6th February 2015 at the Royal Festival Hall, London SE1.

Country: Britain (including Scotland) & United States. Style: Traditional Scottish & Irish & American (Old Time) Folk & Americana.

Lineup: Jerry Douglas (dobro/lap steel g/v/MD), Aly Bain (fiddle/MD), Rodney Crowell (v/g), Patty Griffin (v/g), Kathleen MacInnes (v), Tim O'Brien (v/mandolin/fiddle/banjo), Dirk Powell (v/banjo/accordion/fiddle), John Smith (v/g/mandolin), Sara Watkins (v/fiddle), John McCusker (fiddle/whistle), Michael McGoldrick (flute/whistle/uilleann pipes), Phil Cunningham (piano accordion/p), Donald Shaw (p/harmonium/piano accordion), Russ Barenberg (g/mandolin), John Doyle (g/bouzouki/v), Danny Thompson (b), James Mackintosh (d).

This was the sixth year in a row that I've seen Transatlantic Sessions in London on its post-Celtic Connections tour. The band rarely changes (and I include Tim O'Brien and Dirk Powell in that category although they take a turn at singing), but the vocalist are usually change each year. This was the second time for Patty Griffin (previously 2006) and Sara Watkins (previously 2010), but the first time for Rodney Crowell, Kathleen MacInnes and John Smith.
