The story

Zeltik in Dudelange

Zeltik is Luxembourg's leading Celtic-music festival, held in Dudelange each March. Originally launched as a joint venture between the Town of Dudelange and the local fire brigade, it has grown from a single day into a four-day event, now staged at St. Martin's Church and the opderschmelz cultural centre. The festival has featured artists including Carlos Nunez and the Red Hot Chilli Pipers, drawing more than 2,000 attendees.

Celtic music is not the genre most people associate with Luxembourg, a small country far from the traditional Celtic strongholds of Ireland, Scotland, Brittany or Wales.
