I’ll be giving a talk this Sunday the 23rd November at the Scots Fiddle Festival in Edinburgh entitled:

‘Who Understands Scotland Musically?’

More information on this at www.musicalmeaning.com 

What is Scottish traditional music?

Who performs it?

How well educated are they?

What socio-economic class are they?

How do they learn?

Where do they learn?

Some suggested answers to these questions and others too this Sunday. A big thank you to all who took part in the survey. A complete download of the basic results is available here. And look out in the future for a more nuanced account of this data.

Some other great talks on that day too from Ronnie Gibson and Alastair Hardie.

Simon.
