Originally shot as part of a new initiative in 2011 that saw nine Celtic Colours shows live streamed to an audience around the world, a few of the many highlights from the streamed shows have been edited in high definition to enjoy as we look forward to Celtic Colours 2012.

For Celtic Colours—a festival with a penchant for celebrating local culture—our history of including community meals evolved from both an appreciation of the classic pancake breakfast, a feed of fishcakes and beans, a good old-fashioned roast beef dinner, or the variety of a community-contributed potluck, and the need to feed a mass of people attending concerts in rural areas with limited options for dining.
