Joachim Cooder brings his singular musical world to the intimate surroundings of Cottiers Theatre for a winter evening that blurs the boundaries between folk, roots, world music and sonic exploration, as part of the Celtic Connections programme.
Joachim Cooder plays Cottiers Theatre on Friday 15 January 2027, as part of the Celtic Connections programme. It's a night that sits right in the middle of the festival's winter run, with Cooder bringing his particular musical world to the West End.
What he does is hard to pin to one spot. The set blurs the lines between folk, roots, world music and sonic exploration, and it's built on a mix of percussion, strings and voice. He's known for performances that drift through rhythm and melody, moving from hypnotic grooves to more intimate, reflective passages. The whole thing draws on a lifetime spent inside global musical traditions, with collaborations that stretch across American roots, blues and international sounds, and it's shaped by curiosity, warmth and a quietly adventurous spirit.

It's a night that fits the Celtic Connections bill, and the venue is Cottiers Theatre, 93-95 Hyndland Street, G11 5PU. The bill is Joachim Cooder and support, so there'll be an opening act before he takes the stage. The show starts at 7:30pm, and tickets are £23.52, which includes a 12% booking fee. One thing to keep in mind: the venue restricts admission to over-14s, and anyone under 18 has to be accompanied by an adult over 18.
