Live on stage at Glasgow’s Celtic Connections
7digital headed to Glasgow in January 2024, to stage a special live version of the Radio 2 Folk Show.
Presenter Mark Radcliffe introduced three live acts: Grammy-winning Texan songwriter Sarah Jarosz, local favourites The Paul McKenna Band and pan-celtic group The Outside Track, in front of a studio audience at BBC Scotland’s Pacific Quay.

This event was part of Glasgow’s annual winter festival, Celtic Connections, which attracts world-class artists to the UNESCO City of Music. Festival boss, Donald Shaw, also joined the show, which was produced in collaboration with teams from BBC Scotland and BBC Radio Pop.
And while working beside the River Clyde, Mark presented his BBC Radio 6 Music weekend breakfast show - another 7digital production.
