Brilliant mention for this year's festival on last night's Folk Show with Lynette Fay on BBC Radio Ulster. Huge thanks to Lynette, and the BBC, for their support. For everyone travelling over from Ireland, we look forward to welcoming you to this beautiful part of Scotland this weekend.

Folk Club is a weekly radio programme dedicated to the best in traditional and contemporary folk music and song with studio guests, concert performances, new releases and vintage vinyl.  We listen to the show every week in the office here and it has very much influenced who we have invited to the festival every year.

Autumn Trad Festival 2025 update

Despite best efforts to promote this year's Autumn Trad Festival - an event that champions young people in traditional music and which was due to celebrate its 5th annual event this year - a lack of funding and poor ticket sales may see the event cancelled.
