Celtic Connections

Celtic Connections 2011

Glasgow comes alive each January as Celtic Connections, one of the world’s largest winter music festivals and the premiere Celtic music festival in the UK, ensures that the city is buzzing with music!

Taking place over 18 days, Celtic Connections is a major event in the folk and world music calendar. Each year, we welcome visitors from around the globe to the festival, where international artists perform alongside the very best Scottish talent.

Artistic Director, Capercaillie's Donald Shaw, will once again be inviting over 1,500 artists from every continent to perform in Glasgow. You can look forward to 300 concerts, ceilidhs, talks, free events, workshops and late-night sessions in venues across the city!
