Subject: Review: Transatlantic Sessions live
Last night I saw the show in the Birmingham Symphony Hall. The musicians and singers played for three hours, and a virtually full house was spellbound, listening to peerless musicianship, great singing and a bunch of performers having a really good time playing together. The cast;
Aly Bain
Jerry Douglas
Sara Watkins (Nickel Creek)
Dan Tyminski
Eddi Reader
Tim O'Brien
Molly O'Brien
Karen Matheson
Bruce Mosky
Cara Dillon

The House Band;
Danny Thompson
John Doyle
Russ Barenberg
Phil Cunningham
Donald Shaw
Michael McGoldrick
James Mackintosh.

It's impossible to pick out highlights, there were so many of them over the three hours, but what lingers is the sheer variety of music and the exuberance with which it was delivered. A great show.
