Following the sell-out success of the UCS 40th Anniversary Concert, and the various other events detailed on this blog, today is announced the ‘Son of’ the 40th Anniversary Concert.
As Celtic Connections 2012 is launched, one of the key elements in an increasingly political programme is a further concert. The final line-up for this concert has not yet been announced, but potentially it involves a number of the artists who played on the 1 October date, plus some additions. The most detailed information on the line-up is on the Scottish Music Industry Association website where Arthur Johnston, David Hayman, Jimmie MacGregor, Eddie McGuire and Tom Leonard are listed.
While the bill may be fluid, the date is fixed - in the Old Fruitmarket on the final day of the Festival - Sunday 5 February. Bookings are already being taken on line via the Celtic Connections website
The Celtic Connections launch received wide attention in the media with the Concert given a high profile. The most comprehensive report is by Robert Dawson-Scott on STV. He also refers to the planned Woody Guthrie Centenary celebrations, and the concert with Justin Currie and Palestinian musician Kamilya Jubran. Tributes will also be made to Gerry Rafferty and Ray Fisher.
Other UCS events planned for the future include a screening of the Cinema Action films - UCS1, and Class Struggle, Film from the Clyde. Keep your eye on this blog for further information as it becomes available
