Celtic Connections 2008
Wednesday 16th January to Sunday 3rd February 2008
Venues throughout the city
The Celtic Connections festival was first held in Glasgow in 1994 and has been held every year since, growing into a major event in the world folk and music calendar; it is also firmly established as one of the most important events in Glasgow's music and arts diary.
The cream of Celtic music talent from around the globe will flock to Glasgow to celebrate, and take part in, the 15th annual Celtic Connections festival in 2008. For almost three weeks, the city will be bouncing to the sound of the best in modern Celtic rock, dance, big bands, choral performances, international folk superstars, theatre and traditional pipe bands and ceilidhs.
In 1994 the first Celtic Connections festival was launched in just one venue attracting around 32,000 people. Now in its 15th year the festival is expected to attract over 100,000 patrons to 14 venues throughout the city, enjoying hundreds of artists brought to Glasgow from every part of the globe.
