Winter Fest

So that's us well into the 2nd week in January already! This normally marks the start of the bad weather and people retreat indoors to a warm place by the fire to weight out this bleak month - however it seems that this year, winter arrived earlier than normal leaving us free to enjoy the onset of Celtic Connections. Quite possibly the only redeeming feature of January in Scotland?? and the best cure for the post new year hangover. What else would you do in Scotland in January?

I'll be hoping to catch a few shows this year and will report back on any that I manage to see. A few highlights are: the long awaited reunion gig of Love & Money, The Waterboys, Richard Thomson, perhaps the oldest group in the world - The Blind Boys of Alabama aswell as some of the best UK grassroots level artists at Hazy Recollections.

There are always too many too choose from (over 1500) but I am not complaining, so bring on the best part of winter - Celtic Connections.
