Tell us about yourself
Dedicated to Scotland’s traditional music, we support, promote, and celebrate the musicians, educators, learners, and communities who sustain and shape our musical traditions.
We champion traditional music education by supporting educators and community organisations, promoting accessible learning opportunities, and developing resources for all. We also advocate for professional musicians and the wider industry through professional development workshops, our online directory of musicians, and regular newsletters.
Through our annual Trad Talk conference and the North Atlantic Song Convention (NASC), we bring the sector together to share knowledge, build connections, and support the continued growth and recognition of Scotland’s traditional music.
Any particular career highlights?
