Sorry for not flagging this up sooner, but the whole concert of Cherish the Ladies and guests is being streamed live from Glasgow: well into second half now, and people watching the world over. Access via Celtic Connections’ Facebook page. Fab concert!! Hope there will be more such live streams during this festival!

Presumably these will be still available online for a period after the concert?

I think it might be available to non-Facebookers from here:

But that doesn't work on this device. Maybe they have an exclusive deal with Facebook.

As a non-facebooker, my experience of live streaming is that it is accessible while it is live, but after the end of the concert that's your lot.

It may depend on how the FB account is set up. There are many FB sites, for BBC local radio folk programmes for example, which I can see and play videos on. I don't remember whether I've seen live streams on those, but I think so.

I looked at the Celtic Connections FB site when the concert was still going on, but it required me to sign in. That was in a browser on a mobile phone - it might have worked on a laptop I suppose.

Were my cousins, Aoife Clancy or Donnacha Gough, in the line-up ?

Donnachadh Gough was, but I don't see Aoife Clancy in the listing of the line-up in the Celtic Connections listings on their website.
I think Jos is probably right that it's a one-off on the night, whether you're a Facebooker or not........but I could be wrong. One of our local folk clubs has done similar, (also via Facebook), and I don't remember being able to do "catch-up" afterwards.
One thing that did come up as the evening went on, was the opportunity to sign up for alerts for further live-streamed concerts: this just popped up in the comments column: guess you can do this through Celtic Connections' own Facebook page.
