Transatlantic Sessions

Glasgow Royal Concert Hall : Main Auditorium

 Please Note: This is a past event event.

Don't worry we have plenty more current events to choose from.

Originally inspired by the landmark 1990s TV series of the same name, the Transatlantic Sessions continues to celebrate old friendships and develop new ones between the folk traditions of Scotland, Ireland and North America, bound together forever by the innumerable Celtic emigrants who transplanted their native traditions into the cross-fertilising soil of the New World. In recent years, thanks to today’s shrinking world, the musical traffic back and forth across the Pond is among the most energising forces at work on the folk scene at both ends. Tonight’s Scottish hosts – Aly Bain, Phil Cunningham, Donald Shaw and Karen Matheson – welcome back old friends Alison Brown, Gary West and Russ Barenberg, with a few surprise guests dropping in for an evening that combines a classic back-porch session with the ultimate Celtic ceilidh.
