The Scots Trad Music Awards is a celebration of Scotland's rich musical heritage and a fantastic night of music and excitement. The Awards encompass Scotland's thriving traditional music scene from Gaelic and Scots song, folk music, Scottish dance to pipe bands and more. There's music from many of last years winners including Blazin' Fiddles. Last year's ceremony was a sell out so book early and don't be disappointed!
