If you are interested in what is NEW in Scottish music then you will find that the new work commissioned by Glasgow Celtic Connections is worth investigating. Some of the artsist who have written works are - Andy Thorburn; Brian MacNeil; Wendy Wetherby; Mary MacMaster, and so on -- it is Friday I cant remember the rest. Some of them are on CD, visit www.tartantapes.com for links to the sites where you can buy. Of the three I attended this year I bought the CD and will go back next year to hear one again because I am not sure I liked it or not. The Mary MacMaster was sensational and is a must for me next year. Scotland is where it is all happening, it is a pity about the rugby though!
