Event Date: 24 February 2026

Rosie Maguires will be hosting a free Celtic Festival Warm Up gig for Celtic fans who are arriving in early for the Celtic Supporters Festival in Spain in June. Cooney and Danny take to the Courtyard Stage at 8pm to kick things off on Wednesday 03 June ahead of the official launch on Thursday June 04.

A stalwart of the Glasgow Irish music scene, Cooney and Danny’s unique sound has become synonymous with a wild night on the town!

Ciarán Cooney (Birr, Co. Offaly, Ireland) on guitar and vocals and Danny McGuinness (Glasgow,  Scotland) on tin whistle are decorated professional touring  musicians.

They first began working together during their tenure with renowned  Irish dance show ‘Irish Celtic’  which saw them touring  worldwide for the last 10 years.

When not on the road touring,  Cooney & Danny are resident  musicians at Glasgow’s award  winning ‘Kitty O’Shea’s’ Irish  pubs. Playing every week in both of the Glasgow locations.

With years of professional experience both individually and as a duo, Cooney & Danny perform a mix of folk ballads, lively traditional tune sets and traditional takes on classic and modern day songs.

Their show  promises to leave you singing and dancing until the early hours!

Cooney and Danny are part of a fantastic musical line at the Festival which also includes Antonio Rae, Clover and Keltic Moods.

Former Celtic Players Peter Grant, Joe Miller, Jackie McNamara, Simon Donnolly, Tommy Johnston and Alan Thompson are already confirmed for what promises to be one hell of a Celtic Party.

The Festival runs until Sunday 07 June on the sunny Costa Blanca coast in Cabo Roig, Alicante. Weekend Tickets and Single Day Tickets are now on sale. Click link to order yours.
