After winning the 2010 Good Tradition title at the Radio 2 Folk Awards and embarking on their first-ever UK tour, the Transatlantic Sessions settle in Ireland, for one night only on 7 February 2012, where the stage of the Convention Centre will be magically transformed into the back porch of every folk aficionados dreams!  As with the concerts' companion BBC TV series, which also features Shetland fiddle icon Aly Bain and dobro deity Jerry Douglas as joint musical directors, the secret of the Transatlantic Sessions success is the dynamic between the longtime stalwarts of the line-up and the new, or occasional, contributors - the (oft hilarious) balance of relaxed familiarity with the revelatory potential of fresh encounters. The historic kinship of Old and New World traditions, which both programmes and performances set out to explore, continues to bear new 21st-century fruit, making the common ground mapped during these concerts one of today's richest musical territories.
