26th January 2020 at Grand Hall, City Halls, Glasgow,
The Big Six-O Birthday Bash, Celtic Connections Festival, www.celticconnections.com/.
Country: Britain (including Scotland). Style: Traditional Scottish Folk.
Lineup: Phil Cunningham (piano accordion/p/whistle), Aly Bain (fiddle), John McCusker (fiddle/whistle), Ktis Drever (g/mandolin/v). Ian Carr (g), Kevin McGuire (b), James Mackintosh (d/percussion), Sarah Allen (flute), Kate St John (oboe), Greg Lawson (violin), Su-a Lee (cello) & two others in the string section, and guests: Hannah Rarity (v) & Ryan MacKenzie (p); April MacAulay (fiddle) & Myles MacAulay (piano accordion), Duncan Chisholm (fiddle), Brian Finnegan (whistle/flute), Karen Matheson (v) & Donald Shaw (p), Cherish the Ladies [Joannie Madden (flute/whistle),Mary Coogan (g), Mirellla Murray (piano accordion), Kathleen Boyle (p)], Flook [Brian Finnegan (whistle/flute), Sarah Allen (flute), Ed Boyd (g), John Joe Kelly (bodhrán)], Eddi Reader (v), Jarlath Henderson (uilleann pipes) & John Ashton Thomas (p).
I knew that Phil Cunningham started his musical career early (joining Silly Wizard at 16) but was a bit surprised to discover that this birthday was only his 60th. There were plenty of accompanying and guest musicans, many of whom had joined him on a Christmas tour before the festival. New to me were 10 and 11 year old April and Myles MacAulay from Glasgow who first performed with Cunningham and Aly Bain at a charity event three years ago. . I have taken photos before of Cunningham in his duo with Aly Bain and as part of Transatlantic Sessions (www.flickr.com/photos/kmlivemusic/tags/philcunningham,-th...). Also of most of the other musicians elsewhere (to view click on their names in my tags).
