Celtic Connections’ link to Gaelic musical traditions and influences is thriving in this year’s programme yet again. It recognises not only the global community of Gaels across the Celtic and world music scene, but also acknowledges that the home of the festival, Glasgow, is where the largest concentrated number of Gaelic speakers live. This music has had a strong impact on the revival of Gaelic speakers and both music and language are inextricably linked.

During Celtic Connections, Ceòl ’s Craic, the vibrant social hub and platform for contemporary Gaelic culture in Glasgow, presents a vibrant programme exploring aspects of fusion between Gaelic and other world traditions. A series of films, lectures and workshops will take place at CCA, looking at Gaelic arts, history and inspirations. In the upstairs bar there will be late night music sessions with a Gaelic twist and a daily information portal on all Gaelic services and organisations in the city.

Gaelic information desk open 2 – 4pm / Tuesday, Thursday & Friday

Experience Gaelic arts and culture with Ceòl ‘s Craic and enjoy some great food at Saramago Café Bar (special deal with Ceol ‘s Craic ticket - two courses for £7.50).

Join us for the usual Seeds gathering at CCA. A fun, relaxed evening of spoken word and acoustic music. A diverse range of acts perform, from traditional African 'mbira' music to comedic and dramatic sketches and visual presentations. No two events are the same on this platform for regular, seasoned and new performers. Open mic for those who want to share in the fun and easy going spirit of the evening.
