Sock Adventures: My Celtic Connection's Finale

Everyone has their "go to" music when you want to boost your mood; Music that seems to warm you from the inside out.  One of mine is Fiddler's Bid.  Brilliant show.  With an appearance by Skeklers!

Are these the socks that come to mind for attending a concert at the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall?  Maybe.  Was I cozy and warm?  Yes!

Then on to the Festival Club that goes into the wee hours of the morning with acts doing short sets.  I didn't make it much past midnight but enjoyed more great music, including Lau tearing up the stage.

It was a great way to end my first Celtic Connections festival.  I attended six shows in five different venues.  In addition to the shows I already mentioned, I enjoyed Michael McGoldrick Band at the Old Fruitmarket; Aimee Mann, Amelia Curran, and Ted Leo at O2 ABC; Amelia Curran and Erin McKeown at the intimate Glasgow Art Club.

The start of day was a beauty in Glasgow....couldn't resist slipping in another shot of Queen's Park:)
