Transatlantic Sessions 3 is a 2 disc DVD set that brings together the best of Nashville, Ireland and Scotland in a format , in the words of one critic, 'a unique insight into the sheer joy of making music' or in the words of another, 'the greatest backporch shows ever'.
A beautiful old farm steading converted into a small concert/studio space in the Perthshire Highlands was chosen and top vocal and instrumental exponents of the Country and Celtic traditions gathered to rehearse and play together with no audience except themselves and a resident house-band of their peers.
Music co-directors were Nashville's Jerry Douglas and Scotland's Aly Bain.
Leavening the intimacy of the music-making through each of the six programmes in the series is a strong element of spectacular Highland scenic photography while the informality of backstage conversation and stories serves to highlight the series' genuinely historic qualities of collaboration and performance.
This set includes the complete season 3 plus bonus footage.
