Honoured to have represented @wearethemu.bsky.social at #NaTrads. The MU is fighting for fair pay, for stronger protections for performers, for venues, for education that keeps our traditions alive. Each nominee in this category is a shining example of the very best o innovation upon tradition.
@bbcalba Enjoyed some of #NaTrads, including the unaccompanied-singing in tribute to Archie Fisher RIP, but, otherwise, is it going more-and-more (American) pop to be popular? My WalkaboutsVerse #poem "There is a U.N." walkaboutsverse.blogspot.com/2010/03/walk...

It's that time of the year again - time to nominate your favourite folky artists and facilitators.
If you do remember a certain Gaelic columnist for The List in the media category, that would be much appreciated.

Congrats @handsupfortrad.bsky.social on another fabulous celebration of our trad scene. Folk were asking about my lapel last night: a hairst knot, traditional straw work made by Elaine Lindsay. Bothy loons wore something similar when seeking a fee. A wee nod to my pal, the late Joe Aitken. #NaTrads
The Hamish Henderson Award for Services To Scottish Music goes to a woman who was not only the founder of feis rois but also a hugely influential figure in the traditional music community. Congratulations, Christine Martin . #NaTrads
I've been presenting this award for 24 years and I dont think there's ever been a more popular winner says Martin Hadden as he announced that the winner of the Albumn of the Year was The Waiting Room by Eammon Nugent. #NaTrads
Watching LJW tearing it up at the #natrads
Great show with a wealth of talent on show, nice to see some local winners and some of the no longer youngsters that have been involved in the local Fèis groups.
So important to keep the music alive and handing the tunes to the next generation.
Congratulations to the winner of Traditional Musician of the Year Kirsty Beaton #NaTrads
