´óÏó´«Ã½

So I'm just back from the press launch for T In The Park 2010 where Festival Director Geoff Ellis did his annual big-up for all things T.

The big news is of course who's playing. Well this year there's a strong US hip hop contingent, with Eminem, Jay-Z and Black Eyed Peas 'reprazentin'. Co-headlining with Eminem are kings of the elaborate lightshow, Muse, and yes, Kasabian (not news really since we already knew that).

Take a look at Radio One's site for the full-ish line-up. I say full-ish, because there are many bands still to be announced on the smaller stages, not least our very own ´óÏó´«Ã½ Introducing stage.

Incidentally, you can still watch last year's Introducing artists on our .

The Beeb will of course be there bringing you all the action. Watch this space...

It's time for the third and final report from our undercover celt as this year's Celtic Connections draws to a close...

Inverurie fiddler Dan Thorpe was crowned ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio Scotland Young Traditional Musician 2010 last night in Glasgow's City Halls.

The contest was broadcast live on Radio Scotland, to a packed Celtic Connections audience in the spectacular Grand Hall.

We were there capturing all the action on camera, and you can watch video of the announcement and a track from Daniel above and a tune from each of the finalists on the Celtic Connections website.
