- a warm-up for Fiddlers Bid.

Take three girls from Donegal and add four boys from West Virginia and mix them all together on a Glasgow stage and the blend is Celtic. Well more Americana actually but foot stomping none the less! All of a sudden we realise what Celtic connections is all about - collaboration. They met at a festival last year and the magic began.

Original and cleverly mastered round just one big old -style microphone the bands take turns to lead throughout the songs in a musical merry go round that delights the Royal Concert hall regulars and first timers alike. It's like being back in the fifties ( I imagine) and listening to American radio on the short wave. We meet the girls and boys later back at the hotel - a dram or two were had (networking, I call it), and I think we will see them in the Highlands before long - watch this space.. www.forargyll.com
