Sunday night we played the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall with such an incredible line-up of people coming together in musical collaboration. It was the Transatlantic session for the closing night of the Celtic Connections festival... it was us as the Jennys, all on stage with Jerry Douglas, Aly Bain, Donald Shaw, Phil Cunningham, Russ Barenberg, Bruce Molsky, Karen Matheson etc... We ended the show with an absolutely crazy rendition of The Devils Paintbrush Road, complete with a madly paced fiddle tune flowing out of Nicky's harmonica solo, and Jerry Douglas's wild and roaring hot licks throughout, bringing it all home. What a ridiculous honour. Aaah the crowd, the excited crowd. Then we went out to sing an encore with Roseanne Cash -- 40 shades of green... we were sharing a dressing room with her, all smelling of roses. Got a good, deep look into those Cash legacy eyes of hers as we were running through the chorus together at the break. Split seconds shared. I do feel touched. 2500 people packed in to witness us all connect. I had tears in my eyes on every second song. The Champagne flowed when we got off the stage.
This is a good way to move on. Thank you everyone, thank you universe. Ready for the next steps on this sweet wild road.
