Guest Topper, you could well be about to open a can of worms. Mick West has appeared at Celtic Conections in the past. However, mistery behind the selection of, who is who isn't, appearing at Celtic Connections and the abundant subsidities and bucket loads of funding thrown towards the Concert Hall bun fight, has been likened to The Da Vinci Code. So much so, that Dan Brown has concidered this as the basis for a forthcoming book. I'm not too sure a fringe festival is such a great idea BUT you will have a chance to hear some real folk music at a realistic price.
