'When I entered my teens the portrayal of much of Scotland’s culture seemed embarrassingly stuck in the past'
I ALWAYS look forward to this time of year as a time to enjoy one of Scotland’s greatest cultural events. Celtic Connections holds a special place in my heart not just because it offers the chance to catch up with some music but because it played a big part in my personal journey to Yes.
The festival has, of course, moved online this year because of the pandemic and it’s been gratifying to see how successful the transition has been. The festival has sold more than 10,000 passes and music fans in 44 countries have booked places at a plethora of online events.
