Showcase Scotland at Celtic Connections

Celtic Connections, the largest roots music festival in Europe and the UK's most established celebration of world, traditional and folk music, takes place in Glasgow during January each year. British Council Scotland works with the festival to raise its international profile, ambition and reach.

Since 2000, British Council Scotland and Creative Scotland have been running Showcase Scotland to introduce international delegates to the UK music sector. As the largest gathering of the international music community in the Scottish calendar, the programme provides opportunities for promoters, record labels, agents and festival organisers to connect with the Scottish industry and each other.
