Transatlantic Sessions - Liverpool Philharmonic Hall - February 9th 2024 - Part 4

Me and my partner Jane went to the Liverpool Philharmonic Hall last night, the 9th of February 2024.
This was my 80th birthday present from Jane.
We were here to see the Transatlantic Sessions.

Having grown up in Scotland and my history with Ireland and America this was a show I was so looking forward too.
I'd already watched all the televised Transatlantic Sessions, my dad years ago had introduced me to the 'Boys of the Lough',

and during my 10 years back in Scotland I'd attended Aly Bain and Phil Cunningham shows and spoken to them.

The minute the show began I felt my Celtic roots surface and I was away with the fairies.
Quite a bit throughout the show I felt a kind of nostalgic home sickness for Scotland and Ireland, but I've settled in the Celtic country of Wales so that keeps me happy.
The show was diverse in that it had Folk, Americana and Country and Western sprinkled throughout.
Anyway here's what the SHOW promised and it didn't disappoint.
