Review: Featuring songs from her debut album, Kim Carnie opened the sold-out evening at Glasgow’s Royal Concert Hall, followed by Duncan Chisholm’s premiere of his new album Black Cuillin. Supported by a cast of top-notch musicians, it was a hugely entertaining evening. #folk #folkmusic #celticconnections https://www.folkradio.co.uk/2023/02/live-review-duncan-chisholm-and-kim-carnie-celtic-connections/

Final night for me at #CelticConnections and Ciaran Ryan is an excellent start.
Banjo-tastic!

It's #BandcampFriday so I thought I'd go through my #CelticConnections gigs and put up some links/remember to actually buy stuff.
First up is the support from a week past Saturday, Moonlight Benjamin. A Haitian-French rock thing I was impressed with.

Back at the #CelticConnections for a bit of a different one in the Tramway with Anna Meredith.
Intriguing, if not what I would have expected at a 'folk' festival.

Latest Review: Kim Edgar’s ‘Consequences’ features collaborations with the likes of Louis Abbott, Rachel Sermanni, James Grant, Boo Hewerdine, and Horse McDonald. It was initially released as a song a month but is now gathered together in this superbly ambitious album to be launched at Celtic Connections. #folk #folkmusic #americana #celticconnections #albumreview https://www.folkradio.co.uk/2023/01/kim-edgar-consequences/

Another great #CelticConnections concert tonight. 👏 First, Sarah Jane Summers + Juhani Silvola + wonderful band, followed by Alasdair Fraser + Natalie Haas doing amazing things with just a fiddle and a cello 😊🤩

So that’s my last #celticconnections gig for 2023 and in truth I’ve been homesick most of the day. So you know, good bits, hard bits. Can’t wait to see the famalam.

@germ I’m all folk n roots with #celticconnections

Amazing gig last night #CelticConnections Le Vent Du Nord played a blinder for 20th anniversary concert with not one but two other bands on stage with them! Braebach Julie Fowlis Grosse Illes you were brilliant. Utter joy in my favourite large venue #fruitmarketglasgow #CCFest23

What a treat to hear a queer trad love song tonight at #celticconnections - trad/folk music still not massively inclusive of different voices/experiences so it was unexpected joy to listen to these fine fellas https://www.vri.cymru/about

Yonks since I've been here. It's the Fruit Market for a spot of exercising my lesser seen Quebecois side with a #CelticConnections gig from La Vent du Nord.

Here we go for #caradillon and #VRi at #celticconnections

Managed to get the last ticket for #katerusby tonight at #celticconnections so I have got to pay some kindness forward today for all the joy the universe is giving me right now.

Just an off the scale good gig with #marychapincarpenter #karinepolwart #juliefowlis #robertvincent #johndoyle #AnnaCorcoran at #celticconnections #glasgow - a night I’ll long remember.

Near first stop for me in any city that has one is the botanical garden! #glasgow #celticconnections

Blue skies above, nice apartment, just gonna hunker down with macaroni cheese #glasgow #celticconnections #nocowboysyet
