The Quebe Sisters Band and Simon Bradley Trio - Friday 27th January - Tron Theatre
Something else completely different! Simon has only just launched his first album, recorded at the beautiful Grogarry Lodge on Uist and also called Grogarry Lodge. It's a stunning album of beautiful tunes. Anna Wendy and Simon are both outstanding musicians. They have been a great support to me and I was delighted when they asked me to join them at Grogarry. The album is available on Foot Stompin' and you can hear it live at this concert during Celtic Connections.Read More

Cuairt nan Eilean - Friday 20th January in St Andrews in the Square
The best thing about Celtic Connections is the opportunity it gives you to play with loads of different folks and every year I have been lucky to be able to do so. Cuart nan Eilean is the opeining show of 2011's Hebridean Celtic Festival and brings together three of my favourite Gaelic Singers - Darren Maclean, Jenna Cumming and Linda Macleod. I'll be joining some of my good pals - Patsy Reid, Fiona MacKaskill and James Mackenzie as instrumentalists to these great songs and singers.Read More
