We asked Ruairidh of Tea and a Tune<\/strong> the following questions.<\/p>\n

Tell us about yourself<\/strong>
\nTea and a Tune are a non-profit concert series who aim to provide a space for artists to share their traditional Scottish music with a friendly and supportive audience. We\u2019re interested in hearing how musicians respond to the rare opportunity to perform without accompaniment.<\/p>\n

Why are you involved in Scottish music?<\/strong>
\nWe wanted to create a space for unaccompanied concerts without amplification or alcohol to encourage a deeper listening and a discovery of the talents within Scottish music.<\/p>\n

Any particular career highlights?<\/strong>
\nSince starting in May, we've run 17 concerts and have raised over \u00a32000 – all going directly to the performing artists in cash on the night – welcoming a wide range of musicians from across Scotland's various music scenes. We're committed to a 50\/50 gender balance in our programming and aim to celebrate diversity in our concerts.<\/p>\n

What are your plans for the future?<\/strong>
\nTo continue to support local musicians by providing a platform for paid solo performance in a safe and encouraging atmosphere and to grow our audience with the aim to stage larger events.<\/p>\n
