Celtic Connections - carers

[Izzy]

Not sure if this is the right part of the forum.

I've just listened to a radio programme about a concert on Monday 20th January as part of Celtic Connections.

It's hosted by Tommy Whitelaw. His mother had Alzheimer's and some time ago there were some posts on TP about Tommy's walk.

This concert is by artists who have given their time to share music inspired by carers. I believe the music is interspersed by readings of letters sent to Tommy. I wish I'd known about the concert earlier.

Wish I had know earlier too. This concert has not been mentioned in our area Izzy.
You can still buy tickets but it's short notice for my friend and I to sort sitters.
We went last year and saw Aaron Neill. I have been a fan for years.

I have never been to Celtic Connections but I have friends who go every year. I didn't think about looking at the programme online. We could have stayed at my brothers but too late now due to OT coming tomorrow. Too rushed.

There was an article about it on Radio Scotland this morning and they played some of the music and Tommy W was interviewed.

I stay near your brother so we could have met up there.
Aaron Nevillle is on you tube http://m.youtube.com/results?q=aaron neville tell it like it is&sm=1
Never thought I would ever see him live but a friend at work told me he was coming over for Celtic Connections.
It was great. His brother was on stage too. They used to be the Neville Brothers back in the late 70s.
