Karen Matheson

Still Time is an absolute delight, a truly superb, eleven-track release that is nothing short of sublime. Matheson is best known for her voice as singer with a leading Scottish Celtic band, Capercaillie, where she is often heard working in her native Gaelic language.

EVERY January and into February, Glasgow’s extraordinary Celtic Connections festival offers audiences a head-spinning panoply of folk roots music from throughout Scotland and the world. This year, with Covid-19 continuing to wreak its terrible havoc, the doors of the concert halls remain closed and the festival is unable to extend its legendary warm welcome.
