Tarran and LLAU play The Turning Ground in full at the Mackintosh Queen's Cross as part of Celtic Connections.
Tarran and LLAU play Mackintosh Queen's Cross on Thursday 21 January, performing The Turning Ground in full. It's a single-work set, so the whole piece goes from start to finish rather than being mixed in with other songs.
The gig is part of Celtic Connections, Glasgow's winter festival for Celtic music. It's run by Glasgow Life across around 25 venues on both sides of the Clyde, with roughly 300 events over 18 days and about 1,200 musicians and artists involved — a good part of why Glasgow is a UNESCO City of Music. This is one of those nights that fits right into the middle of it.

The venue is Mackintosh Queen's Cross in the West End, on Garscube Road (G20 7EL). It's one of the city's hidden architectural gems, the only church in the world designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh. Commissioned in 1896 by the Free Church, its Gothic windows are infused with his spirit and those characteristic floral motifs, especially on the tracery of the large western window above the chancel. These days it houses a range of events for the CRM Society and works as a venue for weddings, concerts, meetings and seminars, while the Society keeps up its workshops and activities for schools, students and the wider public. It's a distinct space to hear a full performance like this, and it sits right in the heart of the West End.
