'lAl ks CELTIC CONVERSATIONS
As well as music and workshops, Celtic Connections brings a diverse and interesting selection of talks to this year’s festival. The selection of University of Strathclyde talks takes a look at Celtic culture and history while raising important questions and telling tales. An ideal chance to
listen, learn, argue and be amused.
They kick off with the Scottish Women, introduced by Mark Sheridan (pictured), followed the next day by a discussion on the new and exciting voices and commissions of Celtic Connections. But it’s not all about music. Other topics include Scottish identity and how the Scots have contributed to the development of America’s wild west.
If history is more your thing then the talks to check out include the one on the yacht Scotia, which set sail 100 years ago as part of the Scottish national Antarctic expedition, and the talk about An Leabhar-Mor, also known as The Great Book of Gaelic, a 21st century Book of Kells which celebrates contemporary Celtic culture.
As well as looking back, you also have the chance to look forward in what is guaranteed to be a lively talk as politicians have their say on the future of Scottish culture. Check out the listings for dates and times of when and where you can get a better taste of Celtic life past, present and
future. (Jane Hamilton)
