This evening we went up to the Royal Concert Halls and saw a free show. Every evening of Celtic Connections they have an event called Danny Kyle's Open Stage, where 4 or 5 pre-selected acts perform a 20 minute set in the hope of being selected for a support slot in the following year's festival. This evening one of the acts was Rachel Taylor-Beales, and playing keyboards, flute and backing vocals for her was our very own Chalky (I'm not sure if she has a wiblog any more though now we've migrated to wordpress). I have to say, of the 3 acts we saw (we didn't stay for the last 2) they were by far and away the best. Not that I'm biased or anything :)
