Thursday 28th January 2010, 7.30pm

Classic Grand

 Please Note: This is a past event event.

Don't worry we have plenty more current events to choose from.

Masterminded by maverick Scottish guitarist and composer Bill Wells, this intriguing East/West encounter highlights his ongoing interest in contemporary Japanese music, and marks the first Celtic Connections appearance by Japanese artists. A noted jazz musician, Wells has also long been active on the Glasgow indie scene, via outfits including The Pastels, Arab Strap and The Gentle Waves.

Accompanied by the exciting trio line-up of Aby Vulliamy (vocals/viola), Lorna Gilfedder and Kate Sugden (both vocals/percussion), he collaborates here with Nikaido Kazumi, whose off-kilter folk and mercurial voice have variously been likened to Björk and Joanna Newsom, and the quirky indie-pop singer-songwriter Shugo Tokumaru.

Please note that all patrons must be over the age of 14 and anyone under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult.

Tickets:  £12.50
