Heading West: a story about band called Shooglenifty
Monday 30 January, 2023 – 2.45 p.m.
Screening to coincide with Celtic Connections
When the frontman of a band dies, can the other members carry on without him?
Together for more than quarter of a century and loved all over the world, Scottish band Shooglenifty are devastated when Angus, their fiddle-playing frontman, gets ill and dies just a few months later.
Starting with celebratory concerts in Glasgow and Galicia, the band look back on their long career, reflect on the music that Angus has left them, and – with a little help from fiddle-playing friends – get through a year of grief and introspection. As part of the process they record a moving tribute to their late frontman in the Mehrangarh Fort, Rajasthan. Returning home to Scotland, they discover that the music does indeed live on.
This screening will be followed by a Q&A with director Don Coutts and members of Shooglenifty.
