The Place To Be In January
Another night in Glasgow and another live gig at Pacific Quay - this time a special edition of Global Gathering featuring some of the best world music from the Celtic Connections festival.
I enjoyed the first half while driving back across town after visiting my Dad. The sound was superb and I made a mental note to congratulate our audio staff..a group of people who get taken for granted far too often, especially by the likes of me.
I made it back into the building in time to see Mary Ann Kennedy (does she ever sleep?) introduce a session of Celtic-Jazz fusion. It was all happening in front of a audience of two hundred people in our large reception foyer, which is fast gaining a reputation as a new venue for live music in the city. Tonight it looked like a funky jazz club, lit in neon shades of blue and purple.
But I tell you, if you're a fan of Celtic or Folk music you'd be mad not to come to Glasgow during these weeks in January. The musical talent in town is simply breath-taking.
And yes...I did remember to thank the audio crew.
