Originally inspired by the eponymous landmark TV series in 1995 and 1998, the Transatlantic Sessions are now a key annual fixture of Celtic Connections’ programme, bringing together top folk and roots artists from America and Scotland to perform in new and one-off combinations.
Under the original musical co-direction of Shetland fiddler Aly Bain and US guitar virtuoso Russ Barenberg, the 2007 gathering promises to rank among the most memorable yet.
A truly glittering cast of vocal talent includes America’s Rosanne Cash and Bruce Molsky, Scotland’s Karen Matheson and acclaimed Canadian trio the Wailin’ Jennys.
Molsky and the Jennys will also be contributing to a similarly impressive instrumental line-up, with Bain and Barenberg joined by dobro genius Jerry Douglas, accordionists Donald Shaw and Phil Cunningham, bassist Garry West, percussionist James Mackintosh, and Michael McGoldrick on flutes, whistles and uilleann pipes.
Additionally, there will be a special appearance by Darrell Scott who will fly in specifically for the closing concert of the festival.
