You know when you get a song in your head and it just won’t leave!? For about a month when I was living in America, I swear that Phil Collins followed me everywhere! Every time I went into a shop or turned on the radio, they were playing Phil Collins! Most often, In the Air Tonight, which I do love.

Anyway in the past week, I keep hearing this song everywhere I go. Then, just when I settle down to catch up on Gossip Girl and think I can finally get rid of it, it was one of the songs on last week’s soundtrack. Infuriating! It’s not one of my fave songs ever but I hope you enjoy it!

On Tuesday morning, Christine and I went to the Celtic Connections Press Launch at the Royal Concert  Hall.

First we heard from Ann Loughrey, Head of CSR for ScottishPower – Celtic Connections’ Principal Sponsor. She spoke about how glad ScottishPower are to yet again support the festival. This year, they are also launching the ScottishPower Powerful Performance schools competition, to give one school group the chance to appear as part of the music festival.

We then heard about the extensive Education Programme of the Festival. Finally, Donald Shaw, Artistic Director, announced this year’s kine-up, highlighting some of the great things we can look forward to in January.

Christine and I were also able to interview Jade Hewat, the Festival Manager. Below you can listen to some more details of the Festival and our interview with Jade.
