CFN Trips to Celtic Connections 2020

CFN Trip to Danny Kyle Stage, Celtic Connections

20th January 2020

We’ve had a couple of great CFN Trips to Celtic Connections this week!

On Monday, 38 of us went to the Danny Kyle Open Stage at the The Glasgow Royal Concert Hall.

We saw some great bands like the Flying Penguins and singers like Lisa Kowalski. We heard fiddle, whistle, guitar, and clarsach! There even a song in Spanish which was greatly enjoyed by our CFN Salvadoran families!

Thanks to the Scottish Refugee Council for their support with travel costs.

CFN Trip to Music is our Language at Maryhill Integration Network

22nd January 2020

On Wednesday, we went to the Maryhill Integration Network ‘Music is our Language’ gig – also part of Celtic Connections. 3 families came along with Ruby, but we also bumped into 4 more families in the CFN who live in Maryhill!

We saw the wonderful, multi-cultural Joyous Choir, who performed songs in several languages, an Iranian band and Ayawara drummers! There was facepainting and delicious food. It was a busy, buzzing event.

We’re so glad to be part of #cultureforeveryone!
