Mary Ann Kennedy welcomes the best of Celtic Connections 2011 to the banks of the Clyde for the first of this year's sell-out Foyer Shows at Pacific Quay. A heady rhythmic melting pot kicks off Radio Scotland's festival coverage, including exclusive live sets of tabla-infused flamenco from guitar legend Eduardo Niebla, India-Alba's tabla a la Ecossaise, and spiritual grooves from Cameroon's inimitable Muntu Valdo. No better way to beat off the January blues!
