A classic Celtic Connections bill, featuring a contrasting trio of top roots acts from Scotland, Ireland and the US – but with one major difference. “House band” for all three will be the massed symphonic might of the City Halls’ resident ensemble, the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra.
Fiddle legend Frankie Gavin, who launched his new De Dannan line-up in 2009, featuring four of Ireland’s brightest young traditional stars, already has impressive form with orchestras in the band’s previous incarnation. The multicoloured sonic tapestries woven by banjo doyenne Alison Brown, with her virtuoso bass/piano/drums line-up, likewise offer fertile scope for orchestral arrangements, which will also lend extra resonance and atmosphere to Dundee bard Michael Marra’s grittily bittersweet balladry.
