30th (and early hours of 31st) January 2020 at the Blue Arrow, Glasgow.

Woman Stays On / Folky Open Mic, hosted by Jenn Butterworth (free event).
This version of Folky Open Mi was hosted by Jenn Butterworth. Called Woman Stays On the premise was that each act included at least one woman on the stage. Unlike more open Open Mics the evening was pre-programmed by Butterworth through her contacts with the array of musical talent based in Gladgow orattending the Celtic Connections Festival.

Country: Britain - Scotland & India (Scottish resident). Style: Traditional Scottish Folk & South Asian Music.

Lineup: Mischa Macpherson (v), Ankna Arockiam (v), Charlie Stewart (fiddle), Alistair Iain Paterson (harmonium), Hardeep "Sodhi" Deerhe (tabla).

This new project was due to have its debut concert at Òran Mór two days later (though Mischa MacPherson and Ankna Arockiam were both involved in a dance drama "Hebridean Treasure: Lost & Found" last year). The group consisted of Macpherson, Charlie Stewart and Ali Paterson (who were both in the Macpherson band I saw at last year's Celltic Connections), Arockiam (from Hyderabad) and Sodhi Deerhe (Glasgow born of Indian descent). Arockiam moved to Glasgow in 2011 to study at the Royal Conservatoire, first for a B.Mus. and now a Ph.D. Over the years she has studied Western Classical Music (as a Mezzo Soprano, violinist and cellist), Carnaatc vocal and Bharatanatyam dance. I have taaken many photos of Macpherson before, including a previous Gaelic-South Asian collaboration Lahore Ceòl Mór (www.flickr.com/photos/kmlivemusic/tags/mischamacpherson,-...), plus others of Stewart (www.flickr.com/photos/kmlivemusic/tags/charliestewart,-na...), Paterson (www.flickr.com/photos/kmlivemusic/tags/alistairiainpaters...) and Deerhe with Scottish-Dutch Jazz project LoLanders (www.flickr.com/photos/kmlivemusic/tags/hardeepdeerhe,-naa...).
