It’s 25 years since Karine Polwart first performed with Scots-Irish band Malinky on the main Concert Hall stage at Celtic Connections. And 20 years since she scooped three BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards, including best album for her solo debut Faultlines. She hasn’t looked back since.
The Back of the Winter is a celebration of songs and community singing, borrowing its name from the opening line of Karine’s ‘Follow the Heron’, a song which has entered into common folk repertoire. Expect many more favourites and a few surprises too.
The concert brings a one-off choir of 300 community singers to the concert hall stage, led by Stephen Deazley, in an evening that celebrates 25 years of Karine’s song-making and singing. Also featuring Steven Polwart, Inge Thomson, Dave Milligan and percussionist, Calum McIntyre.
