1st February 2018 at St Andrew’s in the Square, Glasgow.

“Baltimore Fiddle Fair” (a celebration of the West Cork festival).at Celtic Connections Festival, www.celticconnections.com/.

Country: Ireland. Style: Traditional Irish Folk.

Lineup: Liam Flanagan (fiddle), Derek Hickey button accordion).

This duo is formed of Liam Flanagan from Cork and Derek Hickey from Limerick. I have seen Hickey three times before with what were (more or less) three different De Dannans - in1995 with one of the later lineups of the original band, in 2007 with Frankie Gavin's Hibernian Rhapsody (before he began using the name De Dannan for his band), and in 2015 with Alec Finn's De Danann. For photos of the last of these see: www.flickr.com/photos/kmlivemusic/sets/72157651489173586/. He was also a guest of Brothers of the Free Reed earlier in this festival (www.flickr.com/photos/kmlivemusic/albums/72157693070788204/). I also saw Flanagan in 2005 as part of North Cregg at Cork Folk Festival.
