FOLK band Shooglenifty have released a video of the concert they staged at Celtic Connections in January in tribute to their late frontman, fiddler and composer Angus R Grant. Grant died in October last year and the band gathered guests including fiddlers Adam Sutherland, Charlie McKerron, Duncan Chisholm (pictured), Eilidh Shaw, Gavin Marwick and Laura Wilkie to play Grant’s own music, Shooglenifty favourites and songs Grant knew and loved at Glasgow Royal Concert Hall.
Proceeds from the video will contribute to the completion of a documentary about Grant and the band, with a percentage from each transaction going to Cancer Research's work into the prevention and treatment of oesophageal cancer. The video is available to stream and download.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
