Transatlantic Sessions with Special Guests

7:30pm GMT*

Join us for a Transatlantic Sessions like any other; connecting musicians who while oceans apart still manage to come together to celebrate Celtic Connections 2021, and the power of music to draw us together even as we are far apart.

From Glasgow Royal Concert Hall, long-time comrades and linchpins of the Transatlantic Sessions, Aly Bain, Phil Cunningham, John McCusker, Michael McGoldrick, James Mackintosh and Donald Shaw take the stage with guests Euan Burton, Julie Fowlis & Kris Drever, with remote recording and appearance from core team member Jerry Douglas. Irish guitarist & singer John Doyle leads the Nashville contingent with previous guests and friends of the festival Molly Tuttle, Tim O’Brien, Alison Brown and Stuart Duncan.

Taking advantage of this unique setup, Transatlantic Sessions 2021 will also feature special performances from previous Transatlantic Sessions BBC series.

*This performance will be available to watch for one week after the live date to accommodate different time zones.

This performance is included in the Celtic Connections 2021 festival pass, so you will not need to purchase this event if you have already purchased a pass.
