MUSIC students from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland got Glasgow's Celtic Connections festival off on the right note.
Graham Rorie, Aidan Moodie, and Micheal Steele played in Buchanan Street as the programme was unveiled for next year's event, which will feature some of the biggest names in traditional, world, indie, jazz, folk and Americana music.
More than 2000 musicians from every corner of the globe will come to Glasgow between January 15 and February 1 2015.
As exclusively revealed in the Evening Times last night, Martyn Bennett will be honoured at the gala opening night, to mark the tenth anniversary of his death from cancer at the age of 33.
A 75-strong orchestra, hand-picked for the occasion, will stage the lavish tribute to Bennett, regarded as one of Scotland's leading musical talents of the 1990s - who famously fused club culture and dance music of the time with traditional melodies and instruments including bagpipes.
