Join Le Vent du Nord for a rollicking 20th birthday celebration with very special guests including Julie Fowlis, Breabach and Grosse Isle. Formed in 2002, the quintet are old friends of Celtic Connections and their dynamically modern brand of Quebecois folk, rooted in Celtic music from both Ireland and Brittany, encapsulates the festival’s cross-cultural spirit, winning them fans who book year after year. Presenting a raucously unpredictable blend of guitar, fiddle, hurdy gurdy, lusty French vocals and more, their virtual event was a “glorious” highlight of our 2021 online festival. Don’t miss their joyous return to the Celtic Connections live stage.
