Festival hoping to make a connection with new venue

CELTIC Connections, Glasgow's high-profile folk, roots and world music festival, could mark its 20th anniversary next year with a centrepiece event at The Hydro, the city's new entertainment venue.

Celtic Connections this year opened with performers including Julie Fowlis. Part of the festival next year could be seen at the new Hydro arena taking shape in Glasgow.

The festival's organisers are also casting their gaze at the Emirates Arena, which opened in the city's east end a few months ago.

Celtic Connections was first staged in January 1994 and has gone on to become a world-renowned event.
