The concert was hailed as the crowning glory of that year's festival,
and in 2004 The Unusual Suspects made a triumphant return appearance
at Celtic Connections. The 2004 festival concert was followedby a
UK tour organised by Folkworks, a wonderful organisation based in
the north east of England, dedicated to promoting and furthering
traditional & contemporary folk music. Due to touring logistics,
a mere 22-piece(!) version of the band went on the road, and played
to critical acclaim and nightly standing ovations the length of the
country, from London to Inverness. |

The
Unusual Suspects is the brain-child of it's musical directors Corrina
Hewat & David Milligan. They first came up with the idea
almost a decade ago, but it wasn't until Glasgow's Celtic Connections
Festival director Colin Hynd offered them a platform to put their
'folk-orchestra theory' into practise, that this monster band became
a reality. On a Sunday afternoon, late in January 2003, thirty-two
of Scotlands finest and most dynamic musicians
took to the stage of the main auditorium in Glasgow's Royal Concert
Hall as part of the 10th Celtic Connections Festival. Albums |
