Transatlantic Sessions

A Celtic Connections staple and the epitome of what the festival is all about, the Transatlantic Sessions bring together musicians from the Celtic and Americana traditions for a night of fresh collaborations between familiar faces. Musical directors for this year's sessions are Shetland fiddle legend Aly Bain and dobro star Jerry Douglas, singers include Raul Malo, Ruth Moody of The Walin' Jennys, Declan O'Rourke, Eddi Reader, Karen Matheson, Tim O'Brien, Darrell Scott and Bruce Molsky, and the house band line-up is stellar enough to be the main attraction at most other folk concerts. Part of Celtic Connections.
