Celtic Connections - collaborations

At Celtic Conntections there are also crossovers between folk and American bluegrass. It's often though taking music in new directions and through challenging and interesting collaborations that the best music occurs.

Jerry Douglas Transatlantic Sessions

Photos of Jerry Douglas, American world-renowned Dobro master, performing at Transatlantic Sessions Glasgow Concert hall, as part of Celtic Connections 2014.

There was the emotion of Aly’s fiddle and the highly individual melodic drama of Jerry Douglas’s resonator guitar - a highlight of the night is his solo, at the start of the second half. (Douglas is an award winning American Dobro master). I enjoy his guitar melodies such as his tune for Aly Bain.

 He is a Music Director of the popular BBC Television series, "Transatlantic Sessions".  Since 1998, Douglas has been a member of Alison Krauss and Union Station.   Copyright Pauline Keightley.
