Spotlight England
England has been invited by Glasgow music festival Celtic Connections to be their international partner in 2013. Six English folk artists and bands have been selected to perform as part of Spotlight England, which is a campaign that aims to raise the world-wide profile of English folk music.
Spotlight England will give a taster of the range and diversity, power and emotion that is English folk. The six artists on show – Bella Hardy, Bellowhead, Sam Carter, the Tom McConville Band, Spiro, and Lucy Ward – will brilliantly showcase an exciting breadth of musical styles, sounds and scales.
If you're planning to attend this year's Celtic Connections festival, don’t miss the Spotlight England showcases: 30 January - 3 February 2013.
