One of the best music festivals anywhere, Celtic Connections is in full swing, albeit online, so we can at least enjoy a virtual visit to Glasgow to sample some the fabulous and hugely varied music on offer

I LONG to Glasgow, dear old Glasgow toon… Well, that's certainly true during the month of January when I like to take a trip to the city on the Clyde for the annual Celtic Connections festival, probably one of the best music festivals anywhere in the world.
