So as well as the BBC rolling up with their pantechnicons, Celtic Music Radio were broadcasting from the festival - and put considerably more hours "on-air" than the BBC!

We had 4 live stages running - every weekday from 11-5 we were live from the Buchanan Suite, up at the top of the concert hall, and from our own Admiral St premises at weekends. We had different guests visiting us every hour for live sessions and interviews - I think there were 81 in total, ranging from main stage headliners (Le Vent Du Nord, Blue Rose Code, Rab Noakes were my personal highlights) through to up and coming whippersnappers :-)

We also broadcast the "Celtic Connections on Campus" series from Caledonian University - 3 or 4 bands each lunchtime - and the Danny Kyle Open Stage (5 bands each day throughout the festival).

Great music, and great fun - all done by volunteers.

You can hear all of the "Danny" sessions at Danny Kyle Open Stage

The live sessions and interviews are being edited now - some are already online at Live Sessions
