We’re sad to hear of the passing of the ‘Ceilidh King’ Fergie MacDonald MBE.

So many musicians have been inspired by Fergie and we have been fortunate to welcome him on many occasions, most recently in 2023 Sabhal Mòr Ostaig 50th Anniversary celebrations.

Our thoughts are with his family. 🎵

Celtic Connections celebrates Scottish culture like no other music festival, bringing music lovers from across the world to Glasgow 🎵🌍
