Celtic Connections

We popped off to Glasgow for a much anticipated concert last week. The Blogs are great fans of Celtic music and Celtic Connections seemed destined to fit the bill.

The organisers had decided to invite an orchestra from North West Spain. (I can only surmise that Galicia was once part of Dal Riada). The orchestra brought a small choir with them who sang about seagulls. The song didn't have any words and seemed to be more of a group impersonation of seagulls fighting over a bag of chips on the seafront at Aberdeen.

Still the Galicians seemed to have a ball. One of them thanked us for the "worm welcome"

...and then thanked us for "our enery". Sadly they didn't specify which one. Still a good time had by all!
