Folk traditions are immersed in the stories of the common people. Our singers carry the stories of everyday life, whether delving into contemporary concerns or channeling voices from the past. In a weekend celebrating that connecting thread, we showcase some of the finest contemporary musicians from a living tradition - Kris Drever, Sam Sweeney Trio, Ellie Gowers, Amelia Coburn and The Shackleton Trio.
