Following up on myself, here's the direct link to the event page...

This is especially great cos Celtic Connections is such a big prestigious festival up here - it's been a while since Nick's been, and especially to get a headlining spot there (in a really cool venue IMHO) is FAB!

BBC4 have given Celtic Connections some good coverage before so let's hope that continues.

To be fair, the whole programme for the Festival is immense. I'm travelling 5 hours from my northern redoubt to catch some of it this time around, so some of you from the poor benighted southlands, that I abandoned to their fate, could do worse than head north for it. You will not be disappointed.

I'd have to agree - there's always tons on, and the Festival Club every night besides. This year, in addition to Nick, I may try to see the Burns Unit (Karine Polwart and King Creosote 'supergroup') and my friend wants to check out Cerys Matthews so I may go with her to that. Plus I have a feeling Big Chris may be around and about, and if he doesn't see Shooglenifty I'd be terribly surprised

As *luck* would have it, the owner of The Classic Grand is a colleague of one of my friend and journo colleagues. I think we can be assured of a royal reception that night! Reviews are already in hand too!
