Those who love a little Spanish Celtic music on the Costa Tropical and eastern Costa del Sol are in for a treat at the weekend. There will be a rare chance to experience live Celtic traditions close to home, in La Herradura, from the talented musical skills of local heroes Rodriguez Celtic Band.

Rodriguez Celtic Band has some strong folk credentials

Granada natives created the ensemble in 2003 under violinist José Antonio Rodríguez. Their sound mixes Irish, Scottish, Breton and Galician melodies into dynamic arrangements that emphasise violin leads, flutes, whistles and percussion. For over two decades the group has built a dedicated following through consistent touring and intimate performances that connect directly with audiences.

Concert details confirm late night start

Doors open at La Cochera for the show on Friday, April 24, with music beginning at 11.30pm. Rodriguez Celtic Band will deliver selections from their extensive back catalogue, including tracks from the 2023 anniversary album Infinite, which follows seasonal themes across thirteen musicians. Attendees can expect high-energy sections balanced with lyrical passages in a setting suited to folk enthusiasts.
