There are some 1500 artists and 300 events, ranging from big shows at the Royal Concert Hall to small workshop events for musicians, over a period of 18 days.
As expected, celtic music dominates the programme, but its always a wide and diverse bill, encompassing areas that have been influenced by celtic music such as americana and music with celtic roots from around the world.

However, for the Vive le Roq purposes the event is a little on the sparse side for French-related celtic music, disappointing when you consider the volume of celtic music from Brittany and how diverse it is.
Previous celtic Connections have seen the likes of Alan Stivell and (if I remember right...) Dan Ar Braz.
But all is not lost, mama Rosin, a Swiss cajun/zydeco act are playing in Glasgow as part of their UK tour
They're playing Glasgow on Jan 22, full details of their tour below the video for their song Le Pistolet
