Transatlantic sessions - Real music, by musicians that care...
A folk music collaboration between top musical artists from North America, Ireland and the UK.
For the latest series (three), a beautiful old farm steading converted into a small concert/studio space at Strathgarry House near Killiecrankie in the Perthshire Highlands was chosen and top vocal and instrumental exponents of the Country and Celtic traditions gathered to rehearse and play together with no audience except themselves and a "resident" house-band of their peers. Music co-directors were Nashville's Jerry Douglas and Shetland's own Aly Bain.
