Celtic Connections

The Journal of Celtic and Related Subjects

In 1990 David James placed a small advertisment in the Welsh Tourist Board publication Newyddion Celtica (Celtica News),
saying that if there were any folk keen on discovering more about Celtic subjects, he would be happy to correspond
with them and share his knowledge, and, if he couldn't help, almost certainly he would "know a man (or often woman)
who could."

He had expected just a few letters, so was completely amazed by the response. Enthusiasts were writing to him from
as far afield as Russia, China, Brazil and Norway, to name but a few countries. As the mail built up, a very close
friend, appropriately named Grace, had the inspired idea that he should start a small magazine containing information
on Celtic subjects. She suggested that the name could be Celtic Connections, as it would serve to link
Celtic-minded people everywhere. Without her enthusiasm and encouragement at that point, the
magazine would have got off the ground, and he shall always be immensely grateful to her. She has inspired many
people with different ventures and almost all of them have been successful, due to her very astute mind.

He never imagined editing a magazine, but the more he thought about it, the more it seemed a logical progression
from all the correspondence that he was now engaged in. So, in 1992, Celtic Connections was born, and thanks to
Neuyddion Celtica, it received favourable promotion. Since then the magazine has gone from strength
to strength, and Celtic Connections now has subscribers worldwide.

Celtic Connections has grown not only as an interesting insight into the world of the Celts past and present but an invaluble source of reference for our studies.
