毎年この時期恒例の音楽イベント Celtic Connections。今年もやってまいりました。
本当にいつか覗いてみたいものですね。
The Burns Unit and Broken Records
Two years on from their triumphant debut gig at Celtic Connections, Scottish/Canadian supergroup The Burns Unit muster again in Glasgow, after rave reviews for their 2010 album Side Show. First brought together by the Burnsong project, they brilliantly fulfil that founding brief of making new music “in the spirit of Burns”, demolishing genre boundaries with such originality, artistry and élan as to do Rabbie proud. Their richly kaleidoscopic sound, self-styled as “indie pop meets carnival rock”, unites a sumptuous panoply of voices, songcraft and instrumentation, featuring King Creosote, Karine Polwart, Emma Pollock, Future Pilot AKA, MC Soom T, Kim Edgar, Mattie Foulds, Michael Johnston.
Tickets: £16
