It’s hard to believe that it is one year since the last BBC Radio Scotland Young Traditional Musician Award Semi-Finals. In a few hours time the semi-finalists will convene for a weekend that could change their musical lives. Throughout the weekend we’ll be rehearsing, eating and taking part in workshops on Creative Scotland, and being a self-employed musician. Everyone will be hanging out as well playing tunes and having a lovely time 🙂 Why not come down and support the semi-finalists? The concert is in Coulter Hall, Coulter, South Lanarkshire (about 45 minutes south of Glasgow and Edinburgh) and starts at 7.30pm. Tickets are £8 (£6 conc) available on the door).
