The Celtic Connections final weekend, with top Celtic and Americana musicians, features vocalist/fiddler Sara Watkins, 'O Brother Where Art Thou?' soundtrack star Dan Tyminski (guitar and mandolin), Bruce Molsky (fiddle), and festival favourite Tim O'Brien, who returns with one of Americana's greatest interpreters - his sister Mollie, for her debut transatlantic appearance. Further gracing the song department are Scotland's Eddi Reader and Karen Matheson (capercaillie) alongside Ireland's Cara Dillon. The house-band line up includes Danny Thompson, Darrell Scott, John Doyle, Russ Barenberg, Donald Shaw, Michael McGoldrick and James Mackintosh.
