About Celtic Connections
Musicians
from across the globe will take part in over 300 events in venues
throughout Glasgow for the largest winter music festival of its kind and the
UK's premier celebration of celtic music.
The
18 days of entertainment will brighten up the dark, wet January nights with a
mixture of concerts that include a host of one-off musical collaborations
alongside talks, workshops, film screenings, theatre productions, ceilidhs,
exhibitions, free events and late-night sessions.
Since
the inaugural event in 1994, when its 66 events centred around one venue and
welcomed 27,000 attendees, Celtic Connections has become more adventurous, more
experimental and more diverse. A huge range of musical genres are now
showcased, as well as genre-busting performances that defy any attempt at
categorisation. (Last updated: January, 2019)
