Goderich Celtic Roots Festival and College

✨ Welcome Back, Rachel Hair & Ron Jappy! ✨

We're delighted to welcome Rachel Hair & Ron Jappy back to the Goderich Celtic Roots Festival this summer!

Blending the timeless sounds of the Scottish harp and acoustic guitar, Rachel and Ron create a captivating musical partnership that moves effortlessly from heartfelt airs to lively jigs, strathspeys, and reels. Their performances strike the perfect balance between tradition and innovation, showcasing the remarkable chemistry they've shared since first touring together in 2017.

Described as "one of the UK's finest contemporary Celtic harpists," Rachel is an acclaimed performer, composer, and educator, while Ron's expressive guitar playing provides the perfect complement to her award-winning musicianship.

If you caught them at last year's festival, you already know what a treat you're in for. If not, don't miss the chance to experience this outstanding Scottish duo live in Goderich this August! 🍀🎶

🍀 First Time at Goderich Celtic Roots! 🍀

Please join us in welcoming Tulua to the 2026 Goderich Celtic Roots Festival!

Hailing from Ireland, Tulua Music brings a fresh and energetic approach to traditional Irish music, blending powerful songs, captivating tunes, and a deep connection to the traditions of their home. Having grown together as musicians from a young age, the four members create performances filled with warmth, passion, and musical chemistry.

Described by The Irish Independent as "one of the hottest young prospects in traditional Irish music," Tulua has toured internationally across Ireland, Canada, Australia, Europe, and the United States, earning praise for their dynamic live shows and distinctive sound.

This summer, they're celebrating the release of their brand-new album, 'In The Snug', and we're thrilled they'll be bringing that music to Goderich for their Goderich Celtic Roots debut.
