Running November 28 - December 2 in venues across Edinburgh, the festival showcases music from Scotland. (1/5) #SoundhouseWinterFest #Edinburgh
So that's a wrap on #EdinTradfest24 💙 2 months on from our final concert we thought we'd finish reflecting on the Festival with a roundup video of highlights.
🙏 Edinburgh Tradfest 2024 was made possible due to support from @CreativeScots and The William Grant Foundation. (1/3) – at Scotland, United Kingdom
Our heartfelt thanks once again to everyone who helped make #EdinTradfest24 happen, with special thanks to the Everyone's Welcome to Edinburgh band (arranged by Robbie Greig) for performing the music accompanying this montage: Pottingers by Tom Anderson. (2/3) – at Scotland, United Kingdom
Thanks to @xtinawebber too for trying to v. subtly capture clips from every #gig! If you're watching this wishing that next year would come sooner, @soundhouseorg have *just* announced a new 5-day shindig launching in Edinburgh later this year.

Ok - our final review from #EdinTradfest24, we promise - and where to close but the closing night? ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ for @JulieFowlis! 'It’s fairly pointless to talk of highlights when the word is apt to every number in the show.' Read in full, via @The_Q_R: bit.ly/3VkCeAo
It's another ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ for @DaimhMusic at #EdinTradfest24 from @The_Q_R! 'Dàimh haven’t been filling venues for 20 years by accident. They need another gig review the way Scotland needs more rain.' But where's the harm in one more!!

5 x ⭐ for Lena Jonsson & @brittfiddle from @The_Q_R! How was this 6 weeks ago already?! 'Suffice it to say that an encore was demanded, and if the audience had had their way, the duo would have been playing till midnight.' #EdinTradfest24 📰 Read in full: bit.ly/4cd8EDY
In the words of @The_Q_R, ETF Spotlight is 'one of the best events at Edinburgh Tradfest, a chance to meet a clutch of new, rising talents'. This year was no different! 4 x⭐ awarded for Miguel Giräo, Elír, Noah Scott & Ciorstaidh Chaimbeul & Beatha. Read: bit.ly/3ySj2Te
