About Scottish Traditional Music Hall of Fame 20th Anniversary Celebration

Host David Francis sits down with renowned photographer Louis DeCarlo, whose lens has captured every inductee since the Hall of Fame's inception in 2005.

Louis will share captivating stories from his photographic journey across Scotland and Ireland, including his memorable encounter with the late Paddy Moloney. His warm approach and genuine passion have made meeting Louis a highlight for inductees - many describing it as "one of the best parts" of their induction experience.

Discover the human stories behind the Hall of Fame's distinguished members and celebrate the dedicated musicians and industry figures who have shaped Scottish traditional music.
