The past, present and future of traditional music
Edinburgh Tradfest has a rich story. With its longer tap roots in the Edinburgh Folk Festival, it was launched by Traditional Arts and Culture Scotland (TRACS) in 2013 to provide a distinctive platform for folk arts in the capital city.
Edinburgh is a hot house of talent, home grown and visiting, and Tradfest is an opportunity to see it all in play.
