I organised the concert for Ceolas at Celtic Connections 2012 wth help from my colleague Mary Schmoller and others. This was held in the Strathclyde suite in the Royal Concert hall in Glasgow on the 4th of February 2012. The concet was a resounding success with it being sold out for a couple of days before the event so many people were disappointed with having to be turned away because of the lack of tickets. There were more than 500 people in the venue which was a little (!) over capacity!
The concert featured 20 performers of the cream of Gaelic / Highland / Cape Breton talent including Rona Lightfoot and Kathleen MacInnes who also ably performed the task of MC's for the evening. Other performers were
Angus MacKenzie, Gillebride MacMillan, Allan Henderson, Sarah MacKay, Josie Burgess, Paul McCallum, Fin Moore, Frank McConnell, Angus Nicolson, Calum MacKenzie, Mairead Stewart, Kenneth MacKenzie, Sineag MacIntyre, Sandra Robertson, Allan MacDonald, Dawn Beaton, Iain MacFarlane, Seonaidh MacIntyre.
The evening was enhanced by beautiful slides of Uist throughout the show.
The next major Ceolas event will be in London on the 19th May in the Welsh Centre on 157-163 Gray's Inn Road, London WC1X 8UE
