Somebody obviously thought it a good idea that Emmylou Harris play her last ever Scottish show in a soulless sports hall in the east end of Glasgow.
As well as kicking off this year’s Celtic Connections, the city’s annual festival of roots music, Harris was also kickstarting her farewell tour of Europe.
There will be good reasons why Harris is stepping off the road, but waning powers isn’t one of themNot that Harris seemed to mind.
Of her own compositions, the distressed reverbed blues of ‘Red Dirt Girl’ and a heartbreaking ‘Boulder To Birmingham’ shone.
Gaughan, like Carthy and Harris, stands as a titan upon his own particular patch of earth.
