Lonesome Dreams

It feels like aaaaaaages since we've been to a gig... in fact, woah, almost 2 months... well it's January and as usual it's Celtic Connection in Glasgow.

This was a birthday present for me, Lord Huron, a band I happened to come across at the Green Man festival in 2015. I think I remember lazing on the grass, on a sunny day, listening to their folk/rock/lonesome cowboy themed dreamy sounds and I was hooked.

Usually Celtic Connections events are attended, in the main, by 30+ ages, at least the ones we go to, but this one had a real mix of all ages... there was maybe a 70 year old man at the front with a bunch of late teen-girls behind him, oldies (yes us), middles and young were everywhere... I don't think I've seen such a mix at any gig. 

About 6 months ago we caught Ms H listening to them and her being surprised we already liked them... one of their songs had been on a Netflix series that had attracted a lot of attention (about a girl who took her own life) and the song was used in a key school prom scene... and that appears to have brought the band to the attention of the young ones!

Which is great!
