CELTIC CONNECTIONS
30TH ANNIVERSARY
Celtic Connections is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year with another ambitious programme over its 18-day duration.
This unique musical extravaganza in Glasgow will feature more than 2,100 musicians entertaining audiences at over 300 events.
There are concerts, ceilidhs, talks, art exhibitions, workshops and free offerings throughout the festival, which was started in 1994 to fill a scheduling gap in the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall's normally quiet post-Christmas period.
Performances spanning traditional folk, roots, Americana, jazz, soul and world music are all on offer between January 19 and February 5.
There's no way to list all the gigs but this reviewer will be attending Americana/roots' shows by Sierra Hull & Rachel Baiman; Grant Lee Philips; The Hackles; Lucinda Williams; Dean Owens; Aiofe O'Donovan and Bonny Light Horseman.
