I have been covering Celtic Connections since 2008, 14 years now! I enjoy the buzz and how much the musicians enjoy the collaborations – with Scottish folk meeting the traditions of countries worldwide. There is the variety of Glasgow venues – the atmospheric Old Fruitmarket, the classical City halls, the excitement of the main Glasgow Concert hall. PHOTOS of - Karen Matheson, Mat Martin, Julie Fowlis, Aly Bain, Dick Gaughan, Rab Noakes, Karine Polwart, Jerry Douglas, Eddi Reader, Nicola Benedetti, Blazin Fiddles, Richard Thomspon, Kris Drever, Rura, Idlewild, Dougie MacLean, Lucinda Williams. I get my top images at the best concerts, which happens often st Celtic Connections! It’s a thrill and honour and all the wonderful people I have met at the festival – the musicians, artists, promoters, photographers and more. A Big thanks to all at the CC team!
