Title Celtic Connections review: Daoiri Farrell with Lori Watson, Glasgow Royal Concert Hall Degree of recognition National Media name/outlet The Scotsman Media type Print Duration/Length/Size Review Country/Territory United Kingdom Date 6/02/18 Description 'Opening the concert, Lori Watson during extracts from her intriguing Yarrow project, questioned how we use song to understand experience. In her case, the Border singer and fiddler, accompanied by Duncan Lyall on keyboards and guitarist Chas Mackenzie, sang her own, inventive yet considerate reinterpretations of songs about or inspired by the ballad-rich Yarrow Valley.
She opened with the incantatory Yarrow: A Charm, which narrowly avoided overwhelming by electronics, but went on to give fine, poised accounts of Hamish Henderson’s life-affirming Flytin o Life and Daith, the plaintive reproach of Fause, Fause Hae Ye Been and the plangent vocal swoop of October Song – every song with a story to tell.'Producer/Author Jim Gilchrist, The Newsroom Persons Lori Watson
