Amidst a worldwide weekend of festivities marking 250 years since Robert Burns’ birth, Celtic Connections presents perhaps the ultimate singers’ gathering, transcending genres, generations and national boundaries in a spirit to which the bard himself would surely raise a glass.
Unforgettable renderings of Burns’ own timeless songs will be heard alongside contemporary compositions articulating similarly universal themes. The Scottish performers hosting this once-in-a-lifetime occasion include Eddi Reader, Dick Gaughan, Karen Matheson, Michael Marra, Dougie MacLean, Emily Smith and The Cast, along with instrumental guests including John McCusker and Phil Cunningham.
Look out for details of one or two other very special visitors from the worlds of rock and pop, yet to be announced.
Celtic Connections was deeply saddened to hear the news of the death of Odetta who was due to take part in this concert. You can watch a video tribute to the singer, whose voice wove together American folk music and the civil rights movement, on the New York Times website.
