After 8 sell-out appearances at Southbank Centre, Transatlantic Sessions returns to revisit shared roots and forge new common ground between today’s finest Celtic and Americana musicians.

Originating as part of the award-winning Pelicula/BBC TV series, Transatlantic Sessions returns for a ninth year, fresh from the success of their sold-out US tour. The project’s founding musical directors fiddle maestro, Aly Bain and Dobro legend Jerry Douglas lead a house band that includes John Doyle, Danny Thompson, Michael McGoldrick, Russ Barenberg, John McCusker, Donald Shaw and James Mackintosh.

The show brings together the best of Nashville, Ireland and Scotland in a format that ‘affords these musicians the opportunity to play together for the love of the music they are playing.’
