A feast of celtic-ness......
The two guys sitting opposite me look like they haven't been to bed in a month! However, they have been working on our massive Celtic Connections online coverage so there is every chance that is the case. It's not like they have been chained to their desk though.
Nick and Paul have spent the festival going from gig to gig armed with cameras and sound equipment to record some exclusive footage for the website. If you are a celtic music fan then that has got to be the dream job - either that or being Karine Polwart's roadie.
If you haven't taken a look at their handiwork then please do. There are some great clips on there including a jaw dropping Parcel of Rogues from Dick Gaughan. More clips are going up every dayÌýand on the way soon, some greatÌýfootage of this year'sÌýTransatlantic Sessions....

I was at the Transatlantic Sessions on Sunday and it was excellent. Jerry Douglas was great as always and I'm looking forward to the Ö÷²¥´óÐã programme on February 15th.

It is a great festival and I wish I had seen more. I have a funny photo of Tift Merritt taken in the venue where she looks awfully surprised!
Thanks again SG for the ticket and the other pointers!
