About the event

Trad Talk 2025: Innovation
Trad Talk is the Traditional Music Forum of Scotland‘s (TMFS) flagship annual gathering, bringing together performers, educators, promoters, and enthusiasts from across the traditional music community.

This event creates space for meaningful dialogue on issues facing our sector. This year’s theme is Innovation. We will explore the balance between respecting traditions while embracing new approaches that ensure traditional music and song remain relevant and vibrant for future generations.

Join us to connect with peers, share insights, and celebrate Scotland’s traditional music scene. The day will include the AGM of the TMFS. Complimentary lunch is provided as well as a short performance from the Fèis Rois Cèilidh Trail.


This event is free but ticketed.
