The concert was hailed as the crowning glory
of that year's festival, and in 2004 The Unusual Suspects made
a triumphant return appearance at Celtic Connections. The 2004
festival concert was followedby a UK tour organised by Folkworks,
a wonderful organisation based in the north east of England,
dedicated to promoting and furthering traditional & contemporary
folk music. Due to touring logistics, a mere 22-piece(!) version
of the band went on the road, and played to critical acclaim
and nightly standing ovations the length of the country, from
London to Inverness. |

The
Unusual Suspects is the brain-child of it's musical directors Corrina
Hewat & David Milligan. They first came up with the idea
almost a decade ago, but it wasn't until Glasgow's Celtic Connections
Festival director Colin Hynd offered them a platform to put their
'folk-orchestra theory' into practise, that this monster band became
a reality. On a Sunday afternoon, late in January 2003, thirty-two
of Scotlands finest and most dynamic musicians took to the stage
of the main auditorium in Glasgow's Royal Concert Hall as part
of the 10th Celtic Connections Festival.
