Europe’s premier folk, roots and world music festival, Celtic Connections, is continuing to grow its programme for 2024 with 40 new acts added to the bill. A very special one-off concert from seminal Irish group The Bothy Band is included. During their brief five-year history they blazed like a comet across the firmament of Celtic music. Creative Producer for Celtic Connections Donald Shaw, said: “The Bothy Band were the single most influential act of their time and set a marker down for the exceptional traditional music which followed. “The Bothy Band are among 40 incredible acts joining the Celtic Connections 2024 bill for what is shaping up to be an unforgettable 18 days and another landmark year in Glasgow’s musical and cultural calendar.
